If you buy an RV trailer just be aware of the fact that they're all built as cheaply as possible. They use cheap dometic air conditioners that don't last. So what you end up doing is having to spend about $1,100 on a good Coleman Mach. They use the cheapest appliances on everything. They used cheap fans which have to be replaced with good motors and good fan blades that actually move air. I found the best trailers to buy are the ones that are built out of aluminum welded frames and aluminum exteriors.There will still be cheap things to replace but the trailer will last a lot longer if it's made from aluminum framing. Just be aware that the RV business has engineered fraud built into it. It's a really crappy industry
Looking to buy our 1st travel trailer now that we're empty nester's but, wondering if it's worth it now?? :( Sounds very scary and more expensive than it's worth the more I read?? Damn......
That was truly informative. We're planning to buy either an RV or trailer, so we still need to do our research into what exactly we want and what we want to do with it. Maybe a trailer so that way in case we go camping, we can drop off the trailer at the site and drive off somewhere like the supermarket, beach or go visit family and/or friends. I have a Toyota Rav4 but I just may be looking into a new truck for that type of hauling. I'm also looking into buying a boat, so, a trailer may not be suitable for me. These decisions are mounting up because of the activities we like to do while on vacation and looking into our upcoming retirement adventures along the way. We just need to visit one of these dealerships one day and sit with a representative and go over our options.
Wonder if they will list my concern ...its about the undercarriage and buying used from Camping World. We did and was a great RV 5th wheel They were to service it complete...including taking care of my concern since I am an old timer and have had a lot of RVs...but not from Camping World this was a first. We bought a 5th wheel 7 years old and looked like new. Obvious had sat some place and not used much. They promised a complete service Long story short..We picked it up and were told all was checked including bearings, wheels and everything. Headed for Arizona from Washington State...1000 miles down high way blew a tire...Tires looked like new when bought and was told bearing were hacked etc. Got Good Sam road to help and the guy noted the tires although new were 7 years old...he said must not have been used much but said even sitting the tires could go bad. Showed me the date on the tires. Called camping world and they did replace the one tire but refused to do the others. Got back home and took it in and found no they had not serviced it as was told. Guy in maintenance showed me bearings that were in bad shape and agreed the tires would have been replaced. Took over a year with threats to get them to do anything. Finally they did replace wheels and bearings but not after playing games. Lot more then this but a warning...dont trust them. Have a independent RV service person check anything you buy from Camping World...

@@audnbob1 Prices on rvs have gone up a lot since the COVID 19 crisis began. If you are going to buy something I would wait to after the election.
@@randychurchill201 Thank you Randy! We will! We aren't in a hurry so, time is on our side :)

Great video with a lot of useful information; especially for someone like me who is trying to decide which travel trailer will best suit my family.
Thank you! We really appreciate your feedback. 🙂
Any recommendations for a small family travel trailer that will pulled by a 1/2 ton pick up
Bought a Keystone Laredo 280rb. Great Rv for two people . Big shower and island kitchen
We're glad to hear you're enjoying it, Paul!
Aluminum sidings sound more reliable.
Ian - great job👍
Thanks Jeffrey, I appreciate it!!
