Looking for higher end travel trailer

I have talked my wife into trading down from our 40' diesel pusher back down into a trailer. Right now she is stuck on a Montana fifth wheel that we both like but that would require me upgrading my tow vehicle and in the end, I will spend more money than just keeping the motorhome. The whole reason we are getting rid of the motorhome is lack of use. With that said, I am looking for a well built, higher end looking travel trailer to show her. I looked at the Blackstone's but there are no dealers even close to me. I just stumbled upon information on Prime Time Lacrosse but I know nothing about this company. How is the quality and reliability of this unit? Any information about this would be greatly appreciated.

    I agree. We did that some years back. We missed it and bought another with intentions of using it more. We still dont use it enough. We love camping just not enough time with work and other travel (planes).

    First, ask yourself why the motor home is getting less use. Is it the motor home itself, or is there simply less interest in traveling/rving? If it's the motor home (too big/cumbersome, etc.), maybe a trade is in order. Just don't buy a huge trailer, or you'll be in the same position as with the motor home. To me, 28 feet is perfect, assuming it has one or more slides. Longer than that becomes a little cumbersome. I've had larger TTs and a large 5ver, and I prefer them smaller now. It's so much easier to get around, and the selection of camping sites increases as the size of the camper decreases.

    We traded our 09 Holiday Rambler that we bought new in 08 for our Enterra 314RES TT to get more living room and kitchen space after we stopped traveling as much. Great decision for us, very happy with the TT in spite of less outdoor storage.

    We use it a lot more now that it sits on a seasonal campsite.

    Doesn't matter what you want or think. Get whatever the wife wants.

    I understand the "lack of use." We traded our Keystone Springdale after 8 years because we got to the point we were not using it very much any more. Floor plan just became more and more cumbersome for us. Traded for our Outback, and the interest, fun, excitement, and thrill is back. Nice, spacious, shiny, and new. No regrets. I understand perfectly.

    And you'll use a 5er/tt more?
