Forest River Flagstaff 26RLWS
DW & I went to the Allentown RV show last night. Walked around for nearly 3 hours looking at dozens of trailers. Didn't like any of them (topic for another time). On the way out about 8 minutes...

We purchases a new Flagstaff Classic Super Lite 832IKBS in November 2013 from Explorer USA in Dallas (Mesquite).
We have put 7,500 miles on the trailer and lived in it full-time since March 6, 2014. Overall we are very happy with the trailer and satisfied.
We had one issue with the sail switch in the furnace the first time out which was quickly resolved.
We've replaced the small microwave with a Dometic microwave/convection oven. I've had to tighten a couple screws, remount a couple things. Otherwise no issues.
We've been down to 19 degrees several times. The fireplace electric heater and a small space heater are fine down to the mid-30's. At that point, I turn on the furnace to ensure heat into the underbelly area.
During the summer, the dual AC's have been great - up to 110 degrees kept it nice inside.
We have pretty good flow through ventilation with the two small windows on the bed slide, and in the main room of the TT. So we can sleep with the windows open if the temps are up to the low 80s.
Overall, we are very happy with the TT, but understand it is about a minimum level trailer for full-timing. It's certainly not the weight and build strength of a DRV. It's also not but about 22-24% of the price of the DRV. Would have like a bit more sidewall insulation, but we got what we paid for.
We previously owned a Cherokee Grey Wolf, which is a step below the model series you are looking at. We didn't have any issues with that TT either. But we didn't like the relatively cheap jackknife sofa, and some other things. Overall I won't say we were impressed with the build, but we weren't disappointed. We expected an entry level trailer built to meet a price point and were happy with what we got.
