I agree that it is probably not the best camper on the market, but for the price, we couldn't go wrong. We had it for 9 months and there are a couple cosmetic items that need fixed, but I am thinking that is because it was a show TT that we picked up from the Hershey Camper & RV show. CW is currently fixing some of those issues and didn't give us any hassle about it. Nothing serious has happened yet (knock on wood). All in all, we are happy with it being our first TT and will probably upgrade in about 5 years. One thing, I wished I payed more attention to the TV ratings. I had a F150 Super Crew and it towed it, but it was not comfortable towing it. The 12yo F150 died so I ended up buying a F250 and have no issues at all now (other than getting 7.6 mpg.)Re: Thinking HARD about this trailer?This is pretty much my TT. I have the hideout 26'. Just got it. It is going back for a few fixes, but nice in general. This is our first TT. I wouldn't say that this is the best made on the market, but decent for the price.Re: tank rinse install gone badThe tank is abs plastic. The plasti-mend will work great from the reviews I am reading. I'll try that out and see.Re: tank rinse install gone badThanks for the replies. I think I am going to order some Plastic-Mend and cover the hole and move the rinser. Got to love kicking yourself on easy projects that you screw up...tank rinse install gone badI purchased the tornado tank rinser and started the install process. The supplied hose isn't long enough to reach the far side of my tank so i mounted it on the side. I had to drop the support bar and then after cutting the hole and installing it, I discovered the support bar is in the way of the rinser. To make it work, I would either cut and weld an additional support to the support bar, remove the rinser and repair the hole (find another installation point), or plug the rinser and forget the whole thing. What would you do?
