Time to buy a new TT

Well the time has come to finally buy a new TT. Our 2003 has been going downhill and I'm tired of repairs.

I've held off for quite some time because I generally distrust an industry that only provides a 12 month warranty, and produces a throw-away product that they build to last 5 years. Fit and finish, poor workmanship, shoddy construction, inferior materials, including poor chalking etc....Spending thousands of $$ for something I believe should be of better quality. Well, that's my rant :)

Family of 4 that loves to camp and currently have bunks, so we want to keep that, and want a slide. I would say we are in the 27-31 feet range for length. I've looked at the Winnebago Minnie Plus, and they say all the right things....just want to know what people would recommend from their own experiences. I'm in Canada, so that could be a factor as well to availability of quality brands.

There are so many variations from the same or similar suppliers, it's hard to know what you actually get that is better or improved from one over the other...if any.

Feedback would be appreciated.
  • Jayco and KZ offer 24 month warranties on some models, not that it means much if your dealership is backed up 5+ months on rework for factory screwups and the manufacturers are operating at 110% so sending something back to the factory results in more months of delay.
  • I would say Freedom Express bunk models but mine has been at the dealership for 2 weeks for warranty work and still don't have an update. Yeah and we've had it for about 5 months now. Soooooo not going recommend Coachmen right now
  • They haven't got any better the rant should still be there
