Have the 29BHS X-lite....what do you want to know?

2008 new, about 7000 miles on it now with an average of 4 weeks a year living in it. It tows very well. We love the decor.

Workmanship is good to adequate. An occasional issue, but you can find that at any price point.

In my eyes it's a good value. For the money the "drive train" is plenty strong enough. The house is very good. There is a lot of "card board and paper maché" though. You have to be careful. Plastic things break, corner trim is fragile, etc. We are very careful, and fix things that break right away. If you have four boisterous kids they will make it look very worn in short order.

Appliances are all good quality. Electrical and plumbing are all holding up well. There was one leaky window due to poor installation, but we took care of that. Other than that it has been water tight. I would NEVER own a TT with the aluminum siding. Waaaayyyy too many places for the caulk to fail.

Would we buy it again? Yes.
