They both look really nice. Why does the Wilderness have a salvage title?

We don't have a 5th wheel but my brother does and he loves it. We have a Winnebago Adventurer that we have been toying with selling and down-sizing. It's nice with very, very low milage so something to think about!!!!

But the 5th wheels are very nice also.

Damage to the front end, I think the truck backed into the front of the RV.

I wonder why they would salvage it?? That doesn't sound like enough damage to salvage!

My advice is if your hubby is handy, then go for the less expensive one - the pix don't seem to be that much different.

But if there really is a lot of difference in the interior, then go with the one you like the best. If you plan to spend much time in it, then go with the one with most storage - you won't regret that!

Thanks, I think I will go with the newer one just because I have this feeling about the salvage title and I have learned that you go with your feelings. I am a true believer that you get what you pay for. I have been burned too many times on bargans. We had a salvage title car once and it turned out to be a nightmare and we lost a lot of money on it when in the begining it seemed like a great deal. My husband bought a dozer a few years ago that was "too good of a deal to pass up" even though he had this funny feeling about it he bought it anyway-big mistake.

I actually like the layout of the wilderness better. We had a 2001 wilderness I think it was 34 ft. we traded it in for a (new at the time) 2006 Pilgrim Open Road.35.ft 3 slides.You really want to find one with three sides.Making the bed can be a you know what!
What about having the wilderness checked out by a RV specialist and get their Opinion on it?
I would really stay away from 2 slides though.

Buddy-licious · 09-22-2007, 10:04 AM

I like the first one better. I like the neutral colors. Ours is all neutral colors. We also have three slides which makes it nice when making the bed.
Best of luck on your new purchase!!!!

Also,What kind of truck will you be pulling with? Make sure it can handle the weight of the 36 ft.

genie · 09-22-2007, 11:20 AM

The newer one that we are looking at with 2 slides has one of the slides in the bedroom so there are alot of room around the bed. We have a big truck a 3500 Dodge dually so that shouldn't be a problem. I might be jumping the gun but I made reservations to stay at Disney World camp ground next month....I am so excited.
