We have a 2014 Timber Ridge 240RKS that we like very much. The floorplan and heavy-duty 4-seasons construction is perfect for us.
I drove across the continent to pick up the trailer new last fall. Initial inspection went well, fit/finish was fine, everything worked as advertized. In fact there were several unexpected options that I didn't realize were included in the price.
But since then it has had several issues with various components (water pump, remote, stab jacks, marker lights). There was also an rare leak from a poorly applied drip rail on the slide that was easy to fix once diagnosed. So far I've done my own repairs with parts supplied by ORV under warranty as we are so far from any dealer.
The Al-Ko RBW slide out assembly is the biggest problem so far. We've popped 3 bolts/shear-pins and the last one mangled the drive shaft. Currently are looking into getting it replaced/re-built, possibly modified.
We've used the trailer a lot, essentially living in it 4 months of the year and traveling 8-10K miles per year. So are harder on it than the usual summer weekend user. Our previous trailer had many problems as well, so I suspect these problems just come with the territory.
Good luck with yours.
