get ready for a ton of opinions....
here is mine. wife and i are on our 2nd TT. first was a forest river wildwood. aluminum siding. 33ft , one living room slide. owned it 18 months, towed it up and down east coast, niagara falls, georgia, mountains to the coast. only had one issue which was easy fix. self leveling caulking crack on rear roof corner which i found in a timely manner by doing my monthly roof inspection. recaulked it myself. it is considered a cheap entry level TT sold by a company that gets slammed all the time by bad reviews. we enjoyed the heck out of it.
current TT is a keystone laredo 3 slide, 37ft TT. keystone also gets slammed for bad quality. we chose it because of floor plan. 6 months into it we have had no issues.
i learned a long time ago how to do most of the upkeep and maintenance on it myself. have no desire to leave it at a rv dealer for 2 months waiting for service. RV systems.. plumbing, electric, fridge, heat, hot water heaters etc are not that complicated if you are willing to learn.
in my opinion no RV is built to specs and regs as a stick and brick home. i hear about problems with "high end" units all the time.
the customers controls the market.... and the majority want cheaper units. you get what you pay for.
