Travel trailer built using aluminum frame
I'm in the process of buying to a new Travel Trailer. I want to go for a higher end trailer with aluminum framing and have looked at the Forest River Rockwood line up. What over make and brand are ...

I have a Forest River Hemisphere 5th wheel. It has an aluminum frame and it's the sister unit to the Rockwood line. I would classify it as a lower end to mid range unit off the lot. I would say that if you like the travel trailer, buy the travel trailer. You can put a better stereo in it, you can swap out the tires, you can put in a upgraded converter, put in a better Television, better mattress, better faucets etc. You can do all of these things a heck of a lot cheaper than you can buy a travel trailer with those things already installed. The manufacturer/dealer markup for those things is crazy. And you can do those things as time and money allows. But, if you're not handy at all buy a better unit to begin with.
Rving/camping, whatever you might call it, is not something that a "mechanical klutz" will be very successful at. You cannot afford to take the RV to the dealer to get every little thing repaired, and as slow as most are, you will never get to use it if you do.
If you are not handy, you better start learning. Same goes for most other hobbies, such as boating.
