FR is no worse than any of the other major brands (Thor, etc). And no better.
I love our Brookstone and will not be changing it out for many years to come. But that came at a price of too many construction issues that had to be repaired under warranty.
So many issues people have are subcontractor issues, so many of the components purchased from other company's fail. But some of that still falls on the RV manufacturer, who wants as cheap as they can get it, and the subs fight and scrimp to meet those demands.
But we also had issues that were because of poor quality control. We got them all fixed under warranty, but I don't want to go through that again. I also know, having other brands, that the Russian roulette game is played with all of FR's direct competitors as well as with FR products.
Lastly, being an auditor for 30 years, I don't trust any statements that everything about a product is perfect based on ones own experience. I especially don't trust new products. I hope they are as good as all the initial hoopla, but I would give it a few years to shake out the truth.
