I'm looking at 2 TT that are the same basic layout and price. I was wondering if anyone had experience with one or both of these:

Flagstaff 29BHKD

and

Jayco White Hawk 29SQB


Or for about another $800, and 1000 lbs...

Keystone Laredo 291TG


Any information is greatly appreciated!

Both of them are of similar quality, so you basically need to find out who will be doing your service/warranty work, make sure you like them and purchase that one. There is no really big difference in them other than basic decor and stuff like that. Good luck on whichever one you choose.


I will add that I have a Forest River product (Rockwood) that I have been extremely pleased with since 2007.

I agree, all things equal they are a toss-up

You did not say whether you had any children. If you do, the Flagstaff you are considering will sleep up to 5 children while the Jayco will sleep 1 or 2 comfortably.

I like the Jayco floorplan the least. No pantry, small awning.
I like the 2nd/direct bath entrance of the Flagstaff.
I like the Laredo's larger front queen bed (since I'm 6'4" tall).

I like the outside entrance and bit bigger bathroom for the Flagstaff, but with that many people, I think you will like the U-Shaped dinette if it is raining and you have to eat in the trailer.

I like the Laredo better because it has the sink "away" from the sofa. Think it's stupid to have sofa so close to an area that is prone to splashing of liquids. Also, I like the sliding doors for the master bedroom, not folding doors or curtains. U shaped dinette would be nice with that many folks in the rig.

With five kids, I'd go with the Laredo.

What's your tow vehicle??
