We thought the Alliance 32rls had everything we wanted for a full time travel living experience. It would have if we were actually able to use our 5th wheel. We purchased our 5th wheel in October of 2022 when it was brand new. We expected some issues like with all new 5th wheels, but not ones that would keep us from using our trailer for months soon after purchasing it. It took 5 months to get the physical license plate for our trailer before we could finally begin full time traveling. We had had a blowout while transporting it to the location we were going to keep it while waiting for our license plate. We spent $1200 on new tires thinking that was the issue. Instead when we went to get the tires changed over before heading out of town once we finally got the license plate we found out there was an issue with all of the leaf springs and they all needed to be replaced and the trailer tires had been rubbing on the underbelly. The company that makes these leaf springs agreed to replace them, but this process has taken 10 weeks at this point when we had planned to be traveling, on top of already waiting for months to begin traveling in the first place. We were living in the trailer while waiting for the license plates and had to replace everything in our fridge on three separate occasions because the fridge had been installed incorrectly with no insulation above it. Who knows what else is wrong with our trailer, we probably won’t find out in time to get it fixed under warrantee because we haven’t been able to travel much with it for the 9 months we’ve had it. Alliance warrantee staff have worked with us to fix these issues and have been pleasant to deal with, but having to deal with outside companies who sell the parts has been a nightmare. We had to order parts from outside companies and pay more to get parts faster, and the parts we have gotten from the actual company were incorrect. Between the poor overall build quality of the 5th wheel and the companies we have to deal with for warrantee work, we wish we would have gone with a more reputable brand when deciding to spend money on a brand new 5th wheel. We really wanted to love this 5th wheel, we spent twice as much as our initial budget because we fell in love with Alliance and thought we could trust their product and team, and they didn’t have many used options available at the time. We took a chance and trusted them and I am very sad that I couldn’t be leaving a happier review, things have just gotten worse and worse since owning this. At this point in time I would not personally recommend purchasing from Alliance, I hope this changes as we extend our trip for another year and maybe we will have less problems when actually using our 5th wheel, if we ever get the chance.
