We’ve had our LaCrosse for just about a year. (Nov. 6th) We have had a few minor problems, but nothing major and not anything that either I or my dealer and Prime Time didn’t quickly take care of.
I just winterized this past weekend and went over everything (DIY PDI ) just in case I needed to get any warranty work done before it expires. I couldn’t find anything wrong and everything worked as it should.
My DW and I really enjoy this tt. I don’t have any reservations recommending a Prime Time trailer and I would definitely purchase another if/when I decide to buy again.

We love our LaCrosse (318bhs), and it has had few problems, and those that we had were fixed without drama (including one that was probably our fault)

Truly - a RV is made up of zillions of parts (yes, an official count :-)) most by other manufacturers. What makes a good RV is a company that checks out the rigs well, and is there when you need them fixed. Also - a good dealer makes all the difference.

We are just going on our first trip this weekend. Picked up our 296 BHS about 2 weeks ago. There have been just a couple of minor issues which are already scheduled for repair (looks like we picked a good dealer). I have also recieved answers from the folks at Primetime quickly. We researched and drooled over TT's for a little over a year before we decided on the Lacrosse. So far I feel like we made the right choice.

As part of our negotiations with our TT salesperson we got the dealer to add a few extra after market items for our Lacrosse 303; 2 side topper awnings, double battery set-up and a fantastic fan. We are willing to work with any dealership that is willing to work with us, so we will also purchase from the dealership a WD hitch, portable sewage tank, lots of smaller dollar “must have” items and a most likely even a portable generator. Yes PTM does not offer "everything", I don't think any TT company does. Please take the time to evaluate how many features are being offered on a Prime Time unit that are standard issue and not expensive optional upgrades. Try to place your TT order before Oct end to take advantage of the free Touring Edition upgrades.

Very little demand for S/O awnings on TT so we leave it as a "dealer install" item.

Yes, the S/O roofs are angled about 2 degrees.

I wondered about that. It's hard to notice with the naked eye. The slope was obvious on our Keystone.

We opted to not get the slide awnings, but the dealer seemed to think we would have to be scrupulous in making sure *nothing* was on the top of the slides when they came in.

How do people clean the top of their slides? I bought a duster on a tall pole. The duster part can be bent to a 90 degree angle, but it is only about 2 feet long, so my husband has to go up on a ladder to clean the whole thing.

I cannot believe their is not some sort of duster/broom designed for slides, but I have not yet found one?

I crawl up the ladder and sweep it with a broom but I know not everyone can do that. Maybe a small step ladder could get you high enough to at least see if there's anything on it.

We love ours 100%. This is our second TT so we were extremely picky. I had the dealer install our S/O awning because we normally camp in areas where stuff lands on it.
