Best one??? Weekend Warrior, Skyline, suggestions??

The one I'm looking at (and the reason for my "Would you Pull This?" post) is the 240 Skyline. 2007 for $27k OTD...includes weight distribution and anti-sway hitch. Lots of toys on this trailer. Two big selling points they push on the Skyline is the trailer is UL certified (supposedly only one on the market) and the flooring. Solid wood througout.

 

I don't sell TT's but I have sold other products in the past, some were UL listed others not.....don't get too stuck on the UL listing. All it means is it was tested by UL instead of in house QC and had to pay for each individual component tested. Component UL testing is expensive and those UL tests prices are passed on to you.

I also was an instructing manager in metrology (Science of Weights and Measures) of a test lab that did physical and electrical testing and calibration.

ISO and NEC (electrical) have standards and the living quarters of the trailer will be built to these standards, but the trailer portion...walls, supports, frame, suspension, lighting do not have any type of standards what so ever. Even the thickness of the flooring and walls varies from one manufacturer to another.

Yeah the guys putting the trailer might be building it like it has standards, but what those are are up to each individual manufacturer.

In my opinion anything UL tested is over priced...as a way of justifying the price. Look it over...ask tons of questions...compare construction and features.....or tell me to go take a hike....it's ok.

 

No way dude...this is the stuff I need!!!

Any other toy haulers out there?? Make a recommendation or share an experience!!

 

weekend warrior all the way, i have a superlight 24" footer, i love it,

 

How about Attitude / Z-Gravity light weight line. Made by Eclipes RV Inc?? Our hands down favorite floor plan thus far. Like the Weekend Warrior, but not as much as this one.

I talked to one guy at a dealership that said he used to carry them but they droped the line because of bad warranty support from the factory. Chalk this up as one guys opinion trying to push his brand maybe???

 

Have you seen this list? Search your model on RV.net forums for actual weight. They are all heavier than the MRF ratings.

I recommend a separate living space from toy space.

A friend of mine has a mid 90's Sunline TT and loves it. It has great quality. They make a Transport line now. You might be able to get away with the shorter one with only two motorcycles.

 

I got a 2004 Attitude 21 foot and I love it, It's just a little heavy for the f150 but oh well. The price was too good to pass up!!!

 

Well, this subject is over. Bought a 23' Sandpiper Sport. 5,900 lbs dry. It has 90% of what we wanted in a trailer and I made it under my 6,000 lb goal!! We'll see how the old girl pulls her!!!
