We bought this 5th wheel brand new in 2021 and travelled in it full time. We loved the layout and the features, but ultimately it only lasted 15 months and about 15k miles. We had the typical trim popping loose and minor issues which were easily addressed. About 5 months in we had our first major issue which was a brake failure. Admittedly not Keystone's fault, and they covered the cost of a mobile tech coming to replace them. We really didn't have any complaints until we hit the 15 month mark when I noticed the floor had a big wave to it from one side to the other. After digging into it, I realized that the cross members had ALL completely failed. Every weld was broken from front to back, so the floor and the hitch was the only thing holding it together. It took 3 weeks of fighting with Keystone, while stuck in a hotel to come to a resolution on the issue. Show less

We bought a new Lance 2285 travel trailer last Fall of 2017. The interior is functional and has a contemporary look. It travels nicely, pulled by a Tahoe. We have experienced problems with the front window above the bed shattering on two occasions. We have no idea why the window shattered, but it had to be replaced twice, forcing us to drive over 240 miles on two trips, rent a hotel room, and spend several weeks with a new travel trailer that we could not use. This is very disheartening, due to the fact that we researched Lance travel trailers very carefully before we bought the 2285. We feel that this window design is flawed, and needs further consideration and more stringent quality control. We are presently trying to find an after- market cover for this window. Apparently, it has to be fabricated for this particular window which is costly and inconvenient. We have heard of similar window problems with other Lance travel trailers. We are hopeful that the Lance people are working to correct this problem. We do like many features of the Lance, the floor plan, the furnishings, the good warranty service, appliances, comfortable couch, walk- around bed, and ample storage to name a few qualities. We did have issues with the electric hitch which had to be recalled, and with the rubber seals in the slide out. As travel trailer owners of Airstream and Arctic Fox models for the past 12 years, we have never experienced so much frustration as we have with this particular Lance 2285. Hopefully, they will solve these issues in the future so other potential customers won't have to deal with this situation. Show less

We've had everything from pop-up campers to a 40' diesel pusher. We finally sold it because it was just too big for folks getting just a little too old to handle a beast like that any longer. Still wanted to travel so we bought a Ford truck and after a lot of shopping, chose the Forest River Wolf Pup 16FQ. This is a great little trailer and just right for us, with a lot a features packed into a small package. We see a lot of folks making a laundry list of petty complaints but these frustrations most often come from people who are first-timers or haven't been in the RV travel game all that long. Literally all RVs, even our diesel pusher, had its share of quirks and issues. It's part of choosing to stay in an RV instead of hotel rooms. With an RV motorhome or towable,learning to become handy is an absolute must. Make sure that you learn about RV electrical and plumbing and inspect those features so if you experience trouble while on the road you can make the repair if necessary. There's typically not an RV center around every corner. Be certain to put together an RV first-aid kit for your rig as well, ie fuses, washers, fittings, heavy duty tarp with tie-downs and a tool set with what you need to make repairs. Don't expect to purchase a lightweight 16ft. towable and act as though it should have been crafted by artisans and ace technicians. It's just not reality, folks. The manufacturing plant is churning out these trailers as fast as possible and if you're lucky, you'll get one without any hiccups. Just don't become frustrated because you bought a $15K trailer and begin inspecting it for flaws. Hook it up, get on the road and forget about the small stuff. It's why you purchased it in the first place. We went over our trailer when we first purchased it and it's built like any of the others on the market so don't forget that you're using it to get away from it all and not bring misery with you on the trip. Did we see imperfections and lack of attention to details when we inspected it? Sure we did. If you're expecting perfection, stay clear of purchasing an RV. If you want to simply buy an alternative form of recreation, get to meet new folks on the RV circuit and kick back with more privacy and self-sufficiency than hotel rooms, then go get yourself an RV rig and have fun. If something breaks, learn to fix it or take it to a dealer while you're on the road or when you get back home. The Wolf Pup 16FQ is perfect for a couple, with or without a couple of small pets or kids. Plenty of bathroom space for such a small package but very functional. Kitchen is just right for the rig and the murphy bed/jackknife couch is ingenious when it comes to function and space utilization. The electric awning is a real treat for a low-end package and perks like the backup camera, outdoor refrigerator and entertainment features, the 4-jack stabilization and storage capacity all make this small RV trailer an excellent choice. Don't forget, however, that regardless of what you're using to tow this rig to invest in a proper weight distribution/anti-sway hitch system. It will be the best money you've ever spent and provide you with the towing safety you will be glad you installed. We'll give the rig a 5 in all categories. We haven't yet faced a warranty issue with this new rig but have done so many times with all of our others. It's just part of the RV world. You work with them to get the issue resolved and move forward. Best advice is to stop all the complaining, get yourself a rig if you want to have some fun and go hit the road. At our age, we're here to tell you that life is indeed short so don't waste it being so negative. Nothing is perfect. RVs are no exception by any means. Go get yourself one and loosen your hatband a notch or two. Show less

To be fair in every possible way - note the dispersion of the ratings above. Floor plan, in concept, was close to perfect (except for poor placement of the generator which was corrected in the following year model). Paint, trim colors and seating - amazing. We bought a Tiffin Wayfarer new. Instead of being able to pick up - we learned it had a recall for a poor wire harness design that wrapped around the driver’s seat stalk (e.g. under the seat) and required regulatory approval since it could, in theory, affect the airbags. At this point, we were ok since it felt safety related and we were understanding. Delay of game, 68 days. Picked up the unit. Learned that the rear camera wire feeds were installed wrong by factory. Drove to Alabama, had a new software upgrade installed and factory removed and reinstalled wire harness. Also had extra solar panel installed. During this time, we also had various pieces of interior trim shortened (they were bowed in and force fit which meant on the first bump they popped out, x3 locations). Some peeling of wallpaper, was fixed by dealership with glue, no biggie. Delay of game, 5 days (detour out of the way). Lights and electrical go out in Texas. Discovered when the factory installed the extra solar panel, they forget to tighten the battery cables - found repair guy in Louisiana, $100 cash to troubleshoot. Called factory more than frosty. Delay of game, 1.5 days. Drive to Colorado/Utah. Turns out a mud flap connection bolt head poked through the bolt hole allowing the mud flap to slip down - rubbing on the tire - and vaporized the mud flap into the shower compartment, meaning we had a rubberized soot coating the shower stall. This was not clearly tied to the mud flap but eventually we figured it out. At first we thought it was exhaust soot but found the mud flap with a U shaped wear. Went to Home Depot, used a drill and got a bigger bolt with a washer head. Replaced all of the mudflap bolts with a washer (so they wouldn’t pull through the rubber). Delay of game, 1.5 days total troubling shooting and then installing fix by self. Arrive into Utah. Noticing flaking of the undercarriage. Turns out the model which was listed as 2021 was a chassis that was 2019. Rust flakes were coming off in the generator compartment. The design of the generator was directly under the rear twin bed. It felt like a cheap hotel where your bed would shake if you put a quarter in. Note, this design was fixed in the next year model and the generator was moved towards the front of the unit. We later found out there is a recall on the tow hitch - it can disconnect spontaneously due “undersized bolts”. And the tire valve stems were recalled, they could spontaneously blow out. Did I mention the high quality paint job ? The quality of the paint - all of it is perfect. The layout is beautiful. The aesthetics are amazing. The engineering…not so much. Made it to Utah. Took pictures of coach in front of Zion. Looked amazing (both the part and the camper). Headed back to hometown. The cabinet which houses the sanitary drains had a handle which failed. That handled is coated with paint and Tiffin fedexed a repair handle (which is locking) in record time. Driving around meant that periodically that cabinet door would fly open. Zip tied it shut and then used wire snipers to remove zip tie when draining gray water/black tanks and then reinstall fresh zip tie. We fixed everything and made the coach perfect. Made sure every single issue was perfect and repaired. Sold it and bought an airstream. Not a single problem with the airstream ever. Rock solid. This is a great franchise with superb design. The ability to build units is beyond disappointing. Show less
