I regretting selling it about 5 seconds after the ink dried. Since then, I owned a class A and a travel trailer. The trailer was a piece of caca. Literally spent 1/3 of the first year I owned it in the shop. The second year the leaf springs failed.
What kind of problems? Defective electronics, suspension (in addition to the springs) and a fit and finish you’d expect from a Homer Simpson project. the class A was much older….and overall was good quality build. But the maintenance it required, combined with 5MPG mad it about as enjoyable to own as a gum scraping.
Every time you took it out, you were caulking something, or replacing something that broke (old plastic) or chasing down a loose wire so you could put out or worse pull in a slide. The only high side is, I know Rv systems now. Well enough, I’ve considered doing it commercially. With the exception of delamination, and slide out repair, very little scares me. All the big rigs are built by the same low attention to detail…it all looks hard…but it really isn’t.
What I can say, is that the CI build quality is absolutely the best….no one does it the way they do. No one. Even the legendary airstream is build using corner cutting techniques.
I know my old serial was in the 520 range….516 I think. Would be funny if my new serial number was 1016
