Wildcat Max 262 RGX reviews

Hi

Anyone know about Wildcat Max 5th wheels? It will be our first RV purchase.

Any reviews would be helpful.

Thanks

Mary

  • There's only a handful of larger companies who build multiple brand names. They are all put together, pretty much the same. The interior systems (stoves, refrigerators, water pumps, entertainment systems, etc) are also made by just a few companies, and they carry their own warranties. And, the under carriage is the same. They all have issues here and there. They all have things that will come apart while bouncing down our bad roads.

    Wildcat is a Forest River product. They build a large number fifth wheels, travel trailers, toy haulers, motor homes, park models, cargo trailers, pontoon boats, and buses, with numerous brand names. I currently own my second Flagstaff travel trailer, which is also a Forest River product.

    The key to RV longevity is how it is maintained. If you don't know your way around a tool box, you'll need to be prepared to throw money at it. Doesn't matter who built it.
  • We've always been happy with our WC but I have to say, I dont think it's a good idea to buy an expensive new RV for your first purchase. I can almost promise you that you will find there are things you dont like or want and will trade after a short time.
    We made the mistake; bought a Pup and after a few uses, hated it. Then we bought a nice used unit and used it for a few years. During that time we learned and figured out exactly what we wanted.
    Then we bought a new rig and have kept it 13 years.

    JMHO, good luck!
