Wow look at this, a complete Dutchmen bashing thread with little back up to why :R When just recently I read a post about all the problems someone had with Jayco, but everybody stood up for them and said, oh it must have been a one in a million problem unit...
Dutchmen/Thor are now owned by Keystone, and they make a thousand different brands of trailers, so should they be avoided too????
Every manufacturer makes a lemon model, especially in the RV industry it seems, too much cutting corners and human error on the manufacturer line to pump out product. An RV assembly line is much different then a computer robot controlled automotive line.
My suggestion is to find a floorplan you really like and works for you, then go and meticulously look through everything on that trailer before it leaves the lot, you will catch a lot there.
For the record, I have owned 2 Kodiak Dutchmen/Thor units, and aside from a few small things that plague all trailers in the industry, I am very happy with them. Dutchmen was very helpful when I did have a problem which is very important.
Good luck
I'm not bashing Dutchmen, I'm only asking others to expand on their complaints. It is easy to state that a certain brand 'sucks' but without listing reasons it is meaningless.
