As much as I'd like a Skyline forum, I don't think we need one. Most TT problems and solutions transcend brands and manufacturers (Skyline has like a dozen brands all selling the same models). If we just stuck to a Skyline only forum, we'd miss many ideas, and certainly many fixes, as they seem to be one of the most reliable and better built of the mid-priced units. We'd just have fewer problems to complain about.
I also asked the factory for drawings for the rear wall to install a ladder, and they sent me the entire drawing package. You cannot beat that. They also responded to my email about a wiring problem I told them about. So that shows that we don't lack factory support.
If / when I ever upgrade to a newer or larger unit, I will definitely look for skyline first. My travel trailer owning friends all have skylines, and we didn't plan it that way.
I have made a lot of changes but not because of problems, but because the investment in the upgrades were worthy of this trailer and a tribute to it's overall quality.
My only peeves are the undersized (to my specs) 12V main battery cables, and all the sawdust and shavings behind the panels you never see until you take something apart.
A few Hmmm... why did they do that questions, (like putting the water heater at the back of the coach 10 ft away from the shower when it fit perfectly in the bathroom cabinet space you couldn't access easily anyway, (It's there now) and why does the back wall have fiberglass insulation instead of the solid foam like the side walls. (I cut a 4' x 4' hole in it to add a big cargo door.)
Why is the furnace on the curb side when it should be on the other side so it's exhaust isn't under the awning next to the door that should open the other way so it does not hit the awning...
