New member and new to travel trailers. Need advice

Hello all! been reading this forum for awhile and decided to join up.

Our family have been camping for the last 5 years with a Jayco 1206 pop up and while enjoying it it is time to make the switch to a TT.

We went to our local rv show yesterday and seen a lot of trailers but the one that we liked was the 2014 Tracer 250AIR by prime time manufacturing. From what the sales man was saying it seems like a really well built trailer and for a 28 ft overall trailer it was light(4900). Does anybody have experience with the tracers? Whats the word on them and Prime Time?

Thanks

  • I have heard good thing and have looked at them in the past. I currently have a light weight trailer, 35 feet,6,400 lbs, 8,000 lbs loaded and all if fine with it.
  • Remember light weight often means light construction practices, that might not hold up as well over time.

    I'm sure some will disagree, but I am speaking in generalities, not about any specific make or model.

    Our trailer is one foot longer, with two slides that add weight. It weighs, ready to go, 8100 pounds per CAT scales.
