Thanks so much for your information. I will look online for one also. I chose this time of the year because I thought I can find discounts. I am not in a hurry right now, but would like to find one before spring break. We are planning on going to the Mt. Rushmore area. We may stop by Yellowstone too, but wanted to save that for another trip.
I wonder if I can hire a RV mobile mechanic to help me inspect one, since they usually have more experience. I am thinking spending a couple hundred dollars is worth the thousands spent for one in the long run. I really don't want to spend more than $8k for one since that is really pushing our budget for something we only use 4-5 times a year.
I was looking at a Prodigy brake controller. Are these good? My truck is pre-wired for a brake controller, so I don't have alot of wiring to do.
As for the life of a hybrid trailer, someone mentioned a 10 year life. Is this true? And why? My coleman popup is 21 years old with a shower, has more moving parts. I regularly reseal it, grease the cables, bearings & pullies and treat the canvas and have had no problems
