Finally...

[Elaine]

Up until last month, I owned a 2006 139x. Aside from the constant front wall leaks that no one could ever find, resulting front wall rot....I loved that little trailer! (Sold it to a guy who could do the $5000 repair himself)
Big RV show/sale tomorrow - what should I buy? What should I avoid? All opinions/ideas appreciated. So far, I like Palomini (expensive) or Starcraft AR-ONE 15 (only 9 gal. black tank).
Tow with Jeep Liberty, 1-2 people, buying new.

Buy the one you like the best with the features you want/need....and fits your budget.

You can find folks who will demonize every brand, make, model, size of every item ever made....IMO>

I agree with Eagle, every manufacturer has their quality issues. I would also add that the dealer can make a huge difference. Some dealers forget about you once you pull your trailer off the lot and have little interest in helping solve any problems. Others take care of their customers and go to great lenghths to make sure you're happy with your purchase and advocate for you if there are problems.

So you should do some research on the dealers as well. If you have a dealer who won't support you, then minor problems quickly become major ones.
