Have heard of a lot of problems with Columbus line. Looks can be real decieving for sure. We had a Cedar Creek for 13 years and never had a Warranty issue. I understand ALL new trailers are hqving issues. All mfgs are pumping out rigs so fast there is now no quality control. Northwood seems to be one of the better mfgs. They are a regional builder family owned. Their built on in house frames, so they are more stout than some of the mass marketed units. Their sister company Outdoor RV is also getting good reviews.
At least give them a look. They may not have the glitz and glitter, but are better built.
We had a neighbor in Az that bought a Columbus and I thought he was lying when he told me how bad it was but after going in to look it was a nightmare and continued to be the next couple of winters and then I talked to another owner with the same model and his issues were the same.
No help from the CW seller or the manufacturer. Bad tires were another issue will both owners.
