Looking to buy high end 27/32Ft Travel Trailer

A year ago, my wife and I started shopping to replace our 2002 Sunline trailer, and which was a really well made trailer. Since we were looking for a shorter and lighter trailer, our options were limited. We looked at a lot of trailers and the Winnebago line and found them to be better overall than a lot of what we saw. But "quality" is a very subjective perception. Our observations were the cabinet work, hardware, fit and finish, and overall design. I was also looking for a roof designed to be able to walk on when needed. As to how well the floor, wall and roof structures will hold up over time, I don't know.

When it comes to travel trailers, I don't think there are any really "high end" products unless you consider Airstream to be one. But, their is a lot of low end cheaper trailers because too many people entering the RV market want a large and low priced unit.

Define High End

Depends on what you consider high-end. What's your budget? Are you looking in the $35K range or $75K range? The Forest River Rockwood and Flagstaff twins are around $30-$35K and a big step up from the entry level trailers. If you looking for something much more high-end, I can't advise but they're out there.

Agree that Airstream is a quality trailer. Been around forever and likely will stay that way. But....if you're looking for something with slides and some extra room, you'll be out of luck. Unless things have changed very recently, Airstream doesn't have any trailers with slides. Also, with the curve up the sides and onto the top, you lose some storage space. Maybe a problem for you, maybe not. If you could tell us a bit more about things like size, how many for sleeping, toy hauler type or not, etc that would help with some ideas. Yes, I did note you mentioned 27 - 32'...are you thinking box size only or bumper to ball.....huge difference. And agree, high-end is VERY much in the eye of the beholder. Also, some info on your tow vehicle and its specs would be good.

The Forest River Surveyor line fits the bill. I am very happy with mine.

2013 Surveyor SVT264BR

Here's why I like the Northwood/ORV trailers:

-Everything is put together well
-Most appliances are upgraded from standard fare (i.e. larger water heater, bigger oven, bigger fridge)
-Full aluminum body framing, with wood embeds in the framing for attachment points, so the screws won't pull through
-They use screws instead of staples
-Outside kitchen has a proper 3-way fridge.
-Bigger tanks. Mine holds 103 gallons of fresh water.
-4-seasons rated (good insulated and fully insulated water systems)
-Beefy chassis with proper gusseting at suspension points and shock absorbers.
-Good year tires, Load Range E on the bigger units, or at least Ds on the mid-size trailers.

Would this be considered a high end model?

I don't think this is in production yet, but it looks like it has potential.

I certainly would consider that high end :)
