Why do people not keep it for 15 years? I would not like to have to spend more time, energy, and money shopping for a new one. I would like to keep one until I am too old to want to travel.

What is entry level and what is the solid level? At our age, we do not have the years to be buying entry levels (if that means 18') and trading up later on....

We would really like to buy something that we will be happy with for as long as the trailer will last.

I'm not sure if anyone gave the advice yet to buy your first RV used. As a general rule you really don't know what you want until you've experienced what you don't want. Many people trade lots of times before they get what they really like. We had a few before we found the one that is perfect for us. And it's a bit over 15 years old. ;)

Good luck!

This IS SOLID advice.

You have started so many threads you can't possibly keep track of them let alone make any wise choice. To me it seams like you are driving yourself crazy over this.

Please read my FULL response to your paneling/wallpaper question thread HERE

But I will repeat what sort of pertains to this thread and perhaps a few of your other threads you have started as well.

"..Mookiecat, wow, you have managed to post enough times in just a few days to reach "senior" status.. I haven't read much of your posts but just from skimming a few I think you need to go to a few dealers and simply start kicking tires.

Many of your questions you will be able to answer simply by going, looking, touching. Pretty hard to do from a keyboard or looking at floor plans in brochures.

When you PHYSICALLY can be in the RV then you will bet a better sense of the space, decor and functionality of the layout.

Many manufacturers will offer SEVERAL color/decor choices in the same floor plan. CHOOSE the color/decor of the plan that you can "live with". Keeping in mind that there is no rules that state that you must keep the curtains/window treatments or even the bed covers. These things CAN be changed easily and at a rather low cost if you are handy.

Basically unless you are planning to full time or live out of the RV for long periods of time I would not worry so much about decor. We rarely spend much time inside, instead we are outside much of the time and inside for sleeping."

In all honesty please don't get "stuck" on brands, quality and such especially when it comes to "reviews" and other folks "opinions" which tend to be BASED on one product, model and or design.

People tend to come to forums like this to COMPLAIN, for every complaint of each manufacturer brand and models there is most likely THOUSANDS if not TEN THOUSANDS of HAPPY and fully satisfied owners which DO NOT POST nor REVIEW about their RV.

Quality IS SUBJECTIVE, one persons trash is another ones "treasure", GO to some dealers near you and WALK THROUGH THE TRAILERS. You can not and will not "find" your "perfect" trailer from the keyboard.

As far as one brand lasting longer than another, forget about it. Unless the trailer has been MAINTAINED BY YOU even the most expensive trailer WILL rot apart. There are MANY, MANY 1960s, 70s, 80s, 90s trailers STILL in use today. ALL built using basic and simple framing methods. Granted there are a lot that are no longer with us, but often they were simply neglected.
