Salem vs. Hornet?
Hi, we are looking at travel trailers for use as a seasonal camper. We have looked at just about every brand name out there.... Rockwood, Flagstaff, Heartland, Salem, & Keystone products. (we have looked at Jayco in the past).
We've narrowed it down between a new 2011 Salem 28RLS and a new 2010 Hornet 28RLS. It seems to be that you get a TON more standard options on the Hornet than you do on the Salem. We also like the real wood cabinet doors & drawers, electric awning and night shades.... not to mention the porcelain toilet! We also would prefer to spend under $20K as this is our budget since we have to pay the seasonal fee each year.
We'd love to hear your input on buying a "stick & tin" camper vs. a fiberglass sided camper for use as a seasonal. Both of these campers are stick & tin. We do see a lot of stick & tin campers at the campground we are planning on putting down roots. We do not plan on towing the camper, we will actually need to have it delivered, so weight is not an issue.
We notice the sides of the slideout have bulging give in each of these 2 models. The material does not seem to be adhered to the wood of the slideout. Is this normal or a concern?
Any pros / cons on either camper would be appreciated. Thanks for your help!
