yes, I know we should have just given up. But it was financed through our local credit union and ???? I'm not sure we had any recourse. We were pretty much scr%wed and had to deal with what we got as best we could.
We have friends that bought a very high end Cardinal 5th wheel and have had nothing but grief too. The interior ceiling fell out! Like actually just all fell down. The slides are all crooked and don't seal and then they keep eating up the carpet when they are retracted. This is after a thorough PDI and everything looked great until they brought it home for 1 month. They didn't actually even get to camp in it the first year.
So that's my lovely saga of TC ownership. First brand new camper we ever bought after 12 years of camping and this is what happened. I did the research and heard nothing but good online reviews.
We should have just stuck with our used Sunlines and never, ever bought a new camper. those Sunlines were well built.
