Quality with Thor Products vs Loving the Floorplan?
We own an 2011 Dutchmen Aerolite and love it until the roof had a leak this summer but we failed to get on the roof (to big a fall risk for us) or have our dealer check it out for a year and a half. I got scared when I saw a Facebook page that warned people of the quality of any trailer made by Thor Industries which the Aerolite and Cougar are made. There are claims about warranty work not being honored to poor customer service. I searching for our next trailer we really liked the Cougar's floorplan but gun shy now. I am wondering how many people out there do not have issues with these trailers?4.2KViews0likes17CommentsRe: Cougar versus Aerolite is there really any difference?

Thank you ScottG, that puts my mind to rest since we are going on another trip this weekend. Funny but my husband wasn't worried (and I thought he was) and I was the one panicking. Anyway we have larger 6 ply tires on now even though they are Chinese :( since USA RV tires are non-existant.329Views0likes0CommentsTrailer Tires Appear to be Out of Line?
Last month we had a blow out of a tire on our 3 yr old Dutchman Aerolite 24 ft trailer. The rim was not damaged and since then we have had all the tires replaced. When looking at the tires (2 per side) the rear tire on both sides appear to be sticking out farther than the tire to the front at times. We have noticed this ever since the blow out but are looking at them more critically now too. Today just as we were pulling away from the tire store they stopped us thinking something was wrong as well but by the time we got home the tires lined up perfectly. My question is are the tires supposed to give a little since all the twisting they go through when backing up, turning sharply? We drove over 300 miles without a problem. I do the majority of the towing and my husband says the tires have always done this while backing up etc.1.3KViews0likes8Comments
