I saw the 26RLS with 1 slide, and recliner chairs along with a couch. I personally dont camp to stay inside and watch TV/Movies however mother nature is in charge.
I assume trading after 3 years is a losing effort but am curious if others have done it, and have any tips or reccomendations for us.
Thanks in advance!

No doubt, the 26RLS's slide is going to make a big difference in terms of functional, livable space. However, must mention you did say you enjoyed your 23RB for almost 3 years before this bad storm apparently forced your hand. Any chance you can forgive your 23RB this one time?
If you decide not to forgive, odds are, you are going to take a steep depreciation hit. The first 2 or 3 years are the worst, after that it tends to level off a bit. How much of a hit, is a matter of timing and luck. Doesn't cost anything to ask what a dealer will give you on trade-in, but, be forewarned, the answer will probably sting a little. We sold our last two trailers within a week on Craigslist. Got great deals on both new, but still took a somewhat painful loss on both. Selling anything takes a lot of patience. Be prepared to deal with tire-kickers and ridiculous low-ball offers. Not everyone is up for it. Everybody's comfort level with their patience, time, and money, vary.
Good luck!
