TRAVEL TRAILER

[BigT]

Looking for a little help here-- I am looking at purchasing a travel trailer for year round use. Although it will be used often in spring, summer and fall, my big concern is getting one that can handle the winter for sled trips. I live in the pacific NW and mainly sled in WA however OR and ID aren't out of the possibility. I haven't taken longer trips but suspect that if I did we would likely motel it.
There are so many trailers out there and all have their pro's and con's. My main question is--is there anything that I should stay away from. We are looking at about 25-28'. Somewhat looking at a Keystone Hideout, Dutchman Kodiak, Prime Time Tracer and a Keystone Cougar. Any red flags with this list?
Any help is appreciated--thanks

I am an RV tech in Michigan. There is no true four season coach. Especially in the size you are looking for. As long as you don't use the water system you will be fine. Over here the salt they use on the roads would destroy it from the bottom out. That's why I don't use my Motor home for sledding. It would be great though. Just my 2 cents. As far as what you are looking at. The cougar is not a bad way to go. I hate all rv's equally though. been doing to long. lol

Big T, I have a 33ft three axle,bumper tow, Raptor toy hauler.
Works great for dry camping with the atv's
in the summer.
I have dry camped in the winter with my sled,had no freezing issues. All the pumping is in the coach,just left the heat on. With the generator running it keeps the bottom warm.

This works awesome. Hydraulic sled deck is the only way to go.

Cougars are nice, we have a 26' Jayco Jay Feather and no way would I winter camp with it. Look for an Arctic Fox or a Triple E Roughneck.
