Thats a loaded question, because if you stay away from FR...you are eliminating a large amount of RV's...FR makes so many different lines! But bottom line...yes I would..have had 2 different FR products so far....has there been issues?..Sure there has but nothing that caused big headaches. They all have their issues, just part of the industry.

Went from a Salem TT (FR) to the XLR TH (also FR.) Once we decided we wanted a TH, the wife and I narrowed the list down to about 12 different models, from various manufacturers--FR, Keystone, KZ, and Dutchman. In the end, we stayed with the FR product because it had all the features we wanted, was the right weight, and the best bang for the buck.

Yes, this is my second one. Do you think that the other RV makers are any better or is it just the industry?

Love or hate it

Yes I think some manufactures build better than others but it is kinda get what you pay for to mixed in the entire industry put out a lot of crap and that's the way it will always be as long as they can sell without making changes we the buyers reinforce this as we buy as quick as they make them

We would buy another one !
Had some issues but FR stepped up and the factory did more than we had asked for. And have given non FR dealers the ok to take care of some of the items after the warranty had run out.

We bought a 29' Wlldcat maxx in 2014. After using it for a year we decided we wanted a trailer with 2 chairs as well as a couch so we bought a 2016 Wildcat maxx 33' unit. Are we pleased with FR--ABSOLUTELY, that's why we spent 10's of thousands of $$ over the past couple of years! We couldn't be more pleased and just as a passing note--we've owned 12 RV's during the past 25 years including 3 DP'ers so we do have quite a bit of experience in this matter.

Had a Rockwood 5th wheel we bought new that was a lemon. Must have been built late on a Friday.

FR was behind us all the way with warranty work. We had almost $0.0 out of pocket. So we traded it for another FR product due primarily to the great customer service we received from FR.

This Wildcat fiver has been great so far (+/- 7,000 miles).

We are solid FR customers and will be forever.

I would not hesitate to buy another FR. In fact, we're debating selling the Surveyor and going to a FR class C
