Given your knowledge, would you do it again?

We currently have a 2013 Wildcat 353ls that we purchased new. We currently have all of the bugs worked out of it. And I can't say enough positive things about the Wildcat division of Forest River. They have gone way above any and all expectations of service during the initial warranty period as well as offerings of good will gestures after the warranty has expired.

Yet, we are now thinking up upgrading our choice of 5th wheel ownership. Going a little more high quality and bling along the way. To be honest the Wildcat is one of the best values or bang for the buck that I have experienced in RV ownership.

We are looking at Open Range 3X, Big Country and a new old stock Forest River Trilogy by Dynamax.

So now you know some of my latest history of ownership. And yes there have been some bumps and bruises along the way. Some that I could fix, more that I had to count on Wildcat to handle and a deep wallet slide issue that hurt my budget.

Question is, with all that you have gone through, would you go forward, run the other way, keep what you have or rather pull your hair out if giving consideration to starting over with a new RV purchase?
  • Once I was financially able to justify a new RV, I don't care to back to used. Not that there is anything wrong with a used camper, we've had and enjoyed quite a few over the years. It's just we can now afford it and it's nice to get a new one. If we see something we like better and can afford it, we surely would!
