Pick the Dutchmen Aspen Trail Destination 391LOFT if…
Pick the Dutchmen Aspen Trail Destination 391LOFT if you keep your trailer on a seasonal site and want a vacation home with two sleeping zones. The loft layout sleeps 8 vs the Open Range's 6, the 14,000 lb GVWR gives 2,774 lbs of cargo for long-term living, and 84 gal of grey capacity handles a week of unhooked drains. The 41'9" length fits destination resorts but isn't a state-park rig. Buyers comfortable hooking up at the seasonal site won't miss the Open Range's solar and inverter package.
Pick the Highland Ridge Open Range 335RBS if…
Pick the Highland Ridge Open Range 335RBS if you want to move the rig more than once a season, camp in shoulder seasons, and want a content-loaded king-bed layout. The 200W solar plus 1,800W inverter, four-season insulation, residential fridge, and off-road suspension address scenarios the Aspen Trail Destination doesn't. At $81,780, the Open Range 335RBS is $917 less than the Aspen Trail Destination and gives up only two sleeping spots and 27 inches of length. Couples or small families who want feature density over loft capacity should pick this one.
