2011 Serrano w Maxxforce front diesel

[Dick_Hooper]

Conflicted on this Class A unit. Excellent floor plan with large pass through belly storage( like a fifth wheel).
Need feedback from those knowledgeable on this unit with front diesel. Issues, maintenance , towing a toad....
Tried searching topic.
Lemon or not?

Thank you for your input, we decided against it.

We had a 2011 Serrano. We bought it brand new and had nothing but trouble with it. It got so bad, I was afraid to take it on a trip. We traded it in after about 16-18 months. We may have had a lemon, and you may get the peach. The dash AC went out on the way home after we bought it. The complete hydraulic leveling system had to be replaced, I could go on and on but won't.

Our friends have a 2012 35' and did have a lot of issues at first (wiring, awning and the step cracked). As far as mechanically, it seems to be a sound unit. The HP is pretty low (235?) but does get them where they want to go. They tow a Honda Fit. They may be interested in selling. Their family has out grown it.

My uncle had a 2010, traded it in last year for a class B

Nothing wrong with engine, up front his ran good
Less noise than some gassers

But on his you could barely open the fridge, unless the slide was out, the horse shoe booth got in the way, blocked the fridge door
Pain in the butt, for the dw to get any cold water, soda etc.. unless they stopped someplace where they could run the slide
Could only reach what was in the door shelves, and only if they were full so stuff could not slight back out of reach

Of course this is all floor plan dependent, so check everything carefully
