These topics never end well because there are so many opinions on brands. So find a good floorplan at as good of a price as possible, inspect the TT very well and have the tech show you everything to make sure it works well. And make sure you buy from a reputable dealer that has great service. You may want to buy from a dealer that is closer than an hour away, because almost every TT has some things that have to be fixed or replaced under warranty.
Correct!
I would add in that if you are wanting slides, make SURE you can get around the slides when they are IN. This is extremely important since often times the floor layout is BLOCKED when the slides are in.
While you may not ever use the RV with the slides in, often times when you store the trailer you may need to store it with the slides in...
Another point of contention is quality vs leaks, this is a never ending heated discussion.
There are only two types of RVs, one that is leaking and one the WILL be leaking.
If this is your first RV, be prepared to do battle with never ending leaks. RVs unlike stick and bricks homes tend to flex a lot, this tends to break the caulking around any opening from the roof down over time.
Many on the forum seem to feel that no RV should ever leak and therefore never check the caulking. Then after one or two years sign up to forums like this and badmouth the manufacturer and the dealer when they discover major water damage.
Hence the reason as to my first statement, don't worry so much about manufacturer brand quality.
