Re: Shocked at lack of quality
I just knowingly bought a new 2014 Prowler Lynx 26lx which is low cost and below entry level (if possible) but it fits our needs for a camping utility of no more than 2-3 weeks a year mainly in the local area. I have had 3 Jaycos, 2 Fleetwood upgraded models, a Kit Companion and early vintage Shasta. So "qualit" is also a function of intended use and individual capacity to "upgrade" and fix trailer components and fixtures. My new Lynx is bare bones but I plan to add (which I already have) a 32" flatscreen, some extra hinges and cabinet lifts, maybe upgrade the floor linoleum, some towel bars, mattress topper, two battery system and when it goes out, an upgraded converter. My low end unit has the same Norcold, ARI, Atwood, Drexel B&L etc. components as other mid to high end units, frame is the same as are tires. Finish work itself is no different either as all rvs have ceiling staples covered in caulk although mine is absent (thankfully) a lot of gimp strip. I think a family of four or five would be crazy to buy a 30-40K bunk bed travel trailer for 2-4 weeks use when an entry level same floor plan unit could be had for less than half the price. It should remembered,too, that all RV's (to one extent or another) have their issues regardless of their perceived quality or lack thereof.409Views0likes0Comments
