NTPA Announcer Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 We are in the process of finding a new camper ( Not a TH) in the 40' + range. It doesn't have to be a 2018, a 2017 - 16 would be just fine. I've looked at Redwood and seem to like them a lot. Also Cedar Creek as well. Pros and cons on these aaaaannnnnd GO !

Hi Denver, Good luck with your search.Please read up on Jim's thread about his new trailer. Be ready to do some maintenance on wheel bearings and brake pads. Seems like there is a lack of quality control when building an RV.

Alie&Jim's Carrilite Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 Denver- Pro's- Most will have better insulation than what you currently have and are more energy efficient with LED lighting etc. Con's- They are still built by people that are paid by the piece... No quality control.... and mainly Lippert- LCI owned part suppliers. An idea... If you have your total number in your head that you want to spend, Look on RV Trader, and RVT.com for lightly used units.

Alie&Jim's Carrilite Posted September 6, 2017 Report Share Posted September 6, 2017 Redwood has been around a long time. Thor owns them, Find their owners group or forum and see what folks complain about most.

rynosback Posted September 6, 2017 Report Share Posted September 6, 2017 My wife liked the Redwood, but we ended up buying a DRV Mobile Suites. We were able to do a lot of custom changes on it. Plus it has a fully boxed frame (not an Ibeam) and Moryde IS suspension. 2015 Ram 3500 RC DRW CTD AISIN 410 rear 2016 Mobile Suites 38RSB3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spindrift Posted September 6, 2017 Report Share Posted September 6, 2017 Denver, We purchased our Redwood in early 2013. We had also looked at DRV and Excel. Quite simply, it was one of those, "You know it when you see it" moments. The RW had a real residential feel to it and that was the deal maker. Unfortunately, RW is no longer an independent subsidiary of Thor. The brand has gone through a few reorganizations since 2013. We have made multiple upgrades to the unit which were not available as either standard or optional items when we purchased. The foundation of these rigs is always their achilles, IMHO. Independent suspension, hydraulic brakes and a 17.5" wheel/tire combo are now available. I will say the rig wasn't problem free but we've worked out all of the bugs to the point where I'm happy. We had an accommodating dealer which can make or break a purchase such as this one. Feel free to PM for more. 2012 F350 KR CC DRW w/ some stuff 2019 Arctic Fox 32-5MCindy and Tom, Kasey and Maggie (our Newfie and Berner) Oh...I forgot the five kids.
