Canyon Trail - Don't Buy

[rsands22]

Others have mentioned they haven't seen a lot of Canyon Trails on the road, don't know if this is the reason but this is a list of problems I've had with mine: Door lock wouldn’t work, had to grind out bigger hole in door jamb. Later, had to replace the keyboard for the electronic door lock.
Wipes on slides do not go out when slide is opened. Have to push them with stick to go out.
Gulfstream couldn’t tell me how to sanitize the potable water tank.
Numerous trim pieces had to be re-secured inside trailer.
Can’t adjust air flow to burner on stove, best answer, let it burn with yellow flame.
Ceiling fan/vent had water leaks. Trailer running lights on back had water leaks. One side window had a water leak. Roof leak over the front closet. I had to caulk all of these places since these problems showed while we were out of town.
Found staples above refrigerator slide were scraping the roof on the slide, digging a groove in the roof material. Had to have them cut or removed, dealer did the work.
Electric heating on hot water didn’t work, needed a thermostat.
Shower had numerous leaks around base.
Water leaks into basement from shower.
Laminate siding on bathroom door is pulling away from door frame.
Bolt on crossbar of mechanism that puts trailer feet up and down sheared off.
Venetian blind by kitchen sink had to be replaced.
Second slide scrapes across the linoleum.
Pin holding side support to steps fell out; shortly thereafter another pin fell out.
Carpet edge was tearing away from carpet.
The material covering the lounge chairs is cracking.
None of the waste tank indicators works correctly.
Dealer had to replace black tank, a 2 inch screw from the flooring was screwed into the tank.
Dealer’s repairman found shop towels in black tank after draining it.
Water safety electric outlet had to be replaced, lost one electric circuit.
Both sink faucets had to be replaced.
Awning and awning motor had to be replaced.
Currently replacing a slide wipe that is tearing.
Currently trying to get the factory to fix a manufacturing defect: Found out nose insulation was not installed all the way to the roof. Bedroom gets hot when sun shines on it and have had to use a lot of heat to keep the bedroom warm when it’s cold outside. This has reduced advertised R-14 insulation to about R-1.

One hit wonder. They made their complaint and probably won't be back.
I'm sure it made them feel better. I'd also be upset with those problems.

Being a first time poster does not make his problems any less important. I would not be a happy camper with all those problems either. Welcome to the forum and hope you get your problems resolved.

Did you actually check this thing out before you purchased? I bought my trailer used, the seller gave me plenty of alone time to check EVERYTHING out that I wanted!
I know some things happen after repeated use, But heck, If I found at least three of those problems I would walk!
Fix what you can and sell it or trade it in on something else, and for gosh sake,,check EVERYTHING out!
If this was new at what point can you claim the Lemon law on it?

I have a Gulf Stream Ridgeline and have been very pleased with it.
They are close enough to the factory I would have been camping in the parking lot till I was satisfied .

Ha with all those issues it sounds like the RV never left the dealership.

How long have you had it and how much use has it had? That's a lot of stuff but all the leaks are not good.
