On a quick scan of this thread I noticed one mention of another FR brands—Palomino. Other FR brands include Coachmen, Dynamax, Prime Time, Shasta, etc. That’s too many different managements and models to broad swath paint one conclusion. If you’ve been burned bad through ownership of a seriously bad unit, it would be hard not to draw broad conclusions. Our first trailer, brand XXX, had the gas pipe run through the spring shackles (got flatter every time we hit a bump), the fridge held up by 1/8” paneling (inside where we couldn’t see it--rough road caused it to sink bulging out the wall), and non-stop window leaks from very bad sealing design (wood framing started rotting away). No way would I buy anything built by brand XXX even though this was their least expensive unit. After extensive looking and being on a very limited budget we selected a FR Palomino Puma. I have found one construction problem that was easier to fix than hauling it back 150 mi. to the dealer. After a year with the trailer, I still feel that it is above average construction quality (it’s not fancy, but we didn’t pay for fancy) in this price range. FR offers one feature that I really like—a second year warranty for $145. I have seen threads on line claiming brand XXX was better construction because they gave a free two year warranty—not in my experience, and they have now stopped offering the second year warranty.
