2004 Terry Quantum Fifth Wheel quastions

Hello there RV world!! My wife and I are looking to buy our first 5TH wheel. We are looking at the Terry Quantum. Does anyone know how well they hold up? I know Fleetwood is no longer making towables, so I didn't know if I should stay clear of them. Its in pretty good condition, just needs a few cosmetic fixes and tires. The owner said everything works but he is unsure if the hot water heater works off LP, he said he always uses electric.

So any and all information would be great to know.
Thanks
  • I did really like the Quantum, maybe we will have to look at it again and go over every nut and bolt and craw under it. I do also like the Wildcats.
  • We had a 2005 28ft Terry Quantum. We usually travel at least once a month. Had the unit for 4 years and NEVER had a problem.
  • I don't want to completely discourage you from the Quantum. They are a very well designed units, just lacked quality. Like I say when we traded the 04 for the 07 we felt like we had all the problems fixed on the o4. We were just after the upgrades. If it has not been abused it should serve you well. Just my after thought.
  • Well I want to buy something I can enjoy and not work on all the time. If the frames are not the best, thats something I can't fix.

    We we're also looking at an 03 Keystone Laredo, It just didn't have the storage the Terry had. But fit and finish is was nice.

    What we're looking for is a bunk house in the 30-33 foot range and for under 18K.

    Thanks for he info
  • We had an 04 Terry Quantum 38.5 ft. Many repairs the first 2 years then it got better. 07 we traded the 04 for an identical Quantum except it was much nicer. Only problem lots of problems expecially with the Lippert Frame, and how they mounted the axles. We traded for a 2011 Cameo and was shocked how much better it was built. My 04 had a terrible looking frame. Crawl under and make sure it does not have any breaks. Over all we enjoyed these units and really felt we had probably fixed most of the repairs on the 04. Not sure about the 07. I would not tell you not to buy it, especially if you are a handy man. We enjoyed the units, but got tired of repairs.
