2012 Dutchman Voltage Review Before buying my RV I did heavy research on the web so I thought I would add my review for others to do the same. I purchased my Voltage 3905 new at General RV in Feb. 2...

I would say I got a good one, but I have had problems, but none weren't anything I couldn't take care of. I did a thorough PDI and had a few things fixed on the spot and the dealer ordered a couple things I found on the PDI. After our first trip, it went to the dealer for a week. One of the gutter extensions was missing, and the big one was the rear awning fell off the first time we used it. That was about it.
On subsequent trips, the WFCO water pump and transfer switch croaked. I removed them and took them to the dealer and they tested them and gave me credit for new ones. I then upgraded both to US made versions. The tires were******and I replaced those with G rated tires.
We just spent two months in it and the only problem was the screw heads popping off on the slides. The screws seem to shear where they go into the steel structure and I think it it caused by the slide motors pushing the slide up tight against the trailer when we close them. I replaced about 50 screws in total with stainless steel screws and recaulked the seams. Gotta remember that we have put over 8K miles on it and spent a total of 4 months living in it though. IMO, these things are always going to have problems and you have to spend a little time getting them right. Expecting perfection on something this big and complicated at this price point is a lost cause.
There are RV manufactures that offer lifetime warranties, but you have to write a check in the deep 7 digits.
