don't buy an Attitude unless you want a bad attitude

[rockwind1]

just a vent thread. every **** thing on this trailer has broken or needed to be fixed before it broke. are all trailers built as poorly as attitude? if i charged Attitude $15 an hour for my time fixing stuff and parts, they would owe me close to $40,000, i am conservatively guessing

any true toyhauler fifth wheel people on here who have tried a bunch of brands? which one is the built the best?


2007 attitude 34FSAKG

NEVER AGAIN!!!!!

A saying about RV owners you need to be real handy about fixing things or real handy writing checks!

LOL! I bought my 18 in 16... Go figure!

Yes that game needs to stop by gag a government agency. They do this so when the units are older, people buying it used think it is newer. Very deceptive, a year model should be the year it's built and put out for retail.

go checkout Sundowner, ATC, and Livinlite, in my opinion the best out there in that order. If more people start buying these, the mfg's may up their game. Only one problem, price, the better built units cost more, but not much, and actually the ATC is no more than a Winnie TH.

Another thing is some people leave there toy haulers in the desert year round, which absolutely destroys everything in the toy hauler. Again another reason I would never buy a used toy hauler/rv.

Best to buy new, so factory can fix all the issues and you dont deal with the issues. Good luck, this is a good thread it is hit or miss with RVs always do your due diligence, even if you buy new.

I had an '05 38' PlayMor triple axle, dual slide with a 12' garage for about 5 years and never really had any problems with it. Well built IMO.

Eclipse RV is the manufacturer. Attitude and Stellar are separate model names.

Probably just grouping the whole mfg in a basket.

Im still curious when this all started.

Lol. Carry on with the complaining. These are always entertaining.

[rockwind1]

yep, I am ABSOLUTELY complaining. thisw STELLAR ECLIPSE ATTITUDE is a piece of garbage and it shouldn't need anywhere near this amount of work. i've had other trailers.

[lincster]

So you are complaining about a 2007 trailer?

Do you think everything lasts forever?

Trailers need work. I had to replace my fresh water dump valve cause it leaked. I had to replace the drain hoses for the water system, they rotted due to sun and time. Just normal stuff.

Is your trailer stored outside? Sitting outside for 10 years is hard on something.

You do realize that by your numbers, that is 2667 hours worth of work. Which is more than a full time job for 1 year.......
