It's up in the air between two campers. The 1st I already got some feedback on is a 2007 Fleetwood Pioneer 26bhs with slide.
The other is a 2004 Jayflight 27bh no slide.
I need some input on the Jayflight good and bad before I make my choice. Both are in perfect cond. Jayflight is $3500 cheaper.

My .02 cents, I think I'd go for the one with the slide. I have a Jayco motorhome and think their quality is as good as anyone else's but for resale and your own comfort I think I'd go with the slide. We have 2 and it really makes it a more liveable unit.

I just bought a new 2008 Jayco TT. 32' with 2 slides and we love it, but I have to say, if I was in your situation, I would pick the one with the slideout. HAving a slideout makes a huge difference.

I have a Jayco and love it, with the slide. I couldn't see not having that extra space either.
safe travels,

I would take the Pioneer. It is 3 years newer and it has a slide. Good luck in your choice!

I have family & friends that have slides and love the extra room, but we are only "inside" the TT to pretty much get something out of the fridge or to sleep. My opinion is, your decision should be based on how you are going to use it.

I would prefer a Jayco over a fleetwood, a slide over a non-slide, and does the 3 years older one show more wear, etc? what is the roof construction, one TPO and one rubber?

The Jayflight would be prefferred over the Pioneer, but without a slide I think I would go Pioneer.

Dont know much about either but I know I wouldnt buy a TT without at least ONE slide. Go with the slide, you'll be glad you did... With that being said the one with the slide will probably be heavier, dunno about your TV...

The Pioneer was only used 4 times then the owner traded it in for a 5th. Looks like new in and out. Still has plastic over the slide rug area can get it for $13500. The Jayco is super clean in and out and is under $10K with 1yr warranty. Pioneer has no warranty but comes with Reese dual cam.
