Travel trailer. I am finally going to bite the bullet!

[More D]

I am blessed with a wife who loves to hunt just about as much as I do. Now we have a young daughter who is just like her mom and dad, she loves the outdors.

 

Now it is time for a travel trailer. Tent camping is fun! I really like it but now mom wants a trailer.

 

 

I only have experience with the Fleetwood brand but that was a few years ago.

 

We are for something in the 24-26ft range and new. My wifes Armada is rated to 9100lbs but i would like to stay under 7500lbs. A slide would be nice,etc.....

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks

I would stay with the fleetwood they make a good trailer.

I just went thru this same process. I ended up getting a Fleetwood Resort EXT... It is 25 ft long but it has two slides... One comes out the back(adds about 6 ft) and makes a queen-size bed and the other pulls out from the kitchen. It has double-bunks and can sleep 8... You might want to post this question over on rv.net We came across a great deal so we had to pull the trigger quickly. So we did not do alot of research... One thing I do recommend is make sure you get the Sway Controlers and the electric brakes... They really help out alot and it is nice to be safe. We got a Kipor Generator which ROCKS... It runs the AC and the Microwave.. We went with a new one because we are new to the Travel Trailer world and we wanted to have warranties and a dealer that would support there product.

If you are going used don't forget to check on e-bay... There seemed to be alot in AZ.

A few suggestions. Make sure you have a built-in generator. Go for big water storage in the area of 100 gallons. These two items will make it possible for you to stay away from civilization for a long, long time in comfort. Also, if you even think you will want quads someday, get a toyhauler.

Just lessons I've learned. Hope they help.
