Voltage 3950. It had teething problems but, yes, I'd recommend it.

We love our Crossroads Elevation. I don't think they make them anymore, but maybe they'll spin up their production again someday.It's a very comfortable home away from home. We've had it for three years now and still love it.It took our moron dealers service center (Giant RV) 20 months to work through all of our warranty issues. We actually had better luck when we just hired a mobile tech to come out and spend a day working on the remaining items.

2017 Keystone Impact 351. I'd recommend it and the other models in this line (neighbor just bought a 361 after conferring with us). No camper is perfect, even brand new, but overall the only bigger issue we had was on our 2nd trip with it, the front AC stopped working and it's always a big long ordeal to get something like that replaced, because the dealer has to contact Keystone, then Keystone has to contact the manufacturer of the AC, and then decide if they're going to cover it, etc etc. But that will happen with any camper that has an issue like that.We have also enlisted a mobile tech to just come to the house. The dealer we bought from is fine (and our purchase experience there was great), but they're just so backed up so even minor repairs take weeks and they're about a 25 minute drive away, it ends up just being easier for us to pay the mobile guy to do it when it comes to the little stuff that's a bit too hard to do with our skill set, but also isn't related to a major component. Like, when we had him come out to winterize it for us, we also had him repair the rubber flashing that's up by the roof that we think got caught on a tree so it was a bit messed up. We could attempt that ourselves but really, we're not super handy beyond the basics so it was easier to just have him do it while he was there. And again, that's an issue that could happen to anybody on any camper.I can't think of anything else we'd buy (unless we decided to go smaller again), other than a Grand Design. We considered those the first time around as well, but we don't use it enough to justify the extra cost.

2018 Fuzion 427. Two trips so far and we love it. Currently at the dealer for minor warranty issues. This is our second Fuzion so yes I'd recommend them.

Prime Time Spartan 41ft model. It's got some problems but it's our first toy hauler so we didn't know what to expect. In hind sight would have taken the bath and a half model. Most problem is a banging behind the pantry that we'll have to cut through a wall to figure out. Not looking forward to that! Might be the washer/dryer lines.

2017 Grand Design Momentum 395M. I would highly recommend to anyone. Previous was a 2011 Open Range 396RGR hauler. No longer made, but a nice rig also.

2009 Keystone Raptor 380 LEV.

Like the 14' garage and fireplace.

Don't care for the separate shower or the seating arrangement for watching tv and decals. I'd still consider Keystone though as I've owned a couple of THs from them.

Next RV would have auto level, full paint, better living room arrangement.

2015 Jayco Seismic 4212 rear and side patios. Ordered from Dealer, total POS and would not recommend to anyone. Numerous land gear failures and pins shearing off. Way to heavy for Lippert Ground control Electric system. Swinetech slide in wall system for the big slide has failed 3 times (in shop right now). Broke the spring hangers off rear axle Feb 2017, numerous electrical issues, and the patios absorb water like a sponge making the patios too heavy for one person. Very poor quality and durability issues for long term ownership. We use a lot when it isn't waiting for parts and service. Jayco has not helped resolve much but we won't ever buy another Jayco product.
