Shasta Airflyte or Forest River Retro?

[SamRoc]

We have been looking at both the Shasta Airflyte 19 or the Forest River 176S. Love the Shasta since they reproduced the early model and someone we know is selling the 19. But the Forest River has a slide which we like also, but don't like the fact the bed is down all of the time. Don't want anything too big. Just myself and DH will be traveling. Is anyone familiar with either? Thanks!

Go to iRV2.com and go to the trailer section. There will be many more people with trailer experience there, and they love to help.

Thank you!

Samroc,

It might help if you told us a few basics about lengths, weights, and the tow vehicle you have. I know we can Google some of it but putting it here will help others in a similar situation.

Some we can guess like the 19 is 19 feet, the 176 is 17 feet, but let us know.

Hi Bama Ed for years we owned a Winnebago and sold it then started to rent, I really like the look of the retro travel trailers, . Nothing more than 20 feet is fine, Dh has a ford f 150. I think the Shasta 16 might be too small for us but we do like the slide in the Forest River retro, I don't know anyone that owns either of these brands so I figured I'd ask here, it seems like there's three companies that came out with the Retro trailer again which I really like. We already have our site booked for next year! Thanks!
