2018/2019 Eclipse Attitude 28SAG - Your Thoughts?

The DW and I are moving from our Outfitter Apex8 Camper to a 5th toy hauler. We really like the Attitude 28SAG for the layout, features and general look of quality. I'm looking for ACTUAL experience with Eclipse Attitude as far as overall quality, general build engineering and other things that are note worthy. Also, is there any reason to STAY AWAY from Eclipse? I'm sure everyone has a story but...

Any help we can get is worth it. Thanks in advance.
  • We checked out a couple Attitudes at SX last weekend, pretty cool features like LED lighting in counter edge and around windows.
  • I have a 2015 with sofa slideout. Biggest issue I have had which a lot of others have had as well is after doing an axle flip large cracks developed in the frame between the axles. Lippert took reaponsibility and paid to have mine repaired/beefed up. My understanding is that last year they made some frame changes to address this problem. Believe the trailer now also comes from the factory with spring over axle flip like it should be.

    I would say the overall build quality is inline with the rest of the industry. Sometimes you luck out and get a good one and sometimes you dont. The biggest thing I like about the trailer is its overall size/weight combined with lots of garage space. Trailer tows very nicey behind any 3/4 ton.
  • I own a 2018 Eclipse 28SAG. I've had issues and my cousin has a 15 with a lot less issues. I think whatever make or model you buy, you will have issues. The Dealer is going to tell you everything you want to hear to convince you otherwise. PM me if you have specific questions on the unit.
