in answer to your question about moving the tv...yes and no. In laminated construction they install a backer (usually a piece of sheet metal) in the location where they plan on a tv being mounted..at the time it is built. This makes it difficult to mount it elsewhere as the walls will not have regular stud spacing. If you are mounting it on an INTERIOR wall you can usually find a stud for the anchor screws. As for overall quality....its average. Took a factory tour and it was average build...not bad but nothing outstanding either. If you like it I would go for it.

Hello all! been reading this forum for awhile and decided to join up.
Our family have been camping for the last 5 years with a Jayco 1206 pop up and while enjoying it it is time to make the switch to a TT.
We went to our local rv show yesterday and seen a lot of trailers but the one that we liked was the 2014 Tracer 250AIR by prime time manufacturing. From what the sales man was saying it seems like a really well built trailer and for a 28 ft overall trailer it was light(4900). Does anybody have experience with the tracers? Whats the word on them and Prime Time?
Thanks
Welcome from another Regina poster who just bought at the same show.
Do a lot of research before buying....I'm no expert but I spent 6 months looking at different units and researched all the manufactures.
Good Luck...

More than likely, the manufacturing of the camper you're looking at is about as good as any other. Pretty much, (I think), they are all made just about equal. There's only so much they can do to an RV, after than everything else is just for "looks".
Considering this is the first camper you found a strong interest in, be advised you most likely will go through at least 3 trailers, eventually move to a 5er, and then potentially move to a MH someday. As your needs and family dynamics change, so does your RV needs. Expect to change RV about every 5 years or less, and remember, what works today may not work well tomorrow.
In your choice, I looked up on the internet and having been through a PUP and 3 TT's myself now, my wife and I really turned-off on corner beds. However, in your model, you have corner bunk-beds. The question is, who is sleeping in them? If you have more than 1 sleeping in each bed, those corner beds are a real PITA. They are a PITA to make the bed, to change sheets in them, to sleep in them, to crawl in and out of them, and if you have adults with you, there are a real PITA to climb over each other. You'll soon find yourself VERY frustrated making up those beds.
Another thing, the television looks to be in a very uncomfortable position. It looks like its viewable from the master bed, but in order to watch, are you going to have to blast the sound to hear it, then anyone in the bunk beds (not watching it) will be annoyed, and if you have young kids, they'll not be sleeping.
Word of advise, things like this are not unearth until after you purchase the camper and bring it home. Although it may pi$$ off your local dealer a little, but spend some time in the camper before you buy it. Lay down in the beds, watch the television, play a board game at the table, and see if the lay-out REALLY is functional for you! It's time well spent and yes, it does usually pi$$ off dealers because you're spending so much time. But in the long run .... YOU are better off!
