Dutchmen ASTORIA 260RK 260RK reviews

We bought this 2024 Dutchmen Astoria 260rk because of the kitchen - it's a 'couples' trailer which suited us for our first Fifth Wheel. The Dutchmen (and I guess really, Keystone) salesperson guaranteed the craftmanship and warranty. One of the key selling points was the rear camera as, given this is our first RV, we were nervous about taking it through the US. The walkthrough at Arrkann was incredibly fast and I wish I had thought to film it. At any rate, our first trip out was over a long weekend and spending time in the RV, I am now shocked at the poor craftmanship - it really felt like the RV was 'slapped' together. Getting warranty work done at Arrkann has been a huge pain as well - I really believe no one there talks to anyone else in the shop. The rear camera worked for about 20 min after we left Red Deer - and hasn't worked since. Dutchmen (Keystone) is refusing to change it out - and the service person at Arrkann said that Dutchmen (Keystone) knew the camera was faulty at the build stage (and apparently, have now removed the camera completely) - yet they let the 2024 RVs with the rear camera be sold at the RV show. It's been a huge learning for us - will never do business with Keystone or Dutchmen again - unfortunately, just driving the RV off the lot cost us $20,000 in resale value. Do the best, most detailed due diligence when shopping for an RV - and don't just check out the manufacturer - check out the RV dealer as well because working with them can be just as frustrating as dealing with all the defects in the RV.
