Do you like your FR

Just wondering how many actually like there FR, TT, pop-up, 5er, MH.
I know we had bugs in ours but I fixed them all and made some mods and we love our. I just hear problems people are having and not enough fun we are having with our campers.
I sleep in ours in the yard if I can't go anywhere and use up my free electricity LOL. We love ours!!! I like making it 65 deg. in it with the A/C on and a blanket over us watching a movie when it 95 or 100 deg. outside!!! Make me feel like I'm up north somewhere instead of in Texas. LOL

We've been quite pleased with our new EVO. A few niggling things, but nothing to take it to the dealership, yet. Just making a list and will take it in off season.

Getting some of the final bugs out of my 2801QS. Except for the industry-wide poor workmanship, the coach is great.

I've always loved my FR but it been pretty much problem free from the start.

Yes, we still love our 2010 Sierra 5th wheel. Plan on keeping it for quite some time. Got it to just about where we want it as far as upgrades and modifications go.

We love our Puma 295kbh. But I believe that they're ALL good until they break!

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one that acts like a kid when I see my 5er waiting on me to get home. Just wished I could take it down the road more to another spot.

We love our solaire 267bhsk. We had a couple issues but the dealer was very quick to fix. We have spent over 30 nights in it so far. We are at Myrtle Beach travel park with it now. People laughed when they heard I was pulling from Wv to here. But it pulls like a dream. Would by one again in a heart beat.

My last motorhome was a 1986 Tioga Arrow class C (Fleetwood). Comparing that to my new FR Forester Class C is like comparing a DC3 to a 767! I'm impressed with the overall fit and finish of the Forester. Yes, there are a couple minor issues but they are things I can take care of myself. I don't care what brand RV you buy - go spend 1/2 a million dollars on a Prevost, you're still going to have gremlins in it somehow.

Ours is new but we're looking forward to years of service and years of miles all over the country with ours. I was stuck in a construction zone a few days ago and a guy pulled up in the left lane and put his window down, he hollered over to tell me it was a nice looking rig. Usually in traffic like that people are trying to run you over to get one space ahead of you so that made my day!

We have a FR Wildwood X Lite 281QBXL for me, the wife, the son, and the dog. We LOVE it. We just bought it this season and have had it out for 4 trips for a total of 14 nights so far and total of 550 miles traveled. It's breeze to set up and tear down, it is comfortable, and has all that we need. It's not small, but not huge. I looked at several different trailers and kept coming back to this particular trailer. It was a little less than the rest price wise, but had more features. It's been great to us so far and with 4 more trips planned this season covering about 900 miles and 13 more nights I can't wait to get out on my next trip!

We have had a few issues but they were minor for the most part. Fixed a few myself and the bigger ones the dealer handled. We are in our second year with our Flagstaff 5er and we still love it.

So far after getting everything fixed it's nice , still say they need better QC at the factory so we don't spend the first year in the shop getting things fixed that shouldn't have gotten out the door at the factory .
