Why did we buy a new trailer? I was spending a lot of time looking for a used trailer that would fit our needs. We really need one with slide outs to fit our dogs and us. I was looking at a lot of trailers online and watching videos to learn as much as I could about trailers. The thing that scarred me was to buy a used trailer and then next year when we are headed far from home to run into problems. Like a car/truck I was also worried about other peoples hidden problems rearing their ugly heads at the worst time. So I found a 2017 (last years model) StarCraft Autumn Ridge 28QBS that was discounted for sale. Kathy and I went and looked at the trailer and decided it was the one.
