Issues with 2015

We bought a 2015 31KQBTS in June 2015.

Used 5 times total for about 30 days.

Last time out - speakers don't work, holders for dinette broke, track for bedroom door broke, floor getting low spots, slide outs not working correct, and a water leak in outside kitchen. Not to mention what looks like popped studs.....this normal for a 3 year old camper?

That wouldn't be unusual for a new RV, let alone a three year old entry-level TT.

Did you buy from a dealer or private party?

So should I just try to repair myself or take to dealer?

Is all brands like this as far as quality?

Wildwood is an entry-level brand, as are most stick and tin trailers.
So quality MAY be not as good as higher levels.
But higher level lines may also have some quality issues.

I definitely would talk to the dealer and see what they'll do.

Not knocking stick and tin trailers though.

Most of those items are the norm for these low end trailers. You need to make sure a water leak is not damaging your floor. I would talk to the dealer or FR about the wall stud, that could be major.

They can't be too bad, cause a lot of the issues posted out here are coming from some high end Coaches, 5th wheels and TT's.
