JCZ,
I don't think anyone on here I've noticed has anything against a Northwood product persay but they probably certainly do against the claiming they the best and least problematic RV made as it is NOT and by a long ways. There are several RV brands made that are much better designed, constructed, higher quality, better insulated, have higher quality appliances in them and purchased major components in them, have stronger frames, a better/longer warranty, a much larger and dispersed dealer network when problems do occur, and some are a lot cheaper to purchase also and have a higher resale value. Like about everything made west of the Rockies, it's simply more expensive to purchase than an equal product manufactured east of the Rockies. More expenssive to purchase and usually repair but no better than it's equal made somewhere else.
Being stranded hundreds of miles from a dealer who will, can, or be authorized and paid from Northwood for repair work on a Northwood RV and also needing to have a Northwood made or purchased priority item or assembly to fix a problem 2000-3000 miles away is a huge not easily forgotten experience as many have found out! People have long memories of bad experiences!
Read the OP's question again as that's what he needs answered. Not who and how many can be cheerleaders for the particular RV brand they own as such usually is inflicted with a disease called "tunnel vision"!
