Our Bayside Elite never required warranty work so I l gave it 5 stars. We bought it new and have been camping with it for 25 years and just can't bring ourselves to sell it even though we have a newer Aliner Expedition. The Aliner takes a few minutes to set up, the Bayside takes over an hour. We take the A Liner on cross-country trips with multiple one night stops and use the Bayside for our weeklong stays at one campground. The Bayside has two comfortable king size beds, and plenty of screens to open so you always have air moving wherever you are in the camper. The slide out dining table is very comfortable for four (we've had six sitting there), the pop out sink and stove work well for cooking and clean-up, the outside stove is potent and boils water very quickly. The interior lights work well and cover the complete floorpan, include the beds. The curtains provide plenty of privacy for each bed. The heater works well; it's always nice to wake up and plant your feet on a warm floor when it's cold outside. It tows easily due to its low height and our Yukon 3.0L diesel gets 19 - 20 MPG pulling it at 70 - 75 MPH (I put 87 MPH rated tires on it so I could drive it at Michigan's 75 MPH speed limits). I follow the Coleman guidelines for annual summer and winter maintenance and everything still works well; the top goes up and down with no issues. The only repairs I've done are fixing an inoperative refrigerator and installing a new axle; I didn't realize we were overloading it when we carried most of our gear for week long camping trips in the camper. I look at new floorpans and don't see anything I like as well as our very reliable and functional Bayside. Show less
