Narrowing our choices for a bunkhouse unit. Still need to see the KZ's but are really impressed with the Jayco WhiteHawk and the Sunset Trail ST290QB. We actually had narrowed the Jayco's to the WhiteHawk and went back to peek and see if we wanted to make the trek to see any KZ's, the salesman showed us the Sunset trail and we were really impressed, we had not seen that brand yet. The original Jayco dealer had not mentioned it when we had previously been on the lot. Now we are torn. No 2 yr warranty but it had the vinyl/faux leather interior which I liked since it can be wiped. The ceiling is slightly domed giving more head room (although I hear the 2014 Jayco is domed as well. There are extra windows on the dinette slide which lets tons more light in, the bathroom shower is MUCH nicer, you gain an outside kitchen and most importantly the kids essentially get a room, they have a door and 2 larger than single bunks on one side then a little dinette with a standard single that folds up over the top. There is a spot for a TV which is appealing. It was really nice. We like the reputation and warranty of the Jayco. It's the same dealer for both. Weights are almost equal so that is not a factor - ~5800# on the lot as is. The Jayco has a CC of 2210# and the Sunset is at 1627#. The Jayco has the double size bunks for the kids, microfiber fabric, outside bathroom door. Layouts are really similar.
So - which between these is preferred and why??? I don't know much about the Sunset brand and was advised in another forum to come directly here to see what owners had to say - it was a tad cryptic in that I got the sense of "issues" with warranties, etc. - obviously making us nervous!!!!
The finishing seemed nice, etc. Just making sure it's not just beautiful finishes - know what I mean! The idea of having a separate room for the kids is VERY appealing - so is the wood door if we want to be up late, etc. I want to get something that will last and it is a big investment - the Sunset was actually a little more money but we are OK with that.
Curious to hear what people say!!!Especially if anyone actually owns this unit and can speak to the kid area.</td></tr></t></table></td></tr></t></table></td></tr></t></table></td></tr></t></table></span>
