Newbie looking for some advice/help
We have been looking (to include a show in Sept.) for the right TT for about 6 months now. We are leaning towards the 27' to 29'range. We like the look of fiberglass over aluminum. I made the mistake...

I agree that many of the basic components are the same. But, there are some trailers that are finished a little nicer and have better fit and finish. I almost hate to say that as many will argue differently. We liked our Winnebago because of the amount of storage space, outside kitchen and it the fit and finish was better than many that we looked at. I like a lot of Jayco products, but wasn't impressed with their smaller, lightweight trailers. Evergreen makes a trailer very similiar to ours, but the fit and finish wasn't as nice as Winnebago, and I liked the longer awning on the Winnebago vs. the larger door for the outside kitchen and shorter awning on the Evergreen. The Passport line of trailers were very attractive. If I had a 3/4 ton truck and wanted to spend a little bit more, it may have been worthwhile to track down an Arctic Fox trailer, but I would have had to travel quite a ways west to find a dealer.
Having had a Sunline with aluminum siding and now the fiberglass bonded panel Winnebago, the smooth side Winnebago is much easier to clean and wax.
Bottom line is you just have to take your time and find the trailer that matches your needs, price range and will work with your tow vehicle. After that, the major thing is to maintain all seams and seals to avoid water damage.
So, don't agonize over it. Find what will work for you, and then enjoy. If you are like most folks, you won't keep it forever and find a newer trailer that is much more attractive (although I don't plan on getting rid of my Minnie for a long time!).
