Re: 30' Travel Trailer State/County Parks
Thank you for everyone's input. We actually found a Hybrid Travel Trailer we really liked and bought it. We really enjoyed the Tent sides of our popup so we were really happy to find a shorter travel trailer with plenty of space with the pop-outs to serve our needs.503Views0likes0CommentsRe: Used Fleetwood or Jayco

I'm fairly handy and can fix, replace most anything else. I also have a brother and brother in law that are carpenters. I'm just not sure how you fix/prevent the roof from leaking. As long as the roof hasn't leaked yet, you have plenty of options. You can do various coatings or completely replace with EPDM. If it's leaked, I personally wouldn't buy. Much bigger can of worms than I would want to deal with. I don't plan to buy anything that has leaked already. I realize all trailers are different and it is largely dependent on how it was taken care of, but is there an average for how long the roofs last on these things? If I went newer how much newer would I have to get for it to make a difference?543Views0likes0CommentsRe: Used Fleetwood or Jayco

Well everyone was very helpful on my first post regarding Travel Trailer length I have been looking at some of my options. In comparing 2 different used trailers both 28 foot (i'm waiting to find out what measurement that is). 1 trailer is a 1982 Jayco, and the other one is a 1995 fleetwood, both appear to be similar trailers and similar condition, I will be looking at both of them soon. They are both similarly priced as well. Given the above would there be any reason to consider the older Jayco over the fleetwood? Thank you again for your help, can't wait to join the Travel Trailer community.5.4KViews0likes13CommentsRe: 30' Travel Trailer State/County Parks
wow, so many good responses and suggestions. Thank you everyone for your input. I will defiantly look more closely at intended camping sites before making a decision. I was also surprised to learn that that is no "standard" in how to measure, box size verses trailer size. In my mind the only measurement I care about is bumper to ball.401Views0likes0Comments30' Travel Trailer State/County Parks
We are moving up from our popup and want to get a Travel Trailer. We are considering a 30' trailer but i'm a little hesitant that it might be too long in state and county parks. Can anyone comment on this? We would mainly be camping in the midwest, (Minnesota, Dakotas, Wisconsin) I'm not too worried about pulling it down the road, I pull my 24 foot snowmobile trailer just fine, its just getting it in the park and positioned in its spot that worries me. Thanks for your input.9.3KViews0likes30Comments
