List of necessities?
We will be picking up our first camper next Tuesday, a used 2015 Keystone Laredo 291TG. It has a sewer hose and electric cord with it, but that's it. Is there a handy list of things that we will need for the camper? I've been reading about surge protectors, leveling blocks, wheel chocks, and water filters but what else will we need to set the camper up? We are brand new to this and so excited, yet a little nervous too! Thank you for your help!7.4KViews0likes21CommentsRe: Any advice on our first purchase?
Thank you everyone for your opinions! 37' IS a huge trailer and we weren't planning on going quite that large when we first started looking last summer. We really liked the 2015 Laredo 291TG when we looked at it (all 3 times!). It seemed to fit what we were looking for, aside from not having a bunkhouse slide or any kitchen drawers. It's used, but it's literally brand new and appears to be in excellent shape. They just got the 2016 Heritage Glen in and while it's huge, it has the bunkhouse slide we were hoping for and plenty of cabinets and storage. From the pictures, I think I like this one a little better. We're going to go look at it, knowing that it's likely too big for us. When we started looking, we really liked the Heritage Glen 312QBUD, but now that we're ready to buy, we haven't been able to find a used one. The extended warranty they talked to us about was Compass Platinum, but I don't recall the cost off the top of my head. The dealer isn't pushing us one way or another regarding the extended warrant. The hitch they have suggested is an Equil-i-zer brand.490Views0likes0CommentsAny advice on our first purchase?
We are new here and are looking to purchase our first camper and are looking for any advice! We are considering three different travel trailers with similar floorplans, all used at the same dealership. We will be traveling with our two kids (3 & 14), a very large dog or two and whatever friends and family want to tag along. Tow vehicle is a Ford F250 4WD crew cab. 2014 Keystone Laredo 320TG 2015 Keystone Laredo 291TG 2016 Heritage Glen 300BHS Are any of these prone to problems? We will probably be adding an extended warranty, but still don't want to deal with the hassle of constant repairs. Any pros/cons to any of the floorplans? The 2015 Laredo is the smallest (size and weight), but doesn't have a slideout for the kids bedroom. How miserable will that be when we get stuck with rain for a couple of days? As of right now, we have only been inside the 2015 Laredo. Thank you for any advice you have to offer!6.3KViews0likes19Comments
