Looking at buying a Weekend Warrior????

[CherokeeClimber]

Hi all,

We've been researching Toyhaulers and hope to hit the road at the end of the school year. We saw the Weekend Warrior at a show and have been researching it. I know it had frame issues a few years ago resulting in a class action suit.

My question is this: Does anyone here currently own a 2012-2017 Weekend Warrior 5th wheel and what has your experience been with it in terms of quality? Warranty issues? Getting work done in a timely manner?

If not the WW, then who, in your opinion (other than DRV's Fullhouse) has a good quality toy hauler.

Thank you so much for your input. These two teachers here really appreciate you helping to educate us. 🙂

The other toy haulers we are considering are: (in no particular order)

Cyclone CY 4150 - i like the front bathroom model
Cyclone 3800

XLR 380 AMP

Voltage 3970
Tesla 3970

Raptor 425TS, 412TS

The WW is the only model we've seen with a 14' garage though.

Since we will be full-timing, kitchen storage is a must, a decent sized shower (not on the corner), and an east-west bed configuration so we can get cross-breezes. We currently have a TT and I really don't like the north-south bed configuration. I had to flip the head/foot orientation so we could get the breeze across our faces and not our feet.

One of my favs thus far is the DRV Fullhouse model, all the features of a 5th wheel, but with an exorbitant price tag unfortunately.

Welcome to the forums! I'd highly recommend spending some time and reading through various posts, you'll begin to get some idea of common issues and some of the more popular brands that are discussed. Quality is highly subjective, and changes over the years. What was a great product a couple years ago might have issues today. You'll want to do some inspection of your RV when you get close to buying, the key is to do your own PDI (we have help on those) before you sign any paperwork - once you own it then you're dealing with warranty and not with the dealer trying to get out the door.

Thank you! I had no idea of the change of ownership. So far, I've been impressed with the WW's I've seen and was starting to question my own judgement. I'm hoping they will live up to the hype. I watched the video last night where the WW is compared to a Raptor and WW was far and above higher quality (at least according to that one video).

Thanks again for your input. I hope others will chime in as well. Like I said, I'm looking to educate myself and my better half.
