I realize that I am talking out of turn of sorts, but thought it might be interesting to update on my original thread. I have now had my Traillite for 5 years and 7 months, and have about 102,000 miles on it. In summary, I have had only minimal problems. As I noted some time ago, if I could do it over, I wouldn't have gotten the slide, as I never use it, and if it isn't cinched just right it leaks on the floor a little during a heavy rain. That was a problem when it was new and never was really fixed. Aside from that (it is more of an annoyance than a problem, as there isn't enough leakage to create mold, or rot), it has been pretty trouble free. No problems with the drive train. I have had the normal preventive maintenance, a crankshaft sensor (for ignition) replaced, the throttle position sensor replaced (this was a year ago and was the first time I have ever had to have a vehicle towed - ever). I also had a couple of minor exhaust leaks, some alignment probs at first, but none in the past 4 years. In short, it has been an excellent vehicle. The appliances have needed some repairs (refer (I leave it on all the time), ac, converter, several generator repairs, a door lock, water pump, a couple of propane leaks). I don't keep exact records on everything, but have definitely gotten my money's worth, and continue to do so. I expect the engine to last about another 100K miles. The big stuff is still covered by the CSP warranty which I bought when it was a few months old. As you can see in my signature, I am moving to towed vehicles eventually, but primarily for a mix of added space, and eventually an added very small trailer once I sell the motorhome in order to improve fuel usage. I still get about 9-10 mpg around town and 10+ on the road. Oil usage has gradually diminished as I changed to a heavier synthetic mix oil. The Air Force used to have a "lead the force" program to build up a lot of flying time in a hurry. Maybe the miles I have accumulated will give some indication of what you can look forward to. I will try to keep in touch with this thread and answer any questions about my rig.
