A little history first. We bought a Campsite 16BHB back in Oct of 2017 brand new. We love our little trailer, it has treated us well this past year. But we knew that down the road we would like to go just a little bigger. Our plan was to eventually graduate to the 21BHS but then Livin' Lite got shut down. We believed in this company and the product they delivered. I know from reading other posts the 2017 to 2018 models, are not quite up to par with the previous years. But our 2017 had no issues. We were disappointed to hear their doors were closing and thus began our search for something that would be just as well made and held to a higher standard.
We have found our new trailer and will trade in our 16BHB for the newer bigger unit. But we wanted to share with you what dealers were telling us about our 16BHB in case there are other CampLite Owners out there looking to trade/sell within the next year or so.
Over the last few months we decided it was time to upgrade, and in doing so we learned from Dealers (In FL, NC, NJ and SC, all over the east coast) our Trailer is now considered an "Orphan" because Livin' Lite no longer exist. These dealers told us this information off the cuff, telling us this information and suggesting that even if we do not buy from them that it would be in our best interests to do the trade with a dealer (any) as soon as possible. That if we don't do a deal now with trade or sell it out right, another year or 2 out the RV Consumer out there will never ever have heard about Livin' Lite or that they even existed. Being that these are rare to find to begin with it would become an RV that would be hard to sell out right and the value of the camper would be in the tank on trade-in value.
Just wanted to share.
