I purchased a 301BLDS Liberty Edition from General RV in 2012 and it has been very problematic. Tons of little issues due to laziness at the factory such as radio and antenna being wired incorrectly, water connections not being tight causing leaks, water pump coming loose, drawer tracks falling apart. A major issue that took several visits to correct was a major water leak while towing in the rain. Turns out they were missing a seal under the slide out. I had a tire blow out when the unit was out of warranty that caused a lot of damage. Upon inspection, it turns out the rear Lippert axle is either underrated or faulty. Of course they blame it on me and say it was overloaded which is NOT the case. Mel Williams of Coachmen refused to help even though it is well known that Forest River puts sub par axles on their units. Lippert did not offer any assistance either. This is not something I would have noticed within the 1 year warranty especially because it was in the shop for so long being repaired! Now I am stuck with a toy hauler that wears tires out prematurely. I would not buy another one of their products and will not recommend them. If Mel Williams or Lippert come through and correct this problem I may change my mind.
