What didn't I like about our BF:
I am quite satisfied with our 2010 BF, because it was custom-built to our unique accessibility needs.
I'm also very satisfied with the company's focus on quality, with extensive testing before the unit leaves the factory. To me, the water chamber test just means that it's proven that it overcomes the leakage problem -- when it leaves the factory!
The problem with leaks is that, once you take ANY coach on the road -- regardless of whether it's a fiberglass, aluminum on wood, or any other construction -- it will shake, rattle and roll. Over time, without the proper maintenance, any joint has the potential to leak.
BF's 3 year warranty includes leakage coverage, so they'll repair any leaks that may occur. How many other builders will warrant theirs for that period?
What I dislike about the current BF models:
3-4 years ago, the company made a pivot to "modernize" up their interiors with newer designs. However, although these are fancier, they often create problems for "older" owners (the historic RV audience) with poorly contrasting switch labeling and overly complicated technology (Firefly RV-CAN control systems on an iPad, RiverPark dash entertainment systems, etc.).
It must be the modernizing that turns the wife and I off totally. But I asked and recieved the answer I was wanting to hear that THEY will install the brass hardware I purchase to be installed. That modernistic brushed stainless hardware leave me cold....and the interior lights....geeze!!!
