So this weekend I am browsing thru Craig's when I spot an '08 Eagle Cap 950 for sale at a RV dealer's lot about 100 miles away. I put it out of my mind until today ...we are getting another snow storm so I decide to look a little closer at the units pics on their website which happened to have a vin number.I google Eagle Cap and get a phone number and make a call to see what they can tell me about this specific unit..if it had any warranty work...issues...etc.I immediately got to speak to Brad at Adventurer. He explains the history of Eagle Cap and their several ownership changes. He proceeded to explain that if the nose cap had any leaks and needed to be removed for repair that most of the time since they were glued on they are destroyed in the repair Additionally they were not in possession of the molds to make a new nose cap so proceeded with caution. I appreciate the time he took with me and the guidance provided. Good folks!

they've been good to me too. I've emailed them quite a few times now and have always got a direct answer, without the usual 'take it to the dealer' response.

Good folks!Agreed...I have communicated with Brad several times...always helpful.We had such a positive experience with our Adventurer when we upgraded to a slideout we stayed with AMLRV.Clarification on the nose caps; AMLRV does in fact still use a 1 pc molded nose and rear cap.Perhaps Brad was referring to the old design tooling?

Sounds like he was directing you away from his campers because of leaks that can't be fixed

Actually the one-piece nose cap is very reliable. The seams are well away from the corners unlike most other units. What I find unusual is AMLRV's assertion that they don't have the molds. The former company was owned by the brother of the current owner of Adventurer and the takeover was, I understand, a friendly one. Why would they not have acquired all of the equipment, unless they wanted to distance themselves from any issues with the 2nd generation units?

Yes, allow me to clarify...he was explaining that they did not have a mold for the nose cap to the 2008 model I was looking at.
