I just did alot of looking and research....when it came down to it the ATTITUDE toyhauler by Eclipse was the best. It was also cheaper. IMO they blew Weekend warrior and the Gearbox out of the water. Check them out.

A lot of choices out there, all of them have there lemons. Just get the one that fits YOUR needs.
I've had my Weekend Warrior for 4 years now, I can't complain.

Stayed with some friends in a Next Level by Holiday Rambler. Awsome finish inside. Great lay out and it was capped by a fiber glass nose piece like the WW. Tell you the truth WW was it as far as my comparisons and staying in that trailer swayed my opinion. Check them out. Hope that helps if not sit on your thumb and bounce on it. :D

Exiss makes a nice one. Kind of a custom thing for them. Their real gig is horse trailers. Kind of spendy.

Had a 21 Tahoe, not bad, well built and held up well. Bought a 30 Gearbox, would not purchase again. Had several problems with the fiberglass body, and they're warranty program is the biggest joke in the world. It blows me away that a company the size of Fleetwood sucks so bad. That's one of the reasons I bought it, I thought I'd be getting something very high quality from a company like Fleetwood. God knows I wasn't shopping for the cheapest trailer out there. My buddy bought a 23 Attitude, the trailer is one year old and falling apart, and again, the warranty is Sh-t. Other friend just bought an Extreme mega Lite 23, and it's pretty damn nice. My advice is to make sure whatever you get, you get it from someone who has a no bullsh-t warranty program. There's nothing more frustating than dealing with a bunch of hacks when it comes time to have repairs done. As a another member mentioned, they all have problems, it's how they're handled that makes the difference.

I saw there 33 or 35 foot gearbox at the Super Sand Show. They're representation of their product was terrible. As I looked into the trailer through the side door and saw the cabinets in the galley area I noticed they were all mis-aligned. The cut outs for the stove were all to shit, crooked drawer lines. You could see the staples from assembly. I asked the salesperson about the shoddy quality and his take was, well these things are mass produced by one of the largest RV/Trailer manufacturers in the world, they will not all be perfect. My take is, if the the worksmanship is that bad in plain view, how bad is it where it will be expensive to reach on the trailer?

I used the Featherlite trailers for the cars in the past and that idea of the converted stock/horse is interesting.
Maybe I should clarify a little
Lookin for 30+ foot
prefer lower profile(wind)
4 season
Gooseneck/fifth wheel
upper end finishing
and upper end is very tough.I was at the big RV show here a few weeks back,they dont make low profile high end 5th wheels..

I like my 38CK Next Level, nice thing is that it's a fifith wheel and I can still keep my lift... just needed to drop the back 2", highest bed rail clearance of the market.

You will be better off with something built as a trailer. Featherlight, Dominator, Along with towing and hauling a load better the have much better resale.

We have been really happy with our Alfa. and have had no complaints. Looking to go either Pusher or toter, just not sure exactly what will suit our needs. but the 40 trailer and FL60 is just a lot of rig to drive around.

Get teh layout that you like the best. All the brands are a POS when it really comes down to the construction. Some have ones that never have problems and others that always have problems. Im on my second Sandpiper and have never had a problem with either. Ive heard nightmares about forrest river though. Same thing with ww. Iev got 4 friends with them, 3 of them had the rear beds fall out of the roof and one has never had any problems. The gearbox's seem to tongue heavy, in the beginning they had to add weight to keep the trailer from getting wobbly going down the road so you will notice alot of gearboxes that dont look level (tonguepulls). Next Levels are very nice. The one thing I like about ww is that they will custom make one for you, im thinking about trading in my 2 mo old 39 sandpiper for a 45 full throttle WW so that I can have 4 slides, and a garage deep enough for the rail (we have not bought yet). Most of them you look into will have the same appliances (dometic) and same brands of hinges, microwaves, etc... The differences mostly are layouts, and fiberglass layups. If you can afford to get one with the 5500 marquis gen then go that way. They are much quiter than the older gens and have a higher output so you can run the tv, microwave and both ac's at the same time.

With the 6" beam and flipped axles off road is not an issue!
