Sandpiper 5th wheels

I have the same rig as Marc(supercab79) and we love it. If you go over to the ForestRiverForums you will find that Sandpipers are quite common and the owners really like them. I have had 2 in 3 years and would buy another 365SAQ if anything happened to ours. Marc and I have talked quite a bit, and we agree, there is no better floor plan out there than a 365 for those if us with kids. Of course, you are going to hear bad things about them from some people, that's just the nature of it. I had problems with mine and FR stepped up and took care of it. I'm "golfmedik" over on that forum. Take a look and read a bit.

Have had only a few minor issues repaired under warranty for our unit in our sig. Quality wise, seems as well built as any of the other units we looked at when purchasing ours. Good luck.

X2 on B.O.' s post.

Sounds like a lot of bull to me. Ever try to walk through a piece of paneling, plywood or Masonite that's a 1/4 thick? Couldn't even walk through a piece of cardboard...Some of these stories are just so unreasonable. I bet there isn't any difference in the interior walls from one manufacturer to another across the board...

We just purchased a Sandpiper 365 SAQ it did have a few small issues but nothing more than you read about with any other brand. Anyway go on the forest river forums site and select TT trailers then select sandpiper and fifth wheel and read away. I came out of a 1997 Holidsy Rambler that not only was I in love with but was a pre Monaco unit and built like a brick s#€+ house . But 2 kids later and it was time for an upgrade. This unit is well built as far as today's standards are concerned and their floor plans r really nice. I can't speak about the other guys repairman falling through a wall but the interior walls of mine r 2x3 construction and haven't found anything overly flimsy other than all of the normal industry standard items used by every other manufacter. Frame and interior and structure normal.
