    Persistent Quality Issues in New Winnebago Motorhomes: Is Change Needed?

    Winnebago does a final factory inspection of newly manufactured motorhomes. Then the selling dealer does another inspection. I've bought two new Winnebagos and in both cases there were significant issues that weren't caught. Not only that, but there were some things that had to be repaired over...

    When Did Montana RV Quality Start to Decline?

    My 2011 Montana 3400rl caught fire (refrigerator) and it is totaled. We really like this model and floor plan. What year do y'all thing the quality started declining. I'm thinking around 2015, but what do I know.

    Common Quality Concerns with New 2025 38FBR: Mattresses, Recliners, and Materials

    My wife and I just bought this camper in November and we like it very much. I recognize that no camper is going to be exactly as we would like but there are some quality issues that we thought there shouldn't be with a $100,000 camper. The seat cushion in the outside recliner in the sectional...

    Quality of Older Lance Travel Trailers

    Hi all, In my search for a lightweight travel trailer, I've found a listing of a 2013 Lance 1575. I know that Lance is considered a relatively high quality brand, but I am not very familiar with them, and am curious if folks have experience with the quality of their trailers around this 2013...

    Dear Winnebago

    In the summer 2024 I was browsing the internet for Winnebago Adventurer 35F motorhomes. This was a floorplan I had always liked. The bath and a half, front dropdown bunk, no slide out protruding into the outside canopy area, the wet bay not under a slide out. At this time we had a 2012...

    ORV Interior quality issues

    I watched no shortage of factory YT vids on how great their quality is. Just not seeing it. Every trip results in a list of chickenshit issues. The three 'lockable' drawers are a joke. I have adjusted and shimmed them multiple times and have tried to put as little weight in them as possible...

    Airstream, what the heck man.

    My wife and I purchased a 21 Bambi 22FB beginning of summer to move our family to a new job in DC from Seattle. I've wanted an Airstream since I was a kid and I wanted my kids to have the experience I never did. Long story short the shower was not properly installed from the factory and leaked...

    Mattress on a 16ML

    We just purchased an Imagine 16ML. When we went to make the bed there was a 8 inch hole where the stitches were not into the fabric. When looking it over this is the cheapest mattress. Has anyone else found this mattress to be poor quality

    I use Mudflap a lot for discounted diesel fuel. However, mudflap does not affiliate with the major truck stops like Flying J, LOVES, etc... So Im having to use TA, Road Ranger, Marathon, etc... Does all or most diesel fuel originate from the same refineries and is the fuel from the mudflap...

    Thor Quality

    Buyer BEWARE!!! We bought a new 2023 Aria and have put 8000 miles on it. Lots of problems, but the one one that makes me SCREAM is the pleather is de-laminating - yes peeling. It's going to cost thousands to have reupholstered

    Isata 5 Extreme vs Isata 6: Ride Quality, Ground Clearance, and Layout Tradeoffs

    We are very close to pulling the trigger on a new Isata, but we are torn between the 5 Extreme and 6 models. We love the look and functionality of the Isata 5 Extreme, but we prefer the layout of the new Isata 6 31KS over either of the Isata 5 models (bedroom door, opposing seating, etc.)...

    Lots of problems with a 2022 Keystone Cougar 355FBS fifth wheel

    I purchased a new 2022 Keystone Cougar 355FBS from Camping World in Feb 2022. Due to health problems, my wife and I were unable to use it in 2022 and 2023. It wasn't until 2024 that we were able to use it (we used it 2 times in 2024). We have used it twice in 2025. We have had a number of...

    Where to get good bodywork done on my 19ft Bambi Airstream ?

    Hey to all you experienced Airstreamers out there! I’m a newbie who did a cross country road trip and banged up the body of my 19ft Bambi travel trailer. Most of the problems were with backing up (after the backup camera stopped working, and trouble maneuvering in narrow streets). The result...

    We are in the market again for another coach. We don't buy new, just slightly used. We have only owned Tiffins and Newmars so far. Specifically looking at 2022 - 2024 American Dream 42'. Does anyone have experience comparing quality to a Newmar Dutch Star?

    So we went to Red Bay....

    Hello again fellow Tiffin owners! Maybe you remember that last year about this time I posted about the many issues we were having with our 2024 Allegro Bus 40 IP and asked whether we should go to Red Bay to have them addressed. At the same time in a separate post I asked for recommendations...

    Quality in general

    David Plowden is one of the USA’s great photographers. My interest in his works was railroads. Another of his books is A Handful of Dust: Disappearing America. Here's some commentary about it: "Since making his earliest documentary photographs in the 1950s, David Plowden has honored those...

    American Coach Newer American Dream Quality?

    Can anyone tell me about the quality and workmanship of late model American Dreams. 2020-2024? We have had several Newmars and Tiffins, but are not very familiar with the REV/American Coaches.

    Quality Newmar vs Tiffin vs American Coach

    So far we have owned 12 coaches, all Tiffins and Newmars. Our last coach was a 2018 Phaeton and our current coach is a 2022 Dutch Star. We have been mostly happy with both brands and there are things we like and dislike about each. Newmars service center seems to be a notch above Tiffins, but...
