I'm with ya JEBar what's with the braces on the level up ,I have the lippert 6 point level up on my Montana and it is rock solid without any braces, makes you wonder why they need them and also Other brands just throw in the level up with no extra charge

These comments are obviously from those who don't own an OR.
What has set OR apart and created a stir within the industry is OR's ability to think outside the box. OR came out with the gray color scheme and has done very well. Notice how many lines now produce gray color RV"s?
OR is very innovative. They saw the pros of cable slides and their ability to reduce weight and ran with it. Part of that weight reduction was the reduced beam size. As a result I imagine the smaller beams gave more potential for floor bounce. OR addressed this issue by making JT Strongarms standard on many of their models. JT Stongarms is a premier brand of after market stabilizer.
Or uses a 4 point not six point Lippert level up system.
Again OR is thinking outside the box. They are not building your grandfather's RV.
There innovation is apparent in their floorplans,engineering, interiors and overall color schemes. OR RV have a very distinctive look and feel.
No they are not perfect. In many ways they suffer from the same old quality control issues that plagued the RV marketplace.
We have discussed slide issues. There are poor OR dealerships.There are cheap ST tire issues Some do not like OR interiors or colors, Nevertheless OR has established a name for themselves and are a recognized and imitated name in the RV market.
If you check out the OR forum most owners are very satisfied with their units. In the end OR is not superior to any other RV, but they do build a quality unit (quality is a murky term in the RV industry).
I have had my unit for 3 years and have not encountered any major issues,with slides,frame,stabilizers or anything else.
