Outdoors RV vs Jayco - Owners, Please Share Your Thoughts
Hello--
Been looking for a used TT for my family of 5. Me, DW, DS (18), DS (13) and a furry friend. Our 13 yo has Autism and will be camping with us for years to come. Unlike most teens, DS (18) enjoys spending time with us and his brother so he will go with us as much as college allows him to.
Considering late model (2014+) Jaycos.... 28BHBE and 32BHDS. Used prices are around $15K-$20K
During my search I ran into a 2016 Outdoor RV Timber Ridge 280RKS. $32K is asking price. Did a little research and found it to be pretty well made.
What can those of you who own, or have owned, these models share about the Outdoor Timber Ridge 280RKS compared to Jayco Jay Flights?
The 280 RKS floor plan is nice. There are no bunks but the added two recliners allow wife and I a place to have coffee if our boys sleep in.
I know there is an additional $10K-$15K in cost. Wondering if the additional cost has merit and is worth nearly twice the price of the Jayco? Resale?
I plan on keeping for several years and using often once I retire in 6 years. In the meantime, 3-4 (4-6 day) trips per year, and a two week trip during summers.
Thanks!
