Noticed these are from 2006. I'm sure a lot has changed since then.

Basically, not much, just the electronics is 21st century.

We traded in our 2012 Denali in Aug. While we owned it we found a wealth of information on the Dutchmen owners forum. I would direct you there. As with any purchase-important to do your homework!

I have searched the forum and didn't come up with much. That's why I posted here, trying to do my homework. There is a lot of difference between a 2006 trailer and a 2014.

One thing has changed I think, doesn't Keystone own them now?

We had a 2010 Denali rear kitchen and liked it very much, except. After owning it for about 8 months, the floor developed a noticeable hump or warping. We took it to a local dealer and they had to take a bunch of pictures for the manufacturer to determine how to fix the problem. Their solution was to cut the vinyl flooring at the edges of the furniture and pull it off the bad area. They then cut a square out of the floor and replaced that area. When that was done they put the old vinyl back, sealing the edges. They also cut an access hole in the underbelly and then taped it back in place.
When I got it back home, I started noticing bumps in the floor from where they neglected to sweep the area around the repair and small particles were trapped under the vinyl.
I took the trailer back and told them this was not going to fly with me (the tape was now dragging the ground from the underbelly). The dealer eventually took up the old vinyl and replaced with new and replaced part of the underbelly. I also had a problem with the axles not lining up, but that's another story.
I hope that is true about new owners.

Here's some more help for you. First off, Keystone does not own Denali. You are right that Dutchmen does. Both Dutchmen and Keystone fall under the ThorIndustries umbrella, but Keystone and Dutchmen are brothers with the same dad (Thor Industries) and Denali would be a nephew to Keystone, not the son (Ok, I really enjoy genealogy and I've got Thor Industries down pretty good!

Here's some forums that may help you forumulate a better judgment. I did not read them so have no idea what content they contain:

iRV forum - thread specific for Denali

Woodalls forum (which is RV.net also)

RVPICS.com

Dutchmen Forum - you just gotta read through it, there's lots there.

Hope this helps.
