Travel Lite (Falcon) - Decent Manufacturer???

[henkew]

I'm looking to buy my first Camper Trailer. I like what I see with the Falcon 23TH (Toy Hauler). Travel Lite is a small, newer company and I'm nervous about making such a large purchase without a long, solid track record. I've read a few negative stories, but then, those are the types of things that people post. I do the same... I'm more apt to complain that sing praises. They seem to take great care of customers who can make it in to their factory for warranty work, but since I live in the Pacific Northwest, that ain't gonna happen.

I'd love to hear any stories of Travel Lite trailer owners. I'm hoping there are some good ones out there... I'd like to thing this unit is going to last for years and years and years....

Thanks!

I'd guess everyone has plenty of not nice stuff... There has to be some happy customers out there? Somewhere?

It has a wet bath. Do you know what that is and are you willing to wipe it down after every shower?

The BBB website says they have been around for 20 years. I'm guessing that is going back old owners? When did the R Vision thing happen... maybe that is why I'm confused? Any idea how long the current version of Travel Lite has been around? Maybe the Falcon line is what is new...

There have been many RV manufacturers that went belly up after only 2 or 3 years.
The brand Travel Lite used to belong to R-Vision, which went belly up a number of years ago.
Pilgrim International is a good example. Founded by former employees of a big RV manufacturer. They stated they wanted to make their RVs right. 2 years later they shut down, creating another orphan brand.

Have no experience with Travel Lite....
But I do have lots of travel trailer experience...I will tell you that even if the company has been around for a long time, there is no guarantee that you will get a trouble free unit.

If you want it to last for, "years and years," the key is constant maintenance.

Good luck with your choice.
