Jim,

I ghosted the many RV forums for years before we finally bought our 5er. One thing I realized very quickly was that there tends to be a predominance of problems, negative comments about a particular brand, and enough fix-it issues to put you off RV'ing forever.

We purchased our unit and thanks to ghosting the forums for years did a very comprehensive PDI (Pre-Delivery Inspection).

To date, we have only had minor issues with our 5er and that's after about 10,000 miles and 4 years on our coach.

All the people that have positive experiences with their RV's rarely post, it's all the problems you hear about.

Glad to hear you had a positive first trip and hope you have many more. Just remember, you now own a house on wheels and since it is exposed to torques, bumps, and many things our stick houses aren't exposed to, problems will develop. But that's why you are here, because we can help you through whatever issues develop and celebrate your good times too
