We bought a new 27Q 2006 FR Cherokee and love the configuration. That being said…..repairs include: dealer raised the trailer because it was close to “bottoming out” on both tires in turns; I replaced all 4 tires the 2nd year (Carlisle brand and load range at edge); I replaced the rear axle because it straightened; 2 leaks at water tubing connections making the press board cabinet trim swell (I fixed leaks and trim) and a few cosmetic repairs.
FR took care of the bottoming out issue but they were somewhat reluctant and I needed to stay in contact with them.

I’m thinking all trailers have issues. Maybe I’ll buy an “upgraded newer used” trailer next time; let the previous owner take care of the major issues.
