I have a 2012 Prime Time only a Crusader 5ver, it had some problems initially that I fixed but all in all I think Prime Time has some innovated ideas. They could have spent more on the TV and stereo but love the 4 door fridge, fireplace and slam shut baggage doors, completely ducted 15k btu AC. Hate the rear electric jacks, too slow and feeble but that's Lippert, swivel rocker chairs should have been recliners as well. We have an island counter, all the counters look like granite but they are not, they ARE painted with something, probably an epoxy paint, the TV and sink covers weigh next to nothing so I don't think it's wood. They have stood up very well, we are just careful with them.

You have the E-Stone countertops, which Prime Time stopped using last year. It is recycled paper product and epoxy...

They are all LG solid surface now. FWIW, the Sanibel always had the LG countertop.

Correct. Prime Time stopped using E-Stone counter tops. There were too many instances of the counters being easily scratched.

On some of Primetime rigs there is wear on the underside of the slides. The cloth under wrap is tearing. Not sure how many models but I do know the Sannibel and Crusaders are affected. Primetime has no solutions and has remained silent except for a post from someone named RV Guy who appears to be a rep. from Forest River. His last post was from 10/15 regarding a post asking a different question so he may not be with them anymore. Go to the forum suggested by Paul Clancy. Look for a post dated 8/11/13 by Platokidd (I am not Platokidd).

I have a Crusader 330MKS since July 2012 and it has been flawless but showing a little wear of the Darco wrap they use. IMO, the Darco is a poor material to use. My countertops are a Corian type material..

Mine is a 320rlt 3 slides and so far no wear under any slide. Going by the TV and sink covers my counter material is a fraction of the weight of Corian but by looks could be mistaken for it.

Cmon, you really thought his counter was painted? :R

I did not see it-only telling you what the guy told me-seem odd to me also.

I met a camper camped next to me in OH that told me his Primetime kitchen counter top was painted. He came in my Bighorn to look at my counter top which my DW says is a solid Corian type top. I found that strange that a counter top has a painted finish. He also said his shower stall was not supported well from underneath. I have nothing against Primetime-they look like very nice units.

FYI prime time uses LG solid surface counters.
