We had the Springdale for 6 months

Yeah...The Springdale we bought was an 05. We used it twice and put it away for the winter. In the spring it had water damage. It was really unfortunate as it satisfied our needs just fine. The Heartland we had was a Northtrail and we purchased it new last year. It came with two bad lippert axles. It never, NEVER tower properly until the axle issue was diagnosed and repaired (replaced) in August. Heartland was a huge dissapointment. Door's fell off (all of them), heater broke, electric portion of the water heater broke, propane detector was defective, rear end dragged constantly on the ground, stabilizer jack motor broke. Front cap had to be replaced as the outside kitchen door did too. The first trip we had the drain for the sink was not hooked up and caused a water issue on the inside of the rig. The outside shower leaked (which I fixed). I understand a few minor issues but these were all major issues. I mean try to drive down the road on two bad axles. It was horrible.

Anyway, these issues soured me to Heartland and my Dealer really sold me on the 31BHPR which we will be picking up in spring. We are campers, love camping and 'normally' do not complain...Hoping the new Keystone only has minor issues that I can deal with easily.
