2018 InTech Flyer Discover 27FQS — Should You Buy One?
Typical asking price: $28,000–$42,000. This is one of the more reliable vehicles in its class — here's what to watch for anyway.
Kestrel Take
InTech builds all-aluminum frame travel trailers — no wood framing means no rot, period. The Flyer Discover is a premium lightweight trailer that holds up to the no-rot promise. At 7 years old, the mechanical systems need attention but the structure is likely fine.
