We owned a 2013 FM 235 for 6 years. Very few NW related issues. Had a tiny water leak in the 1st week. Mobile tech fixed it in a couple hours. Bad fitting from NW.
We did have the faded cap issue that plagued so many dark front caps back then.
Other than that it was relatively trouble free. Very solidly built 5ers.
If we had had the funds for the 27-5L we would've went that route. Much much more room inside, huge tanks and larger bathroom. The 235's toilet room was too cramped for us and the lack of closet space and kitchen counter space were the reasons that we changed trailers.
We really enjoyed owning it as it was like the lawn mower you drag out every spring and 1-2 pulls and it starts. Same with our 235 every spring when we took the cover off and resumed camping again. Everything always worked.
