Just came on the forum to look for some input about Dutchmen Komfort Fivers and the search brought up this thread...what a coincidence. We purchased our Komfort 2920 FRK in June of 2012. It is actually a 2013 model. They are pretty to look at but we quickly found out that looks are only skin deep! Almost immediately we had a leak on the right hand side of the closet area. Water ran in and the entire cabinet on the right was soaked! Investigation found that the outside security light was filled completely with water! Further investigation found that the light had been installed unside down. There were holes in the bottom of the cover and water was easily getting in through those because the holes were facing upwards. Pretty easy fix!
We have been staying in the RV since last Wednesday (9/4/2013) and yesterday it rained all day long. We now call it "A River Runs Through It!" The entire closet has water RUNNING into it, shelves are warping and all our towels are soaked from sopping up the water! My husband called the dealer this morning and told him to come out to the campground and put some kind of temporary fix on it to get by the rest of the season when it will be taken in to the dealership for the winter and be torn apart for a permanent repair.
The front burner on the stove is unusable because when turned on fire comes out of the line in front of the burner!
The RV is very cheaply made, there is NO padding under the carpeting and the carpeting itself is very cheap! Several of the drawers in the kitchen don't work properly and we left the RV at the dealership last winter for a list of repairs to be made, some were fixed but several were either not fixed or the repair was poorly done or not done at all!
We are VERY disappointed in the Komfort by Dutchmen that we purchased and would not recommend that anyone purchase one these poorly made RV's. There just has to be better quality out there for the money.
THANK YOU!!! This is JUST the kind of info that I was looking for!! I guess the dealer was right about saying that they are cheaply made!! I was so tired of seeing the same, traditionally styled generic TTs and 5'ers where they all seemed to look alike, that I found the Komfort styling refreshing!! It is more more our style! I wish that there were others that turned out more modern styles! Do you know of any others?
If not, we have every intention to replace the furniture and the flooring and the cabinet pulls....make it more our style. The only kind of booths that I would even consider now, are the Komfort's style. It looks very functional and comfortable. Is it? We will not buy one after hearing your story (unless yours was a lemon) but from hearing what our local dealer said, it sounds like the norm for that line. Their prices seem rather high for the lack of quality!
