My family has decided to purchase a Travel trailer. We pulled up a few web sites and started the search. We have 3 boys which the oldest is 20 so he may not tag along with the family much longer, and the other 2 are 15-16 so right away we need to sleep 4 adults. We narrowed it down that a motor home would not be practical. They are a little pricey and I like the fact we can detach the vehicle from the trailer. The 5th wheels look nicer than the Travel trailers, but I don't have a pickup to pull it, so it’s a Travel trailer it is. I have a SUV VW Toureq which has a 7500 lb towing cap.
Forrest River jumped right at me with the amount of quality it looked like in the construction and the detail in the inside design. I went to a local dealer to see it myself and he showed me an ultra light Flagstaff 27 'fls. This was a nice trailer and looked like it would work just fine. Outside shower, grill plenty of room inside and the price seemed to be comparable with most other trailers that size. The wife didn't seem thrilled but wasn't turned off either. I have been shopping around and my question is :
1) What is wrong with Forrest river quality?
2) Can I find ultra light weight in another trailer without sacrificing size and price?
3) Is 27' long too much for an occasional weekend warrior?
Any input to some questions that I am sure have been asked before but I haven't found them, would be appreciated.
Thanks Bill
