Joe; if yours is not giving you major issues; it's a keeper! I'd think long and hard before moving up just for the sake of the new smell or a couple of options that you've been quite happily been doing without to date.

JMHO; but applying a reasonable amount of maintenance costs to keep a rig in acceptable shape is a "no brainer" compared to taking dleivery of a new one and taking that depreciation hit upon delivery AND coping with a market that is continuing to falter regardless of what some folks would suggest.

Your trailer's paid for? Keep the thing and go down the road content with the knowledge that should some unforeseen event like a little fracas with Iran drive the cost of diesel up the ying-yang having a very negative effect on those owners who are making payments PLUS trying to put fuel in the truck isn't going to make or break your travel habits.

Sleeping on a new matress is as easy as replacing the matress, the framwork underneath won't change your nights sleep.
