I hope it is ok to post same message on 2 forums (newbie and pop-up/tt)?
We're tent campers who are seriously considering buying a new 2006 Trail-Cruiser by Trail-lite within the next two weeks (credit union promo on financing ends 2/5--AND we think we'fe finally found "the" trailer).? It is a 24' 8'wide xtra lite expandable trailer (hybrid?) that has two fold out full size beds and a queen fold out on the front.? It has dinette and slide out sofa.? the model is C243S...(we have a 13 y/o boy and 6 y/o girl so 3 sep. sleeping quarters is a must for us).?
1.? Anyone have any experience with Trail-cruiser by Trail-lite trailers?? I know they are relatively new.
2.? I told the dealer we have financing and ins. all set up (he's right down the street from us) and he said he'd be giving it away if he went any lower than $17K...he said it lists for $20,8.? The brake/tow pkg would be extra, he said around $800.? Does this seem right?? We've looked around quite a bit and can't find many trailers w/ the three sep. sleeping areas AND a slide out sofa for this price range....seems we'd have to give up one or the other to get lower price????
3.? We have a 2005 quad cab Dodge Dakota 4x4 V8 rated for 5K.? This trailer has a dry weight of 3865 (don't see GVW on this flyer?).? Will this be tough to tow?
4.? Ins. quoted arond $120 per year liability/collision.? Does this seem about right?
5.? Credit union quoted 7.1 fixed for 96 months (8 yrs).? Think we can do better out there?? :-\
