Looking to buy high end 27/32Ft Travel Trailer

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

2013 Surveyor SVT264BR

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.

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.

Define High End

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.

Pretty happy with my Northwood product. Real wood cabinets, the chassis seemed much more sold than the Lances I looked at. They are more expensive, though.

New Horizon or Forks RV. $$$$$ but high end. They will build what you want.

Is Airstream high end or just expensive?














thanks bgum

IMO there's not very many manufacturers of QUALITY units.

My short list would be NorthWood/Outdoors MFG in LaGrande (technically run as seperate companies, but same owner, philosophy, and chassis plant). From these Brands, and Arctic Fox and BlackStone names are the high-end line-ups. The BlackStone's are really sharp IMO, but I ended up with their lower-end Creekside due to floorplan. It's still pretty nice though, and I don't have to worry about tearing it up dragging it down forest roads. It pulls REALLY nice, especially considering its total overall length is 39', even though its model number implies its 31-feet.

Lance & Takena are also quality units, but I wouldn't consider them as high end.

I can speak to the Blackstone line from ORV. I purchased a Blackstone 280RKSB this spring and just returned from a two week trip down through Colorado and back. It is an exceptionally well built, luxury travel trailer that was very comfortable.
