What is the best Travel Trailer?
« on: July 23, 2011, 11:11:44 PM »
What is your opinion? 

I really like the construction of Arctic Fox triailers.  I also need a trailer to be a true 4 season trailer. 

What trailers do you, or have you, owned and how did they stand the test of time.  I do not want to buy junk and it seams there is a lot of junk out there.

Thanks

Johnny

I bought a used Arctic Fox about 4 years ago, just because from the research I did it was one of the only trailers that are made for winter use. I really haven't got a chance to use it as much as I'd like, and I can't really say it's the "best". But we haven't had any problems with it. It's a 1999 model, 25 footer.

We got a silver lite trailer and we like it a lot. I don't what you plan to use your trailer for but we got the 2 horse trailer with the living area. In the 6 years we've had it we've never had any problems. It's been to Reno a few times, Texas, Oklahoma, Montana, Wyoming along with using it in Washington for hunting, camping, horse shows etc...It's nice to come in from a day of deer hunting and turn on the t.v. and watch some nascar or some football.  :tup:

I own a outback with the four season package and we really like it. seems to do a pretty good job in the winter. Last year in late archery season it got down to -15  and it handled it fine. The dislikes with this trailer is the white walls and cabinet's and doors. It looks really good but after a long day of hunting wife gets a lil upset if you come in without striping down outside first because it shows all the dirt. I wanted an arctic fox but found a great deal on the outback plus the wife likes all the fancy options on the outback. You cant go wrong with the arctic fox prob the best all around trailer out there. :twocents:

I own a weekend warrior superlite toy hauler. It is goof for all 4 seasons. Oversize compartments on it for water and waste. Pulls great with my f250, pulls decently with an f150. The dislikes that I have on it, well there are really none.

Airstream is the best. Then Arctic Fox, then Nash. Airstream's are expensive and heavy, but very well built. I think Arctic Fox and Nash are the best for the money. Good luck and have fun shopping.

I owned a sierra, made but forrest river a few years back. Bought it new. Had a few of the wall studs come loose in the first year and pushed the tin out. I got good service, but I don't think I would own another one, and would not recommend one either. Mine was not designed for the winter.

My best piece of advice, buy a slightly used trailer and let someone else take big value loss the first year. There are way to many quality used trailers out there to buy a new one.

Ashersdad

I have noticed the light / white cabinets in a lot of the newer trailers.  WTF were they thinking putting white in a camping trailer?  My kids would have those cabinets brown on the first trip.  I do see a lot of those Outbacks on the road these days. 

WSU

We will use it alot during the summer because my wife is a teacher and I have a great schedule (24 hours of work 48 hours off).  I will also use it durring archery hunting season (early and late) that is why I want the four season.  I estimate we will use the trailer 10-15 times a year.

Thanks
Johnny

I have a 2004 Artic Fox 25ft trailer. Dry weight is 6800lbs. It is a great trailer. I researched a lot before I bought this one. It doesn't have a smear toilet (room to wipe) and I can stand in the shower without hitting my head. It will be for sale in January because I will be building a cabin on my property. $9500 if you want to wait.

How about 9000 right now???   :chuckle: :chuckle:  I may be interested if I haven't found one buy then.  I have noticed used arctic fox trailers are not as readily available as others.

Instead of starting a new thread on this subject, figured I’d revive this one. I was also curious what you guys thought was the best built travel trailer? It seems Arctic Fox is in the lead here, anything change since this post? We are looking for a quality newer trailer, tough to buy used, just don’t want hidden problems.
