I have to admit I was also happy with my 07' FS2300. We had many fun times in it. But I was allot happier when it drove away behind another guys truck .

Sounds like the two best days in a boat owners life. The day you buy it and the day you sell it.

I would love to see the percentage of people that actually had problems. I would bet that it is very low (in the lower half of all trailer brands). I really doubt that you are going to start having problems.
What were your minor problems during your long trip?
I am about to buy an FS2600. I think it is a great size and a great design. The used ones certainly have held their value well.

It's far from scientific, but the failure rate within my circle of friends has been alarmingly high. Off the top of my head, I can think of three friends (plus myself) with failures ranging from "serious" to "catastrophic". Mine and one other (Quadhauler) was on an '04 FS2600. I think Buford's is the same style, but larger (FS2800?). There's one more if you count Motoboot's!
I haven't seen any similar problems with other trailer brands since the Gearbox delamination four years or so ago.
My trailer is in the shop again today re-repairing the brake wiring that WW installed incorrectly when they replaced my axles. They reimbursed me for the first rewire. I'm on my own for this one.
We still love this trailer. I'll do what I have to to keep it running. Last night I repaired the wiring to the XM receiver and the outdoor speakers (WW snipped all the old wiring when they replaced the stereo).
I'm glad to hear yours is holding together well. Keep enjoying it!!!
Just to add a little balance:
Other then a cosmetic issue with the rear cap that was handled under warranty, my WW has been near perfect.

Very cool. That's how it should be.

Maybe we could start a thread for all the people that haven't had problems with their WWs. It might give me some peace of mind. I'm getting worried that I have a giant elephant on my back.

I am sad to see them go, though I had some issues, they were all taken care of very well and with a great attitude. For the price and the fun and family times I have had I would say they are great and mine was a bargain. It is very sad for me to see them go but maybe that will give the others a kick in the pants to get better and use the good things from warrior in their trailers. I love mine and dont want nor need to sell it so I hope it just keeps cruising.

Why the sourpuss attitude? What has YOUR experience with Weekend Warrior been like? Or are you just another bozo who likes to kick folks when they're down? Our experience (we actually DO own a Weekend Warrior) has been pretty good. Good buying experience, and it's served us quite well. Of the five off-roader families we're friends with, four own Weekend Warriors, and none have had negative experiences. Guess that bothers some of you. Too bad, we're going to keep enjoying our trailers.

Thank God I ran into this before I pulled the trigger!! My folks just closed a deal on getting out of their Class C and are getting me into a 07 FK19 Used for $17500. The only thing holding the deal up is me driving the Class C parked at my house up to Las Vegas and that is supposed to happen this weekend! Thats why the dealer is selling for a great price. Should I RUN away from the deal?? Please ADVISE quick!
