I'm looking for trailer to live in full time in a remote area in northern Arizona. Cold, VERY windy weather is a concern in winter. It will be parked and not moved so tow-ability is not a concern. It will need to stand up to sub zero temps and 50mph winds, and (for about two months every summer) lots of rain. It doesn't need to be road worthy beyond being dragged a hundred or so miles up into the mountains and backed into its new home, and we'll ask the dealer to deliver it if we go with a dealer sale. ;-)
I looked at a 96 Avion la Grande 5th Wheel today. Very nice trailer inside. Had some cosmetic issues, but good bones. Oak cabinets, tile, felt very liveable inside. NICE price.
We walked around, shoved on the walls under the windows, stomped on the floors, looked for water leak stains, didn't see any leaks or soft spots. It has age, but nothing unusual and I didn't see any deal breakers. Looks a bit rough outside with faded paint but no bubbles or cracks in the outside. (Haven't checked the roof yet, will do that if we look at it again.)
What are your thoughts on this trailer as far as living in it goes? I know it's a higher end model. Any specific problems or good things we should be aware of?
