5th wheel recommends
If you continue to read the discussions on these RV forums (there are over a dozen) you will find every brand and type of RV being praised by one person and cursed by another.
No matter how "good" a certain brand of RV is, there will always be a lemon in the production line somewhere..
In my opinion it's not the name of the RV that counts,,, it's the name of the dealer...
If the dealer has a good name and reputation for taking care of it's customers then you have found the right RV to buy.
I have owned several "brands" of RVs and had good luck with all of them.
Fleetwood, Pace Arrow, Prairie Schooner, Ideal, etc:::
I have read about some folks bad mouthing Fleetwood products, but for every one of those complaining, there is an equal number of people bragging about their Fleetwood.. I'm one of them....
If you buy a bag of apples and find one apple rotten, are you going to throw the entire bag of apples away and bad mouth the person who owns the orchard ?
Fleetwood is as good as any brand on the market, no better, no worse,, but just as good.
I presently live full-time in my 1995 30.5 foot Prowler 5th wheel and am happy as a clam... Bought it second hand two summers ago and have had absolutely no problems with it at all..
So,, I'd suggest looking for a reliable dealer and don't worry about the brand name so much... happy RVing,
John
