I bought a 2011 E14RB new 4 years ago, and sold it last summer because I wanted an A-frame popup. I towed the KZ probably between 12,000 and 14,000 miles in that time. It towed well.
The bad: the window trim pieces kept falling down (the screws just go into thin luan and foam) and the furnace cover screws kept unscrewing themselves. The 5K btu AC was woefully inadequate in temps of 95* and up, but otherwise ok. The roof started leaking on the new owner within 2 weeks of when I sold it, so I went in halfway on a roof re-seal with him because I felt bad about not getting it checked beforehand. Also, I wished it had a bigger fresh water tank.
Otherwise it was a pretty nice little camper. It had good clearance for boondocking. I paid less than $10K new and sold it for $7500. I was reasonably happy with it while I had it; the stuff I mentioned above was mostly little stuff.
Oh, I could mention that the fiberglass gelcoat is plenty tough. I had a sideswipe incident when I had to swerve to avoid some idiot on the freeway; the pickup next to me probably cost $2500 or more to fix the big dents, but the trailer repair was less than $100 (new fresh water fill and fridge vent cover) and some elbow grease to clean off his tire's rub marks.
