Lightbulb Which Model of TT?????

We've decided to get rid of our 5ver and go to a TT. Was looking on line and was overwhelmed by all the models. Can anyone tell me which model has the higher end interior like corian conters and leather type seating? Just wondering.
Thanks

Features in every model change from year to year. It "used to be" that corian, etc were only in the "upper end" models (meaning more money) but recently those kinds of additions have been showing up in the "medium price range" however (there's always a catch isn't there) with the recent thrust in reducing weight, some "standard perks" are being eliminated even on some higher end models to reduce weight.

So, as things change, it's a "turkey shoot" as to whether a specific model will have the "high end" features you're interested in. And, there's no "guarantee" that next year's model of the same trailer will have those features. Pretty much, it's "do your research, but dont pay your money" until you're sure it's what you expected it to be. There are a number of reports on this forum of people looking at one model on the lot, ordering the same RV and when it arrives, it's missing the feature they specifically wanted, but in a different color.

Additionally, there was a recent discussion on the "cheapness" of all RV interior furniture and finishings. It seems that even in some of the "high end" models, the same "inexpensive" furniture is being installed, sometimes with a better grade covering, sometimes, not even that is different.

And, what used to be "entry level, mid range and High end", or "affordable, mid priced and expensive" RV's has been "changed by Keystone" to "standard, select, premium and Luxury"

Illusions

I've also seen a lot of things 'look-a-like' or laminated to give the appearance of higher end materials, but offering lower total weight.

The benefits of a lighter TT/5'er with the appearances of luxury features offer fuel economy, ride comfort, and versatility.

These compromises may or may not interest you; but you may have to look pretty hard in some cases to notice. IMO
