well not much help here, other then the rv consumer info. I have a 2005 FR sandpiper, broke a gear for the slide the first year, nothing since. We hav been out west twice with it, one trip 7000 miles, and tons of inner state camping and 2-3 state camping. My brother bought a 2005 sunnybrook, numerous slide motor and gear problems, matter of fact he has some spare parts for sale, he upgraded to a 2012 DS $133000.00 for it, been down to Howe 4 times, and once to TN where he bought it, just got back for a slide problem. With that said I have been very lucky with my sandpiper, I believe in, you can get a POS in any brand. But thanks for the consumers info.
