Okay I got cold feet and didn't want to be the guy that bought the first one I see. I did check out the Northstar Laredo I was going to plan a trip to look at one till it sold yesterday. I did not, although I should have, expect the slim pickins.
Again, yesterday, I was steered away from Lance. Three dealers now, one of them a Lance dealer, admitted to me that the quality is down from what they were before. I looked at a 2016 model and you could see the seems in front and all the potential leak points. It was an 855s and under the slide area there is a big void that did not seal. You could open the seat on the dinette and feel the draft.
Anyway the hunt continues. I still might end up over at the WC dealer.
Thanks...Mike.
