My 36' Laredo 318RL also had mislabeled waste tanks, and I had to add a 2nd a/c in the bedroom as it just would not keep up on a real hot days. Overall we are happy with the Laredo though.

Do you have a 30 AMP service or a 50 AMP service? I was thinking that a 2nd A/C could not be added with only a 30 AMP service.

I have a 30 amp service too. I simply ran the power wire (12 gauge)from the second a/c down into the basement into a single breaker box with a male plug socket on the wall . I then just use a 10 gauge extension cord to run to the srvice pole in addition to the original 30 amp cord. I only need the 2nd a/c and cord on really hot days. My 318RL is 36 feet long and 1 a/c just doesn't keep up sometimes.

We like our 2006 29RL. We've made several 2-week trips in it hauling it all over the place. We did change out the water pump to a better (quieter) one, swapped the single battery for two golf cart batteries and did a Marineco mod so we have a detachable power cord. Oh yes, our tanks, all three, were labelled correctly. Must have hired the dislyxic labeler after 2006.

Close to 25000 miles and 230 nights on our 2008 265RL. We replaced the Chinese tires. It shows some wear and we are losing our decals, but are otherwise happy with the rig. Just returned from 5 weeks in New England and NY

We just traded our 2005 29BH this past spring. We had zero issues with it over 5 years of use and only traded it because we no longer needed the bunks. We would have gone with another in a heartbeat if they had the floor plan we were interested in. I would not hesitate if you feel it's got everything you want.

Were looking at a keystone avalanche, my question for all you keystone laredo owners is the following. The rear outer wall below the window and maybe above it not firm against any backing. There is give, meaning you can push it in a little. The dealer stated that's the way keystone does the back walls of there units. I just today talked to an owner of a montana and his is the same way. He questioned it and was told that's how there constructed. Any advice or thought's from all the laredo owners. Can't find a thread on the keystone avalanche.

Yes they have floating non laminated rear walls, I don't care for them as it looks like you have a serious case of delamination at all times. Must be a cost savings thing..

This thread is giving me all sorts of warm fuzzies.

We just traded our hybrid trailer in on a 2012 Laredo 275 sbh - one of their "superlites" in the Laredo series. We've had it out the last two weekends and there are no issues at all. It's nice to see others are finding their Laredo's to be trouble-free, too.
