Hello All
My husband and I are soon to be first time rv-ers. We have been searching out units for quite sometime now and I have been lurking in many forums. We also attended an RV show last year and again Friday night & yesterday.
You guys are great with all the info you give to us first timers.
My dilema is that we have narrowed our search down from about 50 fifth wheel models to 5 but still don't feel like we have enough knowledge to know which is the best choice.
I have heard some very negative comments on almost each of these brands especially Forest River. In speaking to each sales rep though, they tell me it depends on which Forest River brand you select and more importantly what dealer you choose.
We are so confused.
I was hoping that some experienced rv-ers may have some input to help us choose. The floor plans and options are very similar in each and all are in our budget range. What we don't have a good handle on is factory quality control and service. Each sales rep obviously pushes theirs as the best.
The models are:
2007 Keystone Laredo 315RL
2008 Forest River Rockwood Signature Series 8288SS
2007 Forest River Rockwood Signature Series 8280SS
2007 Forest River Sandpiper 295RG
2007 Gulf Stream Conquest 297FWB (this unit seems to have a little less in the features)
Sorry for the long post and a big thanks in advance for any input.
