Peak Truck Camper
We're just getting into the TC world - downsizing from our 5th wheel toyhauler. We've been looking for an inexpensive older unit to cut our teeth with, but we've found there's plenty of junk out ther...

Thanks for the advice. I'm with you - I prefer aluminum, but I wouldn't rule out an incredible deal on a wood framed unit. The aluminum and fiberglass units seem to hold their value better, which is a good indicator to me of quality and durability.
I know aluminum and fiberglass isn't a guarantee, but if water ever does make it's way in, at least the structure doesn't weaken like it does with wood. Cosmetic repairs I can handle - structural, not so much. And they all leak eventually. So I know a throrough inspection will be in order no matter what brand I choose.
Anyone have any direct experience with Peak/ Kodiak or similar?
I've heard horror stories about the Fleetwood units, and sure enough, the two I looked at had major sag issues - one Elkhorn and one Caribou. Avoiding them like the plague.
