I'm a new member to this forum but not new to camping and camping forums. DW and I are considering a move from our current 2010 Rockwood Roo 23SS hybrid to a TT and we are looking at a used 2012 Outback 250RS, I'd like to get some feedback from owners of the 250RS on how it's built (i.e. quality) and how it works for them as a family.
My wife and I have 3 teenage boys who are camping with us now but that is expected to change in the next year or 2 as they get older and get summer jobs, so we're looking for a trailer that can accommodate them on a part-time basis while being suitable for us as a couples trailer for several week long trips and weekends throughout the summer up here in Ontario, Canada.
We're considering moving from the hybrid Roo because we're starting to do more travelling with the trailer and need something as a "mobile motel room" rather than a camper that will sit in a campground for a week or two, and we think it will be easier to setup and take down something without the tent ends - our 2010 Roo has the bungee cords to secure the tent ends, plus pop-up gizmos.
We had been considering a regular TT rather than an expandable like the 250RS but our driveway can only accommodate a 28' or 29' trailer and all the floorplans we like are at least 31' long so I can't park them in the driveway to winterize, de-winterize and maintain the trailer.
Any comments on the Outback and suggestions for other floorplans, etc. would be greatly appreciated!
