That video was great, loved seeing how they are built. I've owned some campers before but never a brand new one. So I've been around enough to see fit and finish, electrical and plumbing problems, and the dreaded roof leaks. Even reviews for what I thought were upper tier brands have shown me that interior trim and the like is a pretty much an issue across the board. I think half of it may be sloppy construction, maybe the other half is a flimsy lightweight box being pounded down the road all day must loosen things up. A lot may depend on how the driver who delivered it from factory to dealer treated it. One trip up 495 in Massachusetts at 60 is enough to loosen all your fillings.
I think I like the aluminum stud walls over wood, but why didn't the do aluminum on the roof as well? Strength?
For what I'm looking at, this leftover Innsbruck is the cheapest of all five Im considering. It is the only one with a slide, which is a big plus. I started out looking at no -slide bunkhouses, just to stay down in price. They all have two rear bunks of varying size, front walk around queen, and dinette and couch that can be made into beds. There are five of us, but the kids are at an age where they may want to bring a friend. Options I want are spare tire, exterior speakers, power Jack, and I would love an outdoor kitchen. However, the only one I've found with an outdoor kitchen is several states away, apparently Campers Inn doesn't carry them in my part of the country.
For reference, the GS is $14k and has a slide. Heartland, Coleman, Avenger ATI and Shasta are all around $15,900 for 2017s but no slide.
Thanks for the responses.
