Fuzion TH's

Hi All...

I've been looking at Toy Haulers for a couple years now and I am seriously considering purchasing the new Fuzion 342..

just wondering if anyone has one and knows of any issues, complaints, quality issues? And really... for any of the currently year Fuzions, not just the 342.. but any 342 specific input appreciated...

I'm afraid to spend this kind of money and get something I'm going to be sorry with... so would appreciate any and all input :)

also.. anyone happen to have any information on the new fuzion 331 that is supposedly coming out soon?

    I just dropped my 315 off to the dealer today for a minor list of warranty issues. The only one on the list that I couldn't easily fix myself without spending a significant amount of money was a slam latch that the lock quit working on. All the other issues were fairly simple fixes, but I after dropping that kind of money on a trailer, I figured it should be their problem not mine.

    Overall the quality of the Fuzion line is pretty good in my opinion. Most of my issues are a result of how fast these things are rushed out the door when they are built. The industry as a whole needs to focus more on quality control because I hear the same complaints over and over across all the brands. You would think that it would cost less money to perform better quality control inspection verses paying dealers to fix minor problems.

    One issue that you should look out for during your PDI is the slide out drawer under the couch. The end of the sofa that the track mounts to on the right side is on askew for some reason. They just mount the track flat to the wall and when the drawer is wopen it causes the drawer to come off track. This is not noticeable until you have wthe drawer full and it becomes very difficult to move because the weight won't let it slide on the floor as easily as it does when empty. My dealer is fairly new to the Fuzion line but they acted like they had never seen this problem before. My son and I checked out a new 310 that they had on their lot and sure enough it was built exactly the same and the drawer was off track already. I don't know if the 310 was built close to the same date as mine, but I doubt it because this dealer just got it in 4 or 5 months after mine was built. We looked at a 399 also but I forgot to look at the drawer to see if it was the same. Overall, it is an easy fix, but you shouldn't have to mess with it yourself!

  • On my fusion the floor around the heater vents could be better braced, and the fit on the shower door was so bad it destroyed the lower wiper/seal after opening and closing the door 4 or 5 times. Shower fixed by dealer under warranty, the floor didn't show up until well out of it.
  • my dealer informed me that they were in the process of putting together a new one.. I think he said it was the 331. It's also supposed to be a double axle 3 slide model.. he had no details yet though..

    I'd be strictly guessing here, but I could see them doing away with the loft for more storage and possibly making the 2door fridge/2door freezer an option/standard.. but who knows...

    appreciate the feedback and will see if I can figure out how to get some quality results from a search:)
  • I am dealing on a 342 as well. I have sold my 322 to the inlaws. I have been happy enough with my Fuzion to buy another. I did not know about the 331, am I going to wish I had waited?
  • We bought a Fuzion 315 at the end of January and have been living in it ever since. We will be headed home in about a month. I really like it. It was a significant upgrade from our KZ 2910. There aren't enough electrical outlets in the kitchen/living area. Easy fix. Quality seems OK. Not the same as a stick built house, but not bad. I think they are worth the money and you will enjoy your purchase. Pin weight is heavy. You should have a dually TV.

    This is where the Search box works, you may or may not hear from everyone, but by searching you'll have a few days worth of stuff to read both the good and the potentially bad.
  • So far only issues is that they wireing the batt disconnect wrong but not that big deal so far so good. I have herad new model is like 342 but different but not sure
