RV Show: Stick trailers in MN

[daniel108]

We went to the Portland RV show just a few weeks before we were due to pick up our 21c (this was a couple years ago). We had fun checking out all the massive Class A's and 5th wheels, with their multiple TV's and fireplaces, multiple slide outs, etc. There was little or nothing there that was comparable to what I was really interested in buying. I was a bit worried that after seeing these massive units the family would feel underwhelmed with our small simple trailer that doesn't even have a radio, but they've been quite happy with it.

Your Avatar says Schwartz MN, I can not find that on Google Maps.

I don't know why people have an issue with the wet bath. So to me the pivoting wall is, meh. To me it just makes the shower more cramped.

What I noticed was that it has the problematic Suburban 2 burner cooktop.

I sold my 21C and purchased a Venture Stratus 231VRB. The 21C wasn't big enough for my wife, German Shepherd, and me. I disliked the wet bath. I found multiple construction issues with the 21C. I didn't like not having comfortable seats. The people that bought my 21C are extremely happy , especially since I fixed the construction issues.

I am happy with my Stratus. A few minor issues that I fixed. Plenty of room. Nice reclining theater seats.

Sorry. I fixed that! I’m in Minnetonka.

Fortunately our Shoji is 12 Lb Shih Tzu. A bit of a bed hog though. I think the our upcoming 21C size will work for us but those new theater seats are quite comfortable.

The floor plan on your Stratus was the one we liked best and were planning that direction until a friend told us about Escape.

I'm not expecting perfection, it's a travel trailer, but hopefully there won't be too many issues to fix.
