Unique Usage -- Looking to Buy

Good evening,

New to the forums.... so thanks in advance to everyone.

I'm an insurance adjuster who travels 200 plus days out of the year that recently did the math and figured out how much she can save with a trailer rather than hotels. Looking to buy a small trailer and saw one I really liked today, a Jayco 2016 White Hawk 23MRB. I"ll be in this thing for a majority of my year, and am looking for a solid investment. I know a lot of people have concerns about ALL types and brands, but is there anything in particular I should be aware of? What are comparable models to this for me to look into? A lot of the advice I've read so far is the dealer is more important than the brand, but since I travel so much all over the nation, I really have to be hopeful that I would find help wherever I might find myself.


Really, any and all insight is helpful. My dad and I just want to make sure I make the best possible decision I can make before dropping 20k+ and we just know so little...

  • Ohh good point -- Thanks! I've got a 2016 Chevy Silvarado with the 5.3 engine, full towing package - transmission cooler and brake assist built in.

    Some more information:
    They've got the price on the White Hawk at $21,999, they came down to $21,610 plus the equalizer hitch at $795.
  • Hi and welcome to the forum.

    Without answering the trailer question, I'd like to suggest sharing what you plan to tow it with.
    This is an important consideration because different tow vehicles have different maximum ratings and we would like to help you stay within the safety range for your tow vehicles capabilities.
