We have had our '12 OR Roamer 303BHS TT since May of 2012. We purchased it new. It has had issues with delamination on the main slide walls, both front and later the rear. It was due to improper molding being used and lack of sealing on the bottom edge allowing water to wick up. Both were replaced under warranty with no problem. The moldings on later models is different from ours , so it appears my issue was not isolated, but the manufacturer has made the needed improvements. We also had an issue with the front cap. The first time I waxed it around three weeks after purchase, I found a screw protruding. It appeared when the forward upper cabinets were installed, a screw was set too far and popped out of the skin. This was repaired by our dealer, but apparently has already allowed moisture to get in as it delaminated several months later about 12-14 inches below. The factory immediately stepped up and replaced the entire front wall under warranty with the work being done at the dealer. Other than these issues and a couple minor ones like a leaky water fill and propane hose (all of which were taken care of immediately), nothing else has been an issue. After my experiences with both my dealer and the OR factory directly, I would not hesitate to buy another OR. There is a lot to be said for great customer service.
