The first trailer the wife and I purchased used from a fellow camper.
Outside looked amazing for a 17 year old camper. The inside looked amazing too.
Few updates he had done but since his kids had grown no longer needed. He gave us a great deal and we took it.
Got it home and started to get it ready. Wife went to put some stuff in a floor cabinet and when she got up pushed her hand down on the floor and went right through.
Wood construction once we peeled it all back to see what needed to be done 1/2 of the 37' trailer needed work. Needless to say no camping for us.
Our second and third camper are all aluminum welded, have not had any major issues.
On the fifth wheel we noticed a slight crack in the fiberglass near the over hang while in the middle of one of our trips by the time we got home it was about 3 inches.
Warranty covered it but was told it was a flaw and the company knew about it.
Short time after that the front shell faded and the molding began to move.
Again all warranty work but it was a trailer that was a year old.
