You can search posts under my username to see all the problems with our Shadow Cruiser in the last year. I am happy to say the Axles seem ok so far (thanks Lippert and Cruiser) and the slide out problem (also Lippert) seems to be resolved. (knock on wood).
I guess I can attribute the underrated axles to Cruiser, but I cant really blame them for the slide out malfunctioning, since the whole mechanism was made by Lippert.
Now that our 280 has been repaired, I think I would be very nervous about purchasing any new TT. We havent had any more problems but it still was a royal pain losing a whole autumn and late summer of camping last year.
