http://www.viewpoints.com/RVs Sat, 28 Jun 2008 22:43:10 GMT Reviews about RVs http://www.viewpoints.com/Jayco-Eagle-RL28-2004-review-47341 From the first day we brought the camper to our seasonal site we had water leaks.  Every holiday we had a water leak either from the hot water tank or a line a joint.  Numerous repairs that ruined our camping experience.  We had a constant propane leak from lines that were run under the tank against the metal brackets.  We had a shower leak from behind the wall from a cut made at the factory that run over the furnace electric board.  The grey water sewage line leaked into the storage compartment.  We had no problem with Jayco paying for repairs but there were way too many. — Our awning was junkie had to rig it so it would stay up. — We liked the look of the Jayco but would never recommend one to anyone.  We have since purchased a new one. — ...

The first one was an easy decision. The last two weren't quite as easy. Perhaps what I have learned over the years will help you. What will help is to give you a brief synopsis on each type of RV and the price range. Just by reading what kinds are out there and how much they cost might help you either eliminate one or put it on your "good possibility" list. — — Some of this repeats Part I. I felt I had to repeat some information to both make this complete and in case you don't read Part 1. — 1. The Pop Up or Tent Trailer is the first one we bought. We had camped with tents for a summer but 4, 7 and 9 year olds it seemed too hard. This was before family style tents. Leaving my two young girls in a tent alone never felt right. We bought our Pop Up used and traveled with it for 6 years. We chose the Pop Up because it was the least expensive, easiest to pull trailer on the market and for the money had...

Style, well built and affordable makes the Winnebago Outlook Class C is a class act. We have a beautiful home but this RV has some ammenities that we don't even have at home! Highly...

O7, we decided to trade up from our 2003 Coachman Mirada, 34' class A to a larger, newer Motorhome.  After doing some research and on-the-lot browsing, we chose a Damon Intruder 383.  This model featured three slides( dining/living super slide, bed silde and wardrobe slide.  Overall performance and comfort of this class A rates a 8.5 out of 10. The only downside we have experienced, is the lack of quality control at the factory.  It would appear that final cleanup and punch lists are lacking.  For example: dozens of left over screws, bolts, wire, construction debris left under cabinets, slides, etc. —      The Damon website is very informative and has many videos available for all phases of manufacture.  There is alot of quality, found in much more expensive rv's, that Damon incorporates as standard features.  Being a Ford fan, we went with the ford chassis and the triton v-10 motor...

We chose the 2006 Sunline Solaris T-2499 (The numbers equal the length so it’s almost 25 feet.) — I will get into the features which in combination with the length made us fall in love with the Sunline. — — ~The T-2499 is 25’ 10" long. That is the exterior length and when buying a trailer the number to which you should pay attention. That number is bumper to hitch. — — ~It is 8’ wide. — — ~The interior height is 6’ 6" high. — — ~The trailer weighs 4785 pounds. (UVW) This is the weight of this trailer as manufactured at the factory. It includes all weight at the trailer axles. — — ~It has a carrying capacity of 7000 pounds. (GVWR) This is fully loaded. — ~It will hold 40 gallons of fresh water. — — ~It will...

Our first one was the Sun-Lite 210-RDB. (RDB stands for rear double bed.) — Some background information: — — One reason we chose the Sun-Lite was because we didn’t want to replace our Chevy S10 truck so the weight of the trailer was a major factor. The second factor was the layout. We liked this one the best in the size and prize range we were looking at. — — Specs: — — We chose the 21-foot trailer. The trailer had everything we needed. — — ~The 210 RBH is listed as 22'2" long - that includes the hitch area. — ~It is 70” wide. — ~The interior height is 6 1/2'high. I know that doesn’t sound high, but one we were in barely cleared my husband’s head and he is 5'10" tall. — ~It has a carrying capacity of 1260 pounds. — ~The tire size is a...
