first, finding a used Northwood or Outdoors RV product east of the Rockies will not be easy.
second, Riverstone has only been around for 2-3 years and never made a TT, just 5th wheels.
third, doubt if Cedar Creek ever made TT's. if they did, it's been many years ago.
fourth, PrimeTime is owned by FR also. i own one and love it. it offered a lot of things found on more expensive TTs.
have you actually looked at any of the brands in your list?
out of your list, i would put Grand Design at the top.
Thnks @bikendan,
Thanks for your feedback! To answer your question, I have been researching for the better part of several of the last few months. We have walked trhough a few dozen models (none listed above), and have looked online at well over 200 (and seeing the similarities now).
This thread started when I started learning the general consensus that "the best TT's are marginally less crummy than the worst." That was somewhat (okay, a lot) discouraging. We don't really care about new vs used, so my current thinking is if there are better quality brands out there, then we have no problem waiting for an older-model but higher quality TT. That's what my list above of about 4-5 models is all about... Identifying the floorplans that work for us across several higher quality (hopefully) brands.
How has your PrimeTIme been quality-wise? Better, worse, or on-par with the the fix-or-repair-every-trip that I hear about with some other FR brands?
cheers,

well, the PT is my second FR product and both were very good quality.
since both were ultralights, you have to accept that some stuff will be less sturdy.
both had issues but were fixed during the warranty. i sold my Rockwood Roo after 10 years of ownership. the buyer thought the interior looked almost brand new.
All brands of RVs have good and bad ones, not just FR. and remember Thor Ind. and FR are the two biggest RV corporations and have many divisions. they have a multitude of factories in different areas of the country.
i go by my own opinion of which brand has good quality or not, NOT by internet opinions.
