As for the Vantage I heard they just didn't sell, and dealers quit ordering them, and there were some roof problems.
Have you looked at Lance TT, or Bullet Premier.
The dealer network does seem to have been the cause for the short production life of the Vantage. I believe that during the model run more people were looking to purchase RVs as the economy improved and dealers found it easier to sale double and triple slide out trailers of traditional build.
When it came to the Vantage it was a different way to build a different design offering features that were not high on the list of most buyers. Not to mention they only offer on slide out, and it is a rather shallow slid out at that. It came to market with the looks of an Airstream which the Airstream owners hated. Hated the know off look and the price point that was over 55% less than an Airstream. So many started to compare the Vantage to an over weight obese Casita travel trailer never finding its niche in the market place.
The roof problem was addressed in a recall and directly related to the seam tape used where the fiberglass cap joined with the roof membrane. Keystone tried the use of a new product that wasn't what it was thought to be and had a tendency to dry out crack and loose adhesion. The recall replaced this tape and then had a dicor product poured over the top of that to create a new seal. This same tape had been used on the slide out roof and was as addressed to be replaced.
