We owned a 2007 Alumascape...a step down from Presidential. We had so many problems with it, it was gone in 10 months. Cabinets came loose from the wall, leaks, slide motors kept breaking and the last straw was the rear axle ripped off the frame while backing into a site.
Think they went down hill alot sooner than 2009...JMHO.
Wow, guess it goes to show that I've yet seen a manufacturer make all their rv's perfectly. Sort of found that out just over the years I've been on this forum..Some of the most expensive higher end 5er's even have had issues. I've never had any of the above issues, and Lord willing, I won't..never had a leak, axles still in place, no irregular tire wear, Mine will be 8 years old and again, is in almost as good a shape as the day I purchased it....guess we've really been fortunate.
to the OP, I would say it would be hard to "guess" what year they started making "less quality" 5er"...seeing as how, over the years, even the best manufacturers will make a bad one every once in a while....
If you like it and it checks out good, buy it...if you have doubts, walk away from it.
