Ultralights with four bunk beds
Hello,
We're looking for an ultralight (trying to stay close to 6,000 lbs) with four bunks in the back, as we'll be using it for our kids and their cousins. We actually placed an order for the jayco white hawk 30dsqb, but the dealer called us back a couple weeks later and said that the factory stopped making them (which is super annoying since I thought we'd made a decision!). So now, we either have to track one down on a dealer's lot, or look at other brands. We did find a Rockwood 2905SS nearby which looks pretty similar, but actually has an MSRP about $5k less. So, a couple questions that I'd love thoughts on:
1) Jayco was offering 5 years warranties at the show when we purchased ours, and I'm tempted to go out of my way to try to hold on to that... do folks here thinks that's worth as much I as I seem to be thinking it is?
2) I can't figure out why the Rockwood is $5k less than the Whitehawk for a floorplan and set of features that is more or less the same. Any perspectives here on whether Jayco / Whitehawk are actually that much better than the Forest River / Rockwood?
3) Finally, any other brands we should be looking at. We're willing to pay for the quality / reliability as long as we can get the configuration we want (~6,000lbs, 30-35 feet, and 4 bunks in the back).
Thanks!
