Where to find TT/5er reviews

Whatever you buy.... new or used, bumper or fiver.... the main living room absolutely has to have 2 opposing slide outs. You can have a single slide in the bunkhouse and a single slide in the master bedroom.... but the living/ cooking area must be double opposing slides.

I've only seen 1 or 2 that have opposing slides in the main living room in the size and layout we are looking at. I'm sure it's nice to have, and living full time I agree it's probably a requirement, but they just aren't really out there. Another down side is that an opposing slide takes space away from the awning, which is kind of a bummer.

Two things you should always buy used, in my opinion, are RVs and boats. Most of the problems occur in the first twelve months. Let someone else deal with warranty work so you can just enjoy using it.

I agree with you 100%, however the used market seems to be lagging behind the new market at the moment. It seems that for the most part I can get a better deal on a brand new trailer than I can with a 3 year old one.

And I bet there will be a flood of lightly used RVs soon. Lot's of folks bought one during the pandemic without understanding the amount of effort it takes to actually own and maintain.

I thought that as well. That said, they seem to all be getting scooped up faster than I can look at them, for prices above NADA book value. At this point I realize that I'm either not getting a great deal or I'm waiting 3 years to pull the trigger (since we are planning on having another kid soon). I figured I'll never be able to make the memories with the little dude at his current age again so even if I end up paying 5k more it's worth it.

It's going to be a while before the camper thing sorts out. Right now they can't appliances to do warrantee repairs, they build a fast as they can get the appliances, but it's not enough. There are appliances that are in backorder that is expected to be 6 months or more.... so it's not getting better this year. If you want in the game, find something you like and go get it. If you wait, it's likely gone. A lot of inventory is being sold before hitting the lot.

I looked at both, sadly neither offer a "bunkhouse" option and that is the one single thing that the wife wants. A room with some sort of door for the little dude(s).

Look at outdoor rv mfg Timber Ridge 28bks. That's a bunk bed version my wife and I ordered. Although it is not a bunkhouse, just 2 bunk beds. Northwoods artic fox and outdoors rv mfg were once same company, employees, factory, family, or something like that.
