Where are all the Wildcats?

[Mr. Dan]

Yes, we're thankful for it. Texas sun puts the hurt on paint and plastic, especially. Also we had $5500 hail damage on our 2nd trailer before we had the shed.

I am hoping that I may have found someone that will build us one of those this spring,,, I have been looking for a couple of years for someone local here in SW Michigan,,, but have not had any luck !!!

[Mr. Dan]

I bought mine from a dealer 8 miles from my house who sold for TnT Carports of Mt. Airy, NC. TnT sent a crew from their distribution warehouse in Belton, TX about 200 miles with parts for my 2 sheds plus parts for 2 other customers in my county.

Mine is here but this is old foto. I didn't want to get wet as it is raining buckets right now. The other camper now resides at my brother in laws and the concrete is now finished.

Hi Tom, We have 2016 Wildcat 295 RSX and love it, We have taken several trips and so far no complaints, Just wondering what your minor repairs were? and have you had any other problems? We bought ours from Tom Johnson's in Marion NC and are now living in it for the winter months in FL have it parked in a beautiful RV resort in Salt Springs we purchased lot there, Summer home is in Linville NC...............Ken

Ken, we have had the unit almost two years now and have put a lot of miles on it. Perhaps 25,000+. Lots of mostly minor issues that were poor workmanship. FR has taken care of everything so far. Our local dealer in Raleigh, Bill Plemmons, has been great. We bought it there and they have done most of the repair work. We did have a few items fixed at the Goshen rally, including all new brakes. So far none of the issues have kept us off the road. Last summer we were gone 17 weeks and put 22,200 miles on the TV. We remain very happy with this unit and intend to keep it many more years.
I hope you are as happy with your unit.

Living in the U.P. of Michigan I was going to put up a cover for my RV to protect it from snow loads. I had gotten a few quotes for a pole building type construction without the side walls. I had a quote for a 20X40 cover for $8,000 from a contractor. But since I spend winters on Arizona with no snow.

About the same here,,, I got a quote for a 30 by 15 for 8500. all wood and matching shingles to our home & pole barn,,, contractor would not dig the holes for the poles,,, but would help me if I rented a gas powered hole digger !!! He is semi retired and lives very close to us !!!
Way to many $$$$$ for us !!!

very nice !!!

We have a 2016 295RSX and are very happy with it. We bought it two years ago this May. Several small issues mostly fixed myself. FR sent parts through dealer for me to fix. We are currently parked in Fort Myers Beach FL, at San Carlos RV for two months then going to the Keys. This is our longest trip so far as we will be gone three months. From NC.

[GypsiesAtHeart2016]

Right, it's certainly not the most popular brand out there.I don't think I've seen more than 10 Wildcats crossing the country 1.5 times so far. I think I see more Cougars than anything.

We bought a 2014 32 foot 293REX in 10/14 and have been full timing in it for 15 months now. All in all we feel it is a good quality and have had only minor issues and have found a few "shortcuts" taken but we still like it very much.

[18CrewDually]

Beautiful. One thing I have never considered packing yet...... sleds!

[GypsiesAtHeart2016]

We do carry an old beat up snow shovel. I can't imagine why people in FL, TX & AZ think that's funny?

[BobnPi]

Finally got my CAT home from Denham Springs, LA. My niece and family were flooded and I took them my camper to stay in until they could remodel. Parked in their driveway, they hooked up directly to their sewer and power. Missed all fall camping, but were happy to help them. Glad they are back in their home. Waving to OneTonFord. Miss the old forum. Almost forgot, we are in Longview, TX.

[DouglasReid]

Interesting, we bought our Wildcat Sterling from Dixie RV in Denham Springs not long before the flood.
SMALL world!

PS, we LOVE it!
