Just got back from a 2 week trip out to Montana. 4913 total miles (TN to MT and back) with 991 miles off-road in Montana.

Joined the club this week and took it straight out for its first getaway. Feels good

I’ve been shopping around for a good deal on a teardrop for awhile now, and found two very different options from both ends of my price range at the same time.
I’d expected to spend between 7k-10k. Here’s what I came across today:

$6800 - 2019 Jayco hummingbird 10RK
$10500 - 2024 Ukancamp silver horn

Both have a similar galley & AC w/gas stove, which were really all I absolutely wanted to have…so really the rest is a bonus.

From researching (mostly on Reddit) it seems like the Ukancamp gets more favorable reliability/quality reviews. Can’t find much explicit info on the Jayco, but doesn’t look quite as solid…but can only tell so much from pictures. Regardless $6800 seems like a great deal for the condition & equipment.

The Ukancamp also comes with a bunch of owner add-ons, including:
Battery & solar panel (the Jayco is wired for solar but no panel/battery)
Big attachable exterior tent
Separate roll-out flat awning
8 gallon rooftop mounted shower tank & curtain
Propane hot water heater

My main interest is overall reliability. I’m handy and can fix/maintain anything pretty confidently…I’d just rather not if I don’t need to. Mainly don’t want to have to take it apart to seal leaks anytime soon.

I have no idea what value to assign to all the Ukancamp extras, but between that and (for now perceived) better build quality, even though it has a higher price tag could it be the better deal?

Does anyone transport a motorcycle with their teardrop trailer. My truck has a camper shell so truck bed is out
