If you travel cross Country you need Keystone or any Thor product. No questions asked when we stopped in at any dealer. Most manufacturers want you to return to your dealer, Forrest River for example put it right in their literature. Friend of mine gave up his Artic Fox line because of problems with warranty repairs etc. AF has few dealers and that could be a problem if you travel. I looked at them and personally found them to be less attractive fit and finish. Don't hate them just what I saw! Like Airstream you hear great things , but still many of their units are delivered with serious problems. Therefore nationwide service is essentIal!

I would suggest not bad mouthing other manufacturers warranty policies unless you have owned one of their units and personally experienced these kinds of issues.

Good grief Artemus!!

"No questions asked when we stopped at any dealer".

"Most manufacturers want you to return to your dealer"

Let's see... you purchased in Montana, you're traveling in Florida and a slide malfunctions big time.
So - - you're supposed to return to the selling dealer in Montana for repairs?.
No matter how thin you slice it that's pure Baloney! (Balogna, if you prefer)..:S

and - YIKES!

WHY did you have to stop at *ANY* dealer??

Glad I don't have a keystone or Thor product!.:B

This thread is less than worthless - *anyone* can have a bad experience with a dealer or brand - while someone else loves them.

Some folks may require "a dealer" to tighten a loose screw in a window valance "under warranty" - simply because they have a warranty.

Unless *YOU* have owned (at least) a dozen or so of *different brands* - there's no way to compare.

For the OP newbie (norfla71) - Good Lord is right!
Do your own research for your area.
Decide what you want (brand & floor plan), how far you will go to purchase whatever *it* may be - at a price that is acceptable to you.

BTW - never needed any warranty service during the 2 year warranty period on my Jayco.
Yeah - a screw *did* pull out of a window valance - and the factory omitted a door glide (which I missed on PDI) - but I was my own warranty service center for both.
Took all of 5 minutes and about $2. for the door glide.
Bonus = No waiting for service, LOL!

Guess that means Jayco - and "my" service center are both great..:C
