We have a 2012 313RE-OK (outdoor kitchen) that we ordered from the factory through a dealer. 2nd trip out water fitting on the bathroom sink started leaking. Called mobile RV tech to come and fix. Factory ok'd and reimbursed us for repair. Glad this happened as I learned about the "Watts" push on PEX fittings available at the hardware store. Bought extra PEX line and fittings as insurance. 2nd year another fitting leak in shower. Bought new valve (wife did not like the factory one) and I installed with 2 watts fittings. 3rd and subsequent trips auto reset breaker tripped when putting slide rooms in or out. Online research revealed a common problem with some hydraulic motors pulling too many amps. Lippert had a "service bulletin" recommending an upgrade from 50 amp auto reset breaker to 80 amp. 3 RV dealers/parts places looked at me like I was crazy when I asked for one. Amazon had 3 brand choices. Ordered and installed. Slides work perfect now.
All of the above would and has happened with all brands. We bought this particular model because it had "every" must have that the two of us had on our lists. 70 + nights in it and we are still happy with it. Good luck with your search.
