The Jayco I have seen in person and well sorta like because of the air conditioning option and has hot water heater. I have not seen the 1999 flagstaff but like what I did see on the website looks real nice and that has been garage stored. Between the two I can not decide?

The water heater would be apx a $250 option to add and the air conditioner would run about $500 if you DIY'd it. So the Jayco has apx $750 of options for a hundred dollars less and a year newer.
The only options shown on the Rockwood that the Jayco didn't have was the screen room as IIRC Jayco's all came with a Jayco built awning. At least all I've owned or seen in parks or at leaders did.

Jayco all the way. I had a 2005 Rockwood (flagstaff clone), built like junk. I'll never own another Forest River product ever.

Just my experience.

Have a good one.

Ok heres the Flagstaff link

TQOTORS:1123">http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayIS........tical-align: middle" alt="" />OTORS:1123

And the Jayco

http://www.rvtraderonline.com/find/listing/2000-Jayco-Jayco-Qwest-93624630

What I don't like about the Jayco is the seating and the insides has its wears comes with bonuses like the hot water, faucet, microwave and air conditioner. They are going to make the decision if I go with the Jayco. There are little things like I need two poles for the awning to buy that aren't there. On one side the curtains strings are broke and held with clips. Refrigerator is really dirty.

With the Flagstaff now I am looking at it today sometime. In the pictures seems real clean and I love the seating arraignments rap around the refrigerator looks really clean from the pic and the table style I like. Has storage in the front is nice. Been garage stored.
Just over all seems like it was gently used. Oh and this one has a screened in room.

So I don't know, it's a toss up. I can always get a air conditioner next year if I was to get the Flagstaff. How important is a water heater in the Jayco? Microwave its a 50/50 for me.

With that all said hope someone can help me more less make my decision for me lol. I cant believe I am making it this hard!

I'm sure both trailers would be nice. The Forest river has nice seating, but hot water and AC are really nice. Jayco makes a good product, but this floor plan is not 100% what you like.

Why don't you check Craigs list and other local sources and keep looking for "your perfect PUP"

If you are not 100% ready to jump on one of these then wait, other PUPS will come along!

If I put a down payment on the Jayco does that mean I would have to buy it?
