campers
Hello, I am torn between a 2018 grey wolf 26bhse and a catalina sbx 261bh. They are the exact same floor plan with minimal differences. For instance on the newer models the grey wolves have upgrade their outside step, gotten ride of the storage door on the driver side so there is no pass through storage anymore, and made it where the shelf that used to be above the queen bed in the front is enclosed now. I just do not know about the removal of the pass through storage. Anyways, what I am really looking for is to find out which is basically the better camper. The grey wolf salesman said the grey wolf is superior to the catalina, but he is a salesman. They are comparable in price too. The other factor is the business that sales the grey wolves has had several less than stellar reviews online, and the catalina dealer has nothing but positive feedback. I have tried searching online for reviews, but have had no luck. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!!

I do not have experience with either model but some other members will be along soon.
You can also start a new post with the title "grey wolf 26bhse vs. catalina sbx 261bh." for more exposure.

Welcome from Arkansas. I would 1st(assuming) check the capacity of your tow vehicle and confirm your weights and it will make your whole experience better.
