Our first trailer, bought in 2003, was a new Jayco 26BH, so we had nothing to compare it to. I pretty much made the decision based on all the positive reviews and asking the exact same question on this board 12 years ago. We then sold that trailer in the early Spring of 2008, when the economy was booming, for $2000 more than we paid for it. Of course, we take exceptional good care of our things, and had added quite a few accessories, but we definitely couldn't complain the trailer didn't hold its value after 5 years. Our next trailer was a 2008 Stellar Toyhauler, purchased used, but like new, in 2008. We sold that trailer for $6000 less than we paid for it 6 years later. Not too bad I guess in this economy. Now, we've decided to go to a fifth-wheel, and we didn't even hesitate with which brand, we loved our Jayco. Maybe because it was our first? I'm sure that has something to do with it, but comparing it to the Stellar, or other trailers in the family, we prefer the product Jayco puts out. So, the new trailer's ordered. We're scheduled to head to Iowa the first week of June, as soon as the kids are out of school to pick it up. I don't know who's more excited, my wife and I, or the kids.
