My wife and I just bought a 283 GTS triple slide a couple of weeks ago, and love it so far. There are some minor issues with it that we're getting taken care of (some fit and finish things, a shower that won't drain, poor cable reception). Be sure to get the extended 7 year warranty when you purchase. It's well worth it.
We have a 283 gts. our first RV and we really like it but are battling a few problems. We did not purchase the 7 year warranty but maybe we can answer other questions.
