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.
What we checked
Not checked against public records
Towable trailers are in NHTSA’s database and we intend to use it. We have not switched it on yet because recall notices name sub-brands and floorplans rather than the model we key on, and folding them in carelessly would put another trailer’s recall on this page. What follows is our own write-up, and it has not been reconciled against an official record. Treat it as a starting point, not a verdict.
