Thank you for the replys! I think maybe I'm sorry or maybe glad I was able to finally log on. Different computer at work kept me from getting on.
Anyway I'm not trying to "bash" any particular brands on this forum, however I Was looking at replacing my older Lance late this Spring. I was very impressed with the new Eagle Caps, (haven't seen any in person yet) though. But after reading the problems that they have been having with the 1160 & 1165 cracking around the slides I don't know anymore!
There saying because of the over cab weight & the drivers side slide that the aluminum frame isn't able to handle the stress! There not getting much support out of the factory other than a cosmetic repair basically to get them out of the warranty period. Whats up with this!! You lay out $ 50k's & it starts cracking on you!
I guess I'm just tired of reading all of the problems people are having with most all the new campers! I truly feel sorry for these guys. We all work hard & deal with every days stress & then am blessed with a faulty designed RV. I'm sure it creates problems on the home front, I know it would at my home! I know I'm rambin on, but I know there's others out there who must be frustrated about which Brand to buy.
Sorry, brings me to my point of all this, I was looking at the EC 995 would you guys shy away from all EC's or maybe the smaller ones would be OK. But they all have the same weight I would think overhead along with a large drivers side slide, what do you guys think?
I know some of you guys may think that I am bashing this brand, but actually I thought after reading it on a relatively small EC forum that it ought to brought into the more public camper forum, possibly the factory may read this. Who Knows! These manufacturers need to be held responsible for this stuff!
