I've had great service with my Cedar Creek. Front cap was fading and I got an approval from the factory to have it painted in just 3 days. It was also out of warranty by about a year and a half. This was done last fall.

A lot of things can change between last fall and this winter. All it takes is a corporate directive from up the ladder to come down, or a new general manager assigned to the division, and there you have it. You can not count on past policies being around when you need something at a later point in time.
The fanboi's over at Forest River forum used to crow and pump their chests about the 2nd year warranty that could be purchased for between $100 and $300. Silence developed when Forest River nixed it with no prior announcement, and the reason claimed was nothing more than total BS. They also used to talk up how great Forest River was by holding the yearly rally in Goshen where they would fix your junk. Just so happens the reins are being tightened on that also.
Fact is you can go to a dealer and line up 4 of the same floorplan Cedar Creeks, or 4 Jaycos, or 4 Grand Designs, 4 Winnebago's even 4 Lances or Artic Foxes, and you'll have 4 of the same floorplan with different levels of build quality/ fit and finish. One can be perfect, the next a lemon. The perfect one may have followed the lemon down the line.
Your in worse shape if you become afflicted with RV forum branditis or itsthegreatestbecauseipurchseditosis.
