We were having a conversation and this question was discussed. Just wondering....how often, on average, do you guys trade in/buy new trailers and why?

Are you flaming me?

I dont think thats allowed in the rules.. Shouldnt you get a temperary suspension for that or get banned?

I did not direct my question to anyone directly and stated opinion only with regards to the content. And if you read the second post after that I did state this is a Q and A forum so I assume anything goes.....
Flaming you????

Why would I do that. You are just improving this site... And I thank you for it. Again.

Now if your arm should start to hurt. Just let us know... I bet we can offer many suggestions for a cure.

Seems like every 2-3 years, enough bells and whistles are unveiled to make us curious enough to "just look". Every 2-3 years we take the bait!

I've enjoyed reading everyone's responses on this thread, even if there is no consensus. It is interesting to see what is important to others, even if it differs from your perspective. I would say the biggest reason I have moved up and on from previous RVs is because of need with a growing family, and then need for some options that make setup and towing easier as I get older. Even something as simple as a powered awning and an electric start water heater makes the RV life so much better for me.

Oh, I missed the question about coffee. My amount of coffee during the day? Well, as I asked my Doctor when he asked me (at my latest physical) "How many cups of coffee do you drink a day?", I asked him: "How big a cup of coffee are you talking about?"... I drink less now, but not too long ago it was basically one continuous cup throughout the day. Now I usually shut myself off after lunch.

(Oh, and I enjoy reading and responding to "stupid" threads - makes for interesting discussion, and also makes for an active forum in general. Absolutely no reason to lock this thread unless it goes off the deep end.)

I've had my trailer since it was new in 2000. Love it, will keep it. Suits me fine and it's hard to find a small trailer with the features it has. It's paid for, best part.
No one forced me to read this thread by the way. Not sure why some people have to put down others on a community forum. If you're not interested in the question posted, or can't tolerate other's opinions then move on to another topic.

๐Ÿ™‚ Hi, we have had the same trailer, tow vehicle, and hitch for nine years; Tow vehicle might get replaced in the future.

I drink one cup of coffee per day; By actual measurement, it's really two cups. :C

Had a used PUP I got from a friend in 97. Had it for a year. Started dating again and she likes camping. YES! We bought a '79, 29 ft TT. Had it for two years and still using the 32 ft. Sierra we bought new in 2001. I'm kinda thinking I am ready for a little more room with a newer TT, but wife still loves this one.

Partner, It depends on your needs and your budget. We just traded a new Rockwood for a used older Rockwood. We got a great deal steal, we are blessed enough to have jumped at the offer. I have many friends that vary in what and when they purchase. We needed space and convenience, 6 kids, 10 grandkids, 2 yorkies, and our teens friends, oh yeah, my fishing gear. And this one we plan to own till it is an antique, and by then our son will adopt it from us, lol. Just my thoughts!
