Travel Light TC

I must be the only happy and satisfied owner of a Travel Lite 960RX truck camper on this Forum. Over the last six years I've had the camper since buying it new from a dealer in January of 2012, I have never had anything go wrong with it and everything works and it hasn't fallen apart. I did have to replace the roof a few years back but that was because of my negligence of not maintaining it properly. I realize that from late 2012 to early 2013 Travel Lite experienced a heavy turnover ratio of qualified employees due to Management. In their haste to replace those workers that walked out on them they hired poorly qualified and unskilled laborers who didn't know what the hell they were doing and that is again Management's fault, thus producing shoddy campers and after five years it still sounds like they are putting out shoddy campers. After reading all of the negative comments on this post I don't think I would ever buy a Travel Lite again so I should be happy that mine is still holding up with no problems.

The labor force issue with Travel Lite extended into 2014. We bought a Cobblestone travel trailer (made by Travel Lite) and it was plagued by assembly and construction issues. The gas and electric water heater was installed with the wire loom for the electric side still taped in a loop behind the water heater, laying on the floor, not connected to anything. Since this was on the backside of the assembly, the repairing dealer had to cut a panel out of the bedroom wall to gain access. The refrigerator was installed into a large cavity beneath the kitchen counter. No effort whatsoever was made to duct heat away from the evaporator and out the vent. It just sat there in this big open space. The fridge wouldn't get colder than 50 degrees but you could fry an egg on the counter top :-) All the cabinetry hinges were loose and when I tried to tighten them, discovered that 90% of every screw was stripped out. Then later discovered that this was due to the heavy duty cardboard pressboard they used in the assembly. Very cheaply made and assembled by drunk chimpanzees. Also I was surprised to find a 3500 lb trailer riding on a 3500 lb axle with tires rated for a total of 3520 lbs. This was one of the many reasons we gave up on travel trailers completely. The TT we owned prior to this one and the one we owned after this one weren't any better :-(
