Hi, I just signed up for this forum because we have a Vantage 25RBS.
We have really enjoyed using this TT this past year. We first saw the Vantage in 2011 at the St. Louis RV show. It got best of show. The salesman said a shorter version was coming out. So we waited for it. We bought the 25rbs last summer. It was perfect for us and designed very well, i.e., a large bathroom, full size bed, big counter tops etc. We travelled during the winter for the job. Our tow vehicle was a 2006 Touareg V8. We were coming to an end of that phase of the job, and we got word that we got a new job that would not require that kind of travel to smaller towns. We traded in the tow vehicle (wonderful car, I cried) for a Beetle, and we have the Vantage on ebay for $24,200.
We have guessed at why Keystone (Thor Industries) discontinued the Vantage line. We surmise that they got pressure from Airstream as it may have been eating into the Airstream sales. The Airstreams are nice, but the Vantage is wider and taller and 25rbs has a slide out. Keystone continues to support the Vantage so no worries when it comes to warranties and repairs.
Thanks
