- facoryExplorerSure looks like a nice trailer.
- jimw606ExplorerHave you looked for the weight sticker, usually located on the left front. May be washed off though.
- Community AlumniI think Fred made some good points. Essentially what are you going to do with it and how much would you pay for it!
Personally I'd have no problem buying TT that is out of production if it was in good shape and served my needs. All the utility/appliance devices are the same as typically any other TT, i.e. hot water heater, ac, furnace, fridge, stove etc...
A few things to look at are the tires, roofing material, caulking and any evidence of leaks. - Golden_HVACExplorerMany higher quality manufactures have changed to fiberglass sidewalls, with foam insulation 1.5" thick in a sandwich, vacuum bonded together. This proves to be very reliable, air tight, good insulation, and durable in RV use, where it is bouncing down the road constantly.
This unit looks like it has a 1.5" stick wood frame, and typically would have thin fiberglass insulation, with aluminum siding, and whatever they want on the interior, many times it is thin wood paneling. Because the aluminum is not glued to the outside and the inside panels are not glued (typically) to the upright panels, they are not nearly as rigid. And 1.5" fiberglass is not nearly the insulation value of 1.5" of foam. Fiberglass allows air to flow in and out of the walls, so on a windy night, it can have double the air changes with outside air, compared to other construction.
So if your plan is camping in good weather, it will work great. Camping in humid or raining weather that might get windy? Not so great, you would need to run the furnace more, or run the A/C a lot.
Durability? I have had no sidewall problems in 50,000 miles with my Fleetwood Bounder - I bought it in November 96 new. It has fiberglass sidewalls, rubber roof. I did have to re-coat the rubber roof twice.
I know that Airstream all aluminum construction is also great process, with seams that do not leak or separate.
I don't think that this RV will be around in 20 years, just a guess though. Many aluminum sided RV's are worn out by the time they are 20 years old. While a fiberglass sidewall RV might still look like new if it is clean and waxed properly during it's lifetime, and you might not be able to tell that it is 20+ years old.
Good luck,
Fred. - fla-gypsyExplorerLooks like a discontinued model once made by someone else. The trailer makers buy out product line names all the time
- DutchmenSportExplorerDoing some Google searching, it looks like Celebrity is manufactured by "Skyline". Although when going to the Skyline Manufacturer web site, they don't list any "Celebrities" there. Also, doing more searching, it looks like about the last year I could find any was around 2009. So it's possible they are no longer being manufactured.
Here's a link to Skyline: Click here.
Skyline also has a line of manufactured homes and Park Models: Click here.
But goodness, their web sites make it almost impossible to find an address. After digging and digging, I finally found this:
Skyline Corporation Headquarters
2520 B-Pass Road
Post Office Box 743
Elkhart, Indiana 46515
Elkhart, Indiana 46515
800-755-6521
574-294-6521
I certainly hope their phone system is more user friendly than their web site.
Good luck. - vicsrcExplorer
