I'll chime in here as i have and am in this same point. We bought what we thought to be a great 5th wheel in 2006. Little did we know that within 2 years it would start falling apart and actually had one wall come delaminated and blow off while heading on vacation. Being the manufacturer dropped the line they were no help, nor was any of the dealers that we dealt with. At this point we still owed about 20K on a loan and the insurance company wouldn't give us money as they determined it was a manufacturer defect. Many arguments later I decided to repair it myself. We spent all summer rebuilding the single wall. Now no one will touch the camper and now the other side is doing the same. We still owe lots of money on it and will most likely rebuild the other side this spring. I recommend to all now to get rid of any camper that is older than a couple years old. If not you are really stuck with it.
