Congrats on your marriage! Now I will directly talk about the travel trailer brands you should choose and avoid.
First, avoid these TT brands, I found a very nice stat regarding what other RV'ers are avoiding.
1. Forest River travel trailer brand: 45%
2. Keystone travel trailer brand: 26%
3. Jayco travel trailer brand: 15%
4. Coachmen travel trailer brand: 5%
5. Winnebago travel trailer brand: 3%
6. Fleetwood travel trailer brand: 2%
7. Gulf Stream travel trailer brand: 1%
The survey detail is here along with lots of key reasons to avoid these brands.
Travel Trailer brands to avoid
Now, I'm giving my list of top travel trailer brands you should stick with.
1. Airstream Travel Trailer
2. Dutchmen Travel Trailer
3. Olivier Travel Trailer
4. Starcraft Travel Trailer
5. Lance Travel Trailer
It might be a very nice stat but also a bogus stat. The #2 brand to stick with also happens to be managed under the #2 brand to avoid.
The #4 brand to avoid is a sub brand of the #1 brand to avoid.
A Dutchmen product is not even close to being in the same league as an Airstream or Oliver, an Oliver has completely different construction than anything else listed, including Airstream.
Going by what to avoid, avoid about 90% of everything available. Which may be a good idea regardless :B
The author has vast experience. He must have taken the crash course lol. He spent significant time during the last 5 years conquering beautiful pristine lands LOL. WTH does that even mean? Furthermore he does not hit on the fact that most of the long time brands he mentions went belly up @ 08 and were snatched up by either Forest River or Thor Industries which between the two hold over 80% market share. He must have done his research looking at other bloggers. Of course you have more complaints towards the brands with the majority of market presence. All RVs will leak eventually if not maintained.
