It's tough to criticize any RV because you always hurt someone's feelings. I'm sorry, but I'm going to hurt them again. Typically, it's not fair to criticize another product until you've own one as mentioned, but I would never have made the mistake of owning one. Even as novice shoppers, we knew they were junk. They were so cheaply made. The only reason they sold the numbers they did was because people were enthralled with some of the gadgets, like Tupperware already in the too tall cabinets. The satellite dome countersunk into the bedroom roof so you banged your head when you sat up.
Pull on the fenders and see how much they flex. Better yet, drive that too tall monster in the wind. They went out of business long before the market crash for good reason. The price the dealer is asking is about twice what it's worth!
your response makes no sense. you say its not fair to criticize something you've never owned yet here you are??? the unit we're considering has no pre placed "tuppaware" or a "countersunk satellite dome". as far as wind, the alfa is twice the weight of my current unit so im pretty sure it would be better in crosswind then what I have now. as they are both large rectangular boxes on wheels, wind will have an effect. i'm sure its no different then any other RV in the wind, lol.
as far as cheaply made? I wouldn't wish a damon product on my worst enemy yet its the number one seller here in Canada. even a simple walkthrough shows me the alfa is built ten times better then my current damon.
thanks for your post none the less
