Used Fleetwood or Jayco

Well everyone was very helpful on my first post regarding Travel Trailer length I have been looking at some of my options. In comparing 2 different used trailers both 28 foot (i'm waiting to find out what measurement that is). 1 trailer is a 1982 Jayco, and the other one is a 1995 fleetwood, both appear to be similar trailers and similar condition, I will be looking at both of them soon. They are both similarly priced as well. Given the above would there be any reason to consider the older Jayco over the fleetwood?

Thank you again for your help, can't wait to join the Travel Trailer community.

My choice would be based on condition. As already said, it makes no difference who makes it at that age.

At those ages, it doesn't make a bit of difference....Jayco, Fleetwood, or whatever.....make your choice by condition and best floor plan that fits your needs.
Forget about the label and graphics on the side...
And prepare to spend some money beyond what you pay for it.
