You might also check the Impact toy haulers as Keystone seems to be running pretty good at the moment. They also offer a 2 or 3 yr warranty on models manuf after 11/17.

Yup we love our Impact, and we also had another Keystone product before this one (Raptor bumper pull). I'm not going to say it's the best quality, but it's a lot better than many based what I've heard from other makes.

We haven't had it quite a year yet. The front air conditioning unit broke already (of course while boondocking for 8 days in 90 degree temps over the 4th of July out in the middle of nowhere), and it took nearly 3 weeks to get Keystone to authorize the replacement under the warranty, but they did replace it.

There have also been a few other minor repairs we've had to have done, such as the seal above the microwave exahust vent on the outside wasn't done on the top of the vent, so we had some water come in during a rainstorm, and one of the ceiling speakers in the living room wasn't screwed in all the way, so it came loose while traveling, and then got stuck in the slide because it fell down behind the decorative wood trim piece on the slide wall. Also there were some staples sticking up from the carpet in the bedroom. Again, nothing major, just annoying, and probably will happen on any rig these days. I can't also say enough about finding a good dealer close to home if at all possible, we've had a good experience with ours.

Forgot the biggest QC issue we had.... they swapped the labels for the black and gray tanks. That combined with us not knowing there was a second gray tank with the valve left open, located under the slide, made for a really eventful first dump. We pulled the cap to attach the dump hose and tons of water came pouring out since the rear gray tank valve was opened without us knowing At the time, we thought it was the black and my husband freaked out and I had to jump in to put a bucket under it and get the lid back on, all while thinking it was the black water.

A few days later we discovered the valve labels were switched and it was just gray, but I had to give myself a good wipe down with lots of lysol wipes before I got in the truck to continue home that day since we thought I was covered in black water LOL (funny now, notsomuch back then).

Not trying to push you one way or the other. I bought a grey wolf 26rr in June of last year. Took it out 7 or 8 Times. Not my first trailer. Owned several before this. Anyways long story short is that toilet kept clogging. My dealer told me there wasn’t enough gap between where toilet pipe drops into black tank. Dealer sent request off to forest river they said this was as per design. And there was no fix for this. Dealer had no reasonably priced options to fix this. Wouldn’t even give me fair trade to get different trailer. Traded for pretty big loss for Jayco. They might not be any better but I’ve been stuck by forest river once. Thought I’d share my experience.

Very true... and sort of my point... the biggest issue we've had is not that big of a deal at all! [emoticon]
