Bought our Timber Ridge last October. Picked it up in B.C. Brought it back camping along the way to Ontario, down to Florida over the Winter, and various camping trips this summer in Ontario. Basically, we've lived in it for around 4 months so far.
Love the trailer. It's very solidly designed and built, well insulated, with big tanks.
The frame is also solid, and the trailer rides well with the shock absorbers and heavy duty axles. Mine has two 5200# axles and four 2540# rated tires holding up a 8100# GVWR trailer, so there's quite a margin of safety, and the GoodYear tires are holding up well with no sign of unusual wear.
But all is not perfect. We've had problems with several of the components:
- Lippert Remote Control failed.
- Lippert Electric Stab jack froze up.
- Slide motor shear pin sheared.
- Shurflo water pump failed.
- Tail and Marker lights filled with water.
Since we're so far from any dealer, I've contacted the Outdoors RV warranty coordinator and had replacement parts shipped out and did the work myself. Outdoors RV has been very helpful with this.
The only issue I've had with the trailer's construction itself has been with the "drip rail" at the bottom of the slide sides. You see it when the slide is open. It should cover the edges of the plywood slide floor, but it didn't on one side so water drips were collecting on the plywood edge. Luckily it's marine grade plywood and sealed with something.
And on the other side, the hollow "drip rail" wasn't sufficiently filled with putty tape, so water would collect inside and eventually drain into the inside of trailer via the "drip rail", wetting the rugs and floor. I've corrected both these problems with polyurethane caulk, but they really should come up with a better design for the slide's "drip rail".
