REDWOOD FIFTH WHEEL

Purchased a brand new 2014 redwood 38 GK, the day i got it home opened slides and ripped the trim on the wall right off, the air conditioner didn't have a drain line leaked water thru roof electrical shorts whole house vacuum broken t.v. were falling off brackets. and there's more this has been the worst nightmare in my life. it took two months for them to fix. got it back and it opened up another can of problems, slide out is tearing carpeting up window in bedroom is broke the furnace discharge blows the heat out onto storage door melted it they have agreed to fix everything but can't get parts to repair facility. it's been there two months again the repair facility sent a truck for parts today to the factory only to find out there was none. they also promised to make my payments for the first repair which took two months and they RENEGED on their promise. WORD TO THE WISE STAY AWAY THEY LOOK BEAUTIFUL BUT IT'S ONLY SKIN DEEP. I am not new to the rv industry this is my 4th unit.BUYER BEWARE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Sorry to hear about your troubles with your new fifth wheel. I hope everything gets fixed properly for you. When repairs are this extensive that trailer should be sent back to the factory and replaced. No if's, and's, or but's!

    Something needs to be done in this industry regarding the shoddy work that comes out of these factories.

    Thanks for letting us know.
  • I met a guy in Florida with nothing good to say about his redwood, the original OP obviously was not only looking to vent but to give other's a heads-up and save somebody else some grief, I say thanks and I hope you get your troubles sorted out to your satisfaction, let's remember people there not GIVING these rigs away!!

  • I agree with all of the posts above....and will add...

    My SIL sells Montana's, Landmark's and Redwood's. They move about 1 a week of each. She has told me hands down, the Redwood is the one with the most problems when they get them. Sounds to me like they aren't paying attention to detail at the factory...then again there aren't to many that do!

    Whether he did or not, I've heard two other similar stories about them.
