Primetime Avenger quality?? compared to Jayco or keystone

im in the market for my first TT. looking for a 26 footer with bunkbeds and separate room for a queen bed. my local dealer has a avenger 26bh for sale.. real nice unit.. im just wondering how the quality on avengers are? this has to last me... I really like the Tracer they have with the slide out but I really don't think I can afford the extra $7000-$8000 that they are asking.. dealer asking $16,000 for avenger and $23,000 for tracer.. both good prices I believe..
Another dealer alittle further sells keystone and jayco. they have a Keystone 268lhs slideout for around 19,000 or so... this one has a slideout, but im not sure once again about keystone quality.... and then they have a jayco 267bhs w/slideout for 17,500... my wife is leaning towards the avenger at the 16,000 price, but its the only non slide out... beautiful camper though.. I love the room with the door for the two of us, and the large bunk beds, but im not sure if I will regret no slideout.. how are these avengers? quality wise compared to jayco or keystone? should I push and try to extend myself and get one of the more expensive ones? my favorite is the tracer but I cant afford the 23 grand price on it..thanks for help..
  • We are considering an Avenger 26BH or Jayco 26BH. Decisions, decisions...
  • Avenger is from PrimeTime, which is part of Forest River. We have a PrimeTime Lacrosse. Quality is good so far. Forest River has a good rep. All the brands mentioned have a good rep. Personally, I think you'll get more enjoyment from having a slideout than from saving a few bucks, if that is a choice you can make. Just so much more room to move around inside.
  • We looked at an Avenger when we bought our Coachmen. Two things swung us to the Coachmen. It was lighter than the Avenger and the Avenger we looked at had aluminum siding versus fiberglass on the Coachmen.

    All things being equal, I would not had any problem buying the Avenger.
