2018 Forest River Grey Wolf 20RDSE or 2015 Skyline Dart 21BH?

Guys my husband and I torn on these 2 campers. We were dead set on a Wolf Pup 18TO but my husband wants a trailer with 2 axels and these are the 2 we have narrowed down to. This will be our first camper. We are pulling with an 08 Dodge Ram 1500 Hemi, rated to tow 8000lbs.

Which is the best?

I would choose a new model with factory warranty vs a 3 year old model with no warranty.
If the prices are similar.

I know nothing about Skyline trailers and rarely see any mention of them on RV forums.

The Grey Wolf Has a year warranty, and 12 on the roof I think, the skyline is out of warranty but has same roof warranty and wouldn't quality outlast the warranty for long term?
We are not buying from our local dealer anyway and I have heard getting anything warrantied under your dealer unless you purchased from them that they don't do it or push you back or don't do it at all.

the Gray Wolf, if new, comes with a 1 year factory warranty and an 2nd year factory warranty for $150.

whatever warranties are left in the Skyline, are only good for original owner and not transferable.

We bought our Rockwood Roo from a dealer 2000 miles away.
FR found us 3 local dealers that would do the warranty work.
never had any issues other than knowing we wouldn't be in the front of the line.
plus we could use independent RV shops. you just have to be willing to be reimbursed.

My brother pulls a Grey Wolf 26DBH with a 1/2 ton truck with no problem at all. You should be fine on truck. I know nothing about a Skyline, but I do like my brother's Grey Wolf. This is his first RV, also.

does anyone own the grey wolf 20rdse?

We have had two skylines. All I can say is one was taken back because of bad glue on pipes which lead to black mold. We are now in the process of getting rid of your replacement one. Five years is long enough. Skyline quality left a lot to be desired but again none of the campers are perfect.
