Hey!!!
Just eye-balled a Frontier Explorer in camp the last couple of days. We really like it.
We went to their website but could not find info on GVWR and other specs.
We would like some feed back on whether or not it's a good TT or not.
Also, what price range are we looking at?
thanks!!!

I have a 2006 T265 and have not had any real problems. We've camped about 40 days over the last year and just minor issues...toilet seal, black tank gasket...all under warranty. It tows easily. Fully loaded ( and believe me, it's fully loaded ) the weight is around 6400 lbs. I was concerned about quality when we were looking but we decided to take a chance because the price was right. We have not regretted buying the Explorer by Frontier.

We've got an 05 T265. We're very pleased with it.
I do know they've made some changes with the 08 such as smaller tires and frame on the non-slide trailers as opposed to the slide out trailers. I think they're a great unit for the money and they've got some great features we're now spoiled to such as large tanks and tinted windows.
I think the GVWR for most of them should be a round 7700 lbs.

The DW and I have had our 2004 Explorer T250 for about 2 ½ years now and we still love it. The only real problem that we have had was that when I was replacing the fresh water fill hose I found that 3 of the 4 welds that hold the freshwater tank had broken. That was before the first trip this year. I beefed up the angle iron that holds the tank and alls well now. We do not carry water when traveling. Other than that we love the layout and for the price it well worth the money. We also replace the camper mattress with a standard queen size with a 4 inch memory foam topper. I removed the booth and up in a round table with chairs.
Two thumbs UP and two from the DW also.

Prices should be similar to Jayco JayFlight line. Non Slide units will be around 12 - 14,000 - Slide out models should be $15,000 and up.
