Location: pensacola, fl | I have the opportunity to buy a 1998 Sundowner Seista 8' short wall for $18,000 I have checked the prices on here HTW and the are going for around $25,000. It is a nice trailer with lots of extras that I don't have in my 1999 Exiss w/4' short wall. I LOVE MY EXISS!! and it has been kept up a lot better than this sundowner and although it doesn't have everything the Sundowner does it is a lot better quality living quarters (soild Pine cabinets and paneling) than the sundowner(Partical board), but I could realy use the extra room this trailer has to offer.
Ugh!! Decisions, Decisions!! |

| Yes,I agree.When you trade,be sure you can live with the tradeoffs that come with every trade in.If I didnt love it,and it wasn't just what I wanted,I wouldn't trade down.You can find what you want,just hold on,and keep looking. |

Location: pensacola, fl | Thanks for your opinions!! That helps a lot!! I am going to look at the Sundowner 1 more time today. I think I am gonna take my trailer with me and just compare the 2 side by side. I know that sounds crazy, but when I go look at the sundowner I see all the extra room, but when I come home to my exiss, I see a better quality (kept) living quarters. |

Location: Western WA | If it were me, I'd pick more room over cabinet quality. There is a big difference between a 4' shortwall and an 8' shortwall and that seems like a really good price. You could compromise and have it looked over by an RV place to get a to-do list and then weigh out of the price is balances out needed repairs or maintenance. |
