To us, some of the Forest River products look to be better thought out than many of the others and their build quality is at least comparable to as well. That may be why one of their brands finally unseated Jayco as the largest selling brand last year.
Jayco under Thor's ownership has fallen quite a bit. We owned three of them, and you couldn't have paid me to take one off the lot when we were looking back in July.
Sure, you'll find people who will complain about any model, but you also have a lot of unrealistic expectations especially from the newer buyers. When you look at the actual complaints, it's been things like the refrigerator and tires, which are supplier issues and not necessarily the brand, but the newbies don't recognize that very quickly.
I'd like to think that after six trailers and a motorhome, my expectations are realistic, and our 2019 GD hasn't failed us. Yet.
And to be clear, everyone in this conversation has been doing this for at least 10 years. I'm not referring to people here. I'm talking about the newbie complainers that flood the Facebook groups.
