I think RD's neighbor in the keys owns Weekend Warrior...?

[Havasu Cig]

We have an 04 30' Weekend Warrior, What questions do you have???
I will say this up-front. If they built boats like they build trailers they would sink!!!!
Weekend Warrior is supposed to be top of the line, but some of the little things you notice make you wonder???

[Flying Tiger]

Weekend Warriors have been horror stories over on the sand forums.
Now Tahoe horror stories are poping up in threads.
Thin frame Chassis on the WW, bad cracking in critical spots, interior counters cracking,, lots of headaches, and a very bad service dept.
Blazin and Ragin are the most popular quality wise,, and if ya want to go high dollar, check out Sandtek.
Don't buy less than 30ft,, you'll wish ya did:

Warrior has a good looking rig.
But their chassis is too small a frame if you compair it to others.
A huge, colossal battle raged on the glamisdunes.com forums between the WW sales staff and buyers over the frame cracking,, and the shoddy solution WW had for it.
Plus the hassle they put their customers through to get the fix done in the first place.
If I find the thread, I'll post it. It topped any of the stuff that flys over here.

Weekend warrior are to suppose to be "top of the line" But there are many to choose from.I myself have a baja toyhauler which some consider junk but imo i have had this trailer for 2 years and have not had a prob and it suit my family fine
I suggest taking a look at different trailers and look them over see what will fit your needs as far as floor plan and options go.
wrightnow has a sierra 5th whell and it is very nice,hustler just bought a gearbox and that too is a nice trailer

I had heard that. The Sport is pretty awesome looking and has alot of option that I think I need. But let's face it the quality of any of them is weak..

I like the Weekend Warrior the best as far as looks and the way it is layed out.
It really is a good trailer, but it was delivered with some broken stuff such as blinds, and the shower leaked.
The generator was also not working properly, and had to be fixed. All this was kind of a bummer when you buy something brand new and it has problems.
Weekend Warrior has backed up the product though, and payed to have everything fixed no questions asked.
My buddy owns an RV service shop, and said the stuff we experienced were pretty typical. He even said the 200k motorhomes have the same problems. When you get up to the 400-500k range he said the quality is much better.
I would look around and see what you like. We got a killer deal on our's as well, so don't let them sell you on the sticker price. If you shop around, especially with cash in hand you can get a good deal.

[Havasu Cig]

If you end up wanting to get a Warrior, Travel On RV in Alpine is the one who hooked us up. He is a boater, or was a boater, as well. He knows Dave at DCB. He beat 10,000 RV buy 1k.

[stoker]

I have the Sierra 30' fifth wheel. I haven't had any problems with it. I shopped around for a while before I bought it. I compared the spec sheets for Sierra and Warrior. The structural members of the sierra surpasses that of the warrior. At least they did when I purchased mine. Not to mention it was 10k plus cheaper.

My brother has 03 40' footer, He loves it, he had the axles turned over and he hasn't had a single problem with it. Goes to Glamis all the time with no issues

I totally agree, I own a 30' Ragen' and love it, Have had it for three years and no major problems, very well built.Only complaint was the size of battery charger it came with, did not charge the batteries good enough.If you carry very many toys definatly go with atleast a 30', I wish mine was 32', WW I think are all hype,not impressed My 2c

I have a 2004 2124C Rage'n. I bought it at West Coast RV in Pomona. The quality is second to none, in my opinion of course. I checked out probably every single toy hauler manf. out there and came up with this one. If you have any questions or anything PM me and I will be more than happy to tell you more about my toy hauler and all the other ones I checked out.

We just bought a 32' Nomad Rampage. We shopped and did our homework for almost a year. The Rampage is the only toyhauler that is UL listed, alot of safety extras, which was important to us. It also has seperate fuel tanks for your generator & fuel station. I don't really care to run the generator on race gas, gets pretty $$$$. RageN & Blazen's are also top of the line. Weekend Warrior were the first toyhauler made., and in my opinion, need to upgrade their trailers. We rented a new 30" WW for a weekend and were very disapointed. Just my .02 cents. PM if you have any more questions.

[SoCalOffshore]

Just remember there are huge markups in Rv's. Taking 20 to 25% off sticker is not uncommon.

[DryHeatOnly]

As a few mentioned earlier, the Blazen' is a good quality trailer. They come in a 28' (tandem) & 31' (triples) box. The standard, gelcoat-painted, fiberglass vaccubond walls are strong and straight. A lot less wavey compared to other trailers (check 'em out at night). The box is framed with aluminum whereas just about all others use wood (should help towards longevity). This last reason is why I bought the 28'. Just finished the first season with it. No problems, no damage. Took it to the desert twice and to Glamis 7 times. Happy so far!
Whichever one you get, buy 2 batteries!

I just bought a 32 5th wheel, love it. Just sold my 30'. Loved that one too. No problems with either. Forrest River units ROCK!!

[bear down]

We just purchased a 21' Attitude Toy Hauler. They just came out in March '03. They are growing rapidly but you can get one fully loaded for a great price. I purchased mine from Carl's Acres of Trailers in Ontario. I paid $18,900 OTD with Hitch/sway/w.distribution/brakecontroller. The Trailer came fully loaded ( 6 speaker system, 4 interior,2 exterior, tv/dvd 13", micro/oven/fridge, 4.4 genie,106 gl. fresh..etc.) No matter where you buy this trailer they are pretty much the same price (except if you buy from McMahons RV) good luck

There's a new toy hauler on the market made by Monaco coach corp that is buy far the best out there. They use the same aluminum c channel super structure,walls, floor, and roof, that they put in there $250,000 motorhomes. And the fiberglass sides are real gelcoat.
One is called Next Level, made under thier Holiday Rambler trailer division, And the other is called Dune chaser under thier Mc Kenzie trailer division.
Look up Monaco coach Corp, its on thier website.

[bigerich]

Seeing all the different toy haulers out in the desert, it seems that almost everyone I talk with has one gripe or another about every brand. They all seem to be built like a wet cardboard box on wheels. Nothing seems to be built to take the use and abuse of being towed down dirt roads, which I would think most of them are used for. All things considered, they serve the purpose, but be extra careful with how you tow them, I think that is a main key to the long life of a toy hauler.
