I posted a few months ago about looking to upgrade our 2015 Jayco 19FRB to a similar size trailer but with one slide. After hours looking at floor plans, I've found a few that would work for us, from lots of different manufacturers. I've tried looking for reviews and it seems you can find both glowing reports and horror stories for everything, even the really expensive ones. Hard to know what to believe. Does anyone have experience, either positive or negative, with any of the following brands? Winnebago Micro Minnie, Coachmen Freedom E...
'''EVERY RV has one main issue, WATER INTRUSION.
Yep, water leaks from the outside can trash even the highest quality RV ever built in less than a few months.
As a RV owner, YOU MUST BE WILLING TO DO SOME REGULAR MAINTENANCE.
Failure to do this maintenance will result in your RV rotting away.
Roof, side seams, window and door openings NEED to be checked at least ONCE PER YEAR, looking for cracks or bad caulking. Any bad caulking needs to be removed and replaced with new, often means getting on roof or even removing windows/doors frames to do this work..
You need to take this into consideration BEFORE committing to buying a RV. If you can't/won't do this preventative measure on a yearly basis then you are better off forgetting about owning a RV.
Now, that's a good advice. As a newbie, I'll take that with much appreciation.
