Looking for opinions, good or bad, on Forest River Wildcats

My wife and I are getting very close to buying a gently used 2013 Forest River Wildcat Maxx 313RE. I think back east they are called Wildcat and out west here they are called Wildcat Maxx, but I think that basically the line is the same. Would love to hear about anybody's experiences, good or bad, with the quality of the trailer, fit & finish, recurring problems, anything at all. Thanks in advance for any input! --Mike in Sacramento, CA

    Like any other towable RV the big worries are tires and suspension. Namely the plastic bushings Lippert uses. Replace them with a wet bolt kit, and if 16 inch wheels, install a decent quality LT tire. Fit and finish? Not sure. I have heard stories that the Dallas,OR plant has had QC issues, but no worse than any other RV mfg. Look it over really close, and make your best deal. Might be able to negotiate new tires in the deal.
