Travel Lite TC Owners?
I feel like I'm the only one on this forum. The search I did only came up with a couple owners who had issues with their Travel Lites. I know that every brand has it's issues and each camper is diff...

I have a 2014 Travel Lite 770R. Nothing but problems... I bought it new in May 2013. It had 3+ gallons of water in the cabover nose less than one week after delivery (special ordered new from factory so it's not like it was sitting out at the dealer for a year). It pooled under the bed and bowed the siding down so far that it touched the roof of the truck. When you pushed up it sounded like water lapping against an aluminum boat! I thought I was at the lake LOL. I did get a new unit due to the fact that even though I waited 2+ months for a special order they did not install the special ordered items! Did. Not. Install.
The water was running out of the cabover, gushing out from the jack attachment bolts and running down the jacks, running out of the siding at every horizontal seam (I have aluminum siding) as far back as BOTH side windows! Um, people, that's about 1/2 way on my TC. I put a bucket under it after about 5 min. of staring in shock and collected 3 gallons just from under one jack, so you KNOW how much water was in that unit. No way was I paying for this.
I finally got it sorted out between the dealer and manufacturer. I had to drive to IN to pick up the new one, but counted myself lucky I had something to camp in for the remainder of last year.
Very pleased with layout and new camper for the 4 months I used it. thought I was golden, just bad luck that I bought the "Friday Afternoon Special" last year. Pure fluke I got such a lemon...
Not so fast happy camper. The new one began leaking 1 month after the 1 year warranty period ended! Same d*mn problem in the cabover. I was livid. I used the camper June, July, Aug, and Sept of 2013. It had been stored inside under cover from Sept. 2013 until July 2014 (late start camping this year). It began leaking in Aug. of this year. I only had it out for one darn rain storm between July and August! OMG, I am beyond angry by this time.
