New WW at the Tampa show

Part of the appeal of the Weekend Warrior line was the design, style and higher level of trim of the line.

For a company to come out and say that all the problems are fixed from previous models is not true since the only connection between old and new trailers is the name stuck on the side and there is no track record to even refer to.

Do have an original Weekend Warrior late 2007 RKD3000 with few problems and it is hard to match the features and high trim level with other Toy Haulers built at the time.

I think this is the new Weekend Warrior he is talking about. Looks good. Hope they work out.

Just went and toured their factory yesterday and looked at their 4100 series toy hauler. Fit and finish look good, quality definitely looks to be there. These are going to be factory direct and the plus side to it is that they are willing to make changes to their design, within reason of course but if a customer wants different toilets, no problem, if they want a different shower/bath/cabinet set up in the bath, that's all possible because they do their own millwork in house.
This doesn't seem to be the normal cookie cuter manufacturer. Once they get a few manufactured I intend to go up again and check them out.
One of the big pluses is that they are using triple 8K lb axles with G rated American made tires. They are also upgrading the 5500 onan to a 7000 onan because of AC requirements.
Another item, I seen on some frames that are made by lippert is where they attach the spring shackles they use a small angle on the outside of the I-beam flange for additional support. I recommended that better reinforcing be done around the spring hangers. They told me they would be glad to have lippert do any additional reinforcing that I would request in order for me to feel more comfy with their product. The frame I looked at was a TT frame so looking forward to go back and look at a fifth wheel frame.
They took a lot of notes from my visit so I'm excited to see what improvements if any they might incorporate from my input.

What did you think of the 28'?

That right there perked my eyes up and earns some respect! Hopefully others will follow. Hopefully they were on 16" rims.

It also looked good though I didn't spend a lot of time looking at it but what I seen is the same build systems as used on the 5th wheel toy hauler.

Yes they will be on 16" wheels. I commented to them when I first walked in about tire/axle issues discussed here on this site, as to builders using marginal rated equip on their products. He said they have been listening and plan to have G rated American made tires at least on the 4100. Should be across the board but we didn't discuss that.

I also suggested using or having disc brakes as an option. He wrote it down so we'll see.
