The hubs & I have been researching FW trailers for some weeks now. We plan to buy one sometime next year due to our need to make some preparations first. We plan to attend the big show they put on in January down in the Tampa area. We had a Dutchmen FW some years back for several years that we never moved but utilized as a vacation spot when visiting the Hiawassee/Hayesville area in NC, so we are somewhat accustomed to camping. We are looking at really retiring within the next few years & we want to see the country before it's all over. Don't know just yet if we'll ever full-time it but I know this much......going for one of the top of the line used seems to be the way to go, from what I have learned lurking in here & in other RV forums. We were considering Keystone units but I have doubts about that now, leaning more towards DRV or Excel.

Welcome to the RV Dreams forums.  You will find it to be a good source of information as well as encouragement from the other participants.  They are also helpful and friendly.

If you go to looking at used DRV's check out Rolling Retreats in Elk City, Oklahoma.  If worse comes to worse, they may very well deliver anywhere in the continental U.S.  They are a true "mom and pop" dealership with only Alicia and Slade as the employees and owners.  They began buying used DRV's at auction after being repossessed and then going through them cleaning and checking all the systems.  Now, they are full DRV dealer and do a lot of trading.  Right at the moment, they don't have many used ones, but keep checking their site.

Adding our welcome. Sounds like you're making an intelligent choice. I'd also add a Heartland Landmark to your search criteria or if you will have a really big truck, a New Horizons!

ps, I'm well aware I may get shot down on that really big truck comment!
