We recently bought a 2014 OR Roamer 288FLR in August, and just completed our fourth trip last week. It has been a huge jump in quality from our 2008 Rockwood. The only warranty issue besides a loose screw has been a recall on the slide switches; they seem to work fine but will be replaced. Also, some design genius decided that those stupid swoosh decals should go across windows, but that will be easy enough to peel off in hot weather. The beefed up insulation has worked well in hot weather (100+) and cold weather (25 last Monday). It is heavier and 4.5 feet longer, but seems to track and maneuver better than our 29' Rockwood. We did a lot of research before buying this one. Aside from some of the common issues involved in almost all RVs (Hisense? TV, Jensen stereo, off-brand tires, sporadic delamination reports that happen with any RV except aluminum skinned units), we happily settled on the Roamer with the floorplan we love.
That's our experience so far. In five years or so, I'll have a better feel for the Roamer's durability.
We just bought a 2015 OR 288flr Thursday and really enjoyed reading about your experience with your 288flr. We love the floor plan and hope to travel with it soon.
