First, I want to thank this forum for sharing its experience. I began this search thinking my diesel F250 could pull anything. Now I understand that if I decide fifth wheel, I should go small to medium, and the lighter the better.
I have decided that my choice should be based on solo travel, with the two labs of course. Dragging around a 37 footcamper on the off chance my great nieces wish to go along just isn’t smart.
My question for today is which brands would your experience lead you to recommend to be pulled down the road. I know they are all designed with mobility in mind, but surely some hold up better. I’m thinking the Winnebago Minnie series might be a good choice....but that is based on having seen winnebagos on the roads for so long. I’d love an airstream, but finances direct me to look elsewhere.
Also, I wonder if you will validate my thoughts on older Class As. There are quite a few mid mileage coaches available around for 18-25K. My thoughts are that if I bought a 25K coach that is 15 years old...if I kept it for four years...put 40K on it...then I would have a higher mileage coach...with higher mileage that is pushing twenty years of age. Comb the classified for those. Owners can’t give them away....
Please don’t run down anyone’s products. I just want to know your thought on good choices for mid twenty foot sized trailer that will, with reasonable maintenance, stand up to a fair amount of road time.
