River side RV Retro

Does anyone knows much, or have heard about River side RV retro T.T? The wife is thinking about getting one of this units, but I would like to know more about it . I did went to their website which does not provide much info on how it's built or what it's built of Wood or aluminum frame etc. (only specs ) I Google the name to see how long they have been in business but not much info on there either. However they are in good standing with the BBB which it probably doesn't mean much. It is a nice looking T.T. if you like the retro look, we are looking at the model 199 FKS which it has one slide. any info it's appreciated

Thank you all in advance..:)

    I think all their current models are aluminum framed (the superstructure frame, not the chassis frame). Some older models (150,171,173) were wood framed.

    Note that the 199FKS drains both sinks into the black water tank (which is 17 gallons), the shower is the only thing which drains to the gray water tank (32 gallons). Seems designed for people who mostly wash their hands in the shower. ;)

    I've got a 177SE, the construction itself seems to be above average in my experience, but that's not saying much when talking about RV construction. The only issue I've had has been water getting into a couple of the exterior lights (but not past them inside the skin, AFAICT).

    There is a Riverside specific forum, people generally seem happy with them.
