Help....2015 Viewfinder 21ks travel trailer

Thinking very seriously about purchasing this trailer, but have heard in the past they are not well made and/or there has been problems. I was told a new company or division was now making them since about 2014, but can't confirm. Any and all info, comments, etc would be greatly appreciated. Wife is retiring in about 2 to 3 months and we plan on doing some traveling...Thanks

  • I had a Funfinder, same company. They never hooked up the drain to the shower. Although most of the trailer appeared to be made well, the rear axle was bent. I didn't know that until a year later when the tires wore out unevenly. It was a new trailer when I bought it, so the dealer prep should have caught it during their inspection. I'm guessing it was the transporter who ran over something before delivering it to the dealer.
    I also had two minor leaks and an electrical problem with the slide.
    The RV industry has a long way to go to catch up with the auto industry for quality control. Given robotics and the technical know how of the auto industry versus hiring anyone willing to work for little pay in the RV companies, it's no mystery why most RV factories can't get it right. Unless you can afford an Airstream, get a trailer with a decent warranty and buy from a local dealer.
