As a full-time camphost, I purchased this trailer, set it up and lived in it for 10 days. When I went to move it, a motor on one side of the slide had died. After much back and forth with the dealer and manufacturers (months!) the dealer finally came and got it, took it to the plant in Southern California and fixed it. Every screw on the unit is too short. Cabinet door hinges come off in my hand. The sink leaks, the windows all stick and my roof looks just like the other person said, like a child playing with caulk. My only other complaint, beside shoddy workmanship, is that the TV is located behind the bathroom door and the “lounge chairs” are at the other end of the trailer. I need to drag a chair into the kitchen to see tv! I would be hard pressed to use this manufacturer again. Show less

Overall the floorplan is great. It easily fits that family. The quality is not very good. There are items mounted crooked, the water pump was not hooked up (in fact I had to unscrew it from the floor and move it so the hose would reach), the underbelly has already ripped and needs replaced, the hydraulic to reposition the canopy will not hold, the LED lights under the camper do not work. I have only owned the camper from a little more than 3 months and took 3 different camping trips. I have call the dealer several times and get little or no response. They gave me the wrong keys, it took 4 phone call and 3 week until I received the correct keys. I called them about the pump and they never called me back. Overall while the camper has nice features, the layout is similar to other manufacturers, I would suggest to buy a different brand. Show less

We purchased this trailer for our family of 6 and a dog and we love I it. This is our first trailer and we wanted to ease into the camping scene. This is a great beginning trailer. The features are not overwhelming or complicated. We started out at local camp grounds and gradually increased our distance. Eventually, we took a cross country trip from Tennessee to California visiting attractions in between for 3 1/2 weeks last summer and it held up to four children under the age of 10, our 2 year old fur baby Lab mix and my husband and I. Looking forward to making more memories. Show less

Bought a new camp trailer this year. We really like the floor plan, and is a very enjoyable camper to stay in...when it works. We have had a terrible time with this brand new camper. Awful craftsmanship, leaks in plumbing, wiring problems, multiple propane hose leaks, screws falling out, front diamond plating needed re secured, bathroom shower faucet fell off the wall, speakers needed replaced, bath room door would not shut, kitchen drawers would not stay shut, front stabilizer jack needed repaired, awning was torn and needed replaced, I'm sure I am forgetting something. Seems like every time we use it, we need to take it to the dealership for repairs. I would recommend another brand, wish I had. Never would have guessed a new camper would be such poor quality.
