Thread: Rv/toy haulers

Yalls bes expurts on Ery thing over here....... Who builds a good one?

I don't sell campers, I use them. If you think my Winnebago is cheap I invite you to come take a look at it, but it is not a toy hauler or fifth wheel, it is a travel trailer. It is a correct statement that Winnebago bought the Sunnybrook line after Sunnybrook went under, but Sunnybrook was always a quality and well-respected brand. I would like to see the link that was found about Sunnybrook being the cheapest brand in America. As far as toy haulers, I don't have a clue about them cause I don't haul my toys, I pull them. Jayco used to make a quality RV, but the last two I bought, the White Hawk and an Eagle 5th wheel were as cheaply made as any RV on the market. The last Jayco salesman I dealt with sold many campers, but did not own one and had never been camping. To get to the "quality" in Jayco you may have to get into the higher end lines. First thing you need to do is make sure your vehicle will pull any RV that you buy safely. Don't just look at the RV weight, (unloaded weight), decide how much weight your are going to add, then make sure you have enough vehicle payload capacity. A 5000 pound RV grows quckly when you add two passengers, load your RV then add the weight of any toys you might be hauling, maybe an extra 2500#???? Campers have really gone up in price the last few years, a $20000 camper five - six years ago is around 30000 now. It is good advice to look around and try to find a good used RV. Many folks buy one and find out that the RV lifestyle is not for them.
