Re:Question about a trailer

VPI: What year is the trailer, and approximately how many miles has it been towed?

Re:Question about a trailer

I think the prowler is Fleetwoods entry level trailer. Decent trailer. Features seem pretty standard. What year is it and what floorplan?

Weather permitting I will be outside working on jeeps all day. Just down the road if you want to come by and see a 5th wheel and talk about campers in general. PM me for directions if you want.

Re:Question about a trailer

I think that is way too much for a 5-6 year old tralier. Right now is a very good time to buy a new trailer, 03 or 04 they are really trying to sell these units now. In my area (cincinnati, Ohio) they have great deals. Most of the good deals are in Elkhart Indiana, where most trailers are manufactured. They have a Coachman, Spirit of america 24' tt air all the std stuff, choise of three floor plans brand new for 8995.00, you can not beat that price.

Tom,
Go to NADA.com and you can get market price for it. 9 sounds just a tad high for a Fleetwood.
