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.
