opinions on starcraft 14rb

Hello all. I'm going to look at a starcraft 14rb with my parents tomorrow and wanted to get some opinions from everyone on this trailer. They looked at it today and like the floor plan and think it will work for them( I think they caught the bug from me this spring).

Trailer is a 2012 new old stock, dealer is wanting $9300+tax, no PDI or freight. TV is a Pontiac Montana Van tow rated for 3500#. TT is 3000# GVW 250# dry tonge wt.

My only advice to them was to get a good proportional brake controler and possibly remove the rear van seats to gain back some payload (they don't use them any how), also possibly a trans cooler.

Any other thought on the trailer or advise would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

  • I have the same floor plan from a different manufacturer. It's my humble opinion that no brand is really better than another. My only thought, though, is about the floor plan. The dinette/bed combination is a pain to switch back and forth. If your parents are good with that -- great! We end up leaving the bed as-is and using the couch as the eatin area. Oh-another thing-make sure they understand the fresh/gray/black capacities and how that can affect their style of camping.
    Hope that helps...
