Anyone have one? I am intrigued by the floor plan but I am a little worried about the size and comfort of the Catnap sleepers. If you happen to have one of these trailers I would love to hear your comments both pro and con on this model.

Based on my experiance with Forest River, I would run the other way. My 5th Wheel that I have only used 5 weekends per year has so many issues and today topped the cake.

The FRAME has stress cracks, the axle bracket broke and is gong to cost thousands of dollars to repair.

Called dealer, they refered me to Foret River, called Forest River, they refered me to Lippert who manufactured the frame. And they said it had a 2 year warranty and I should call a welder.

You are right, I should wait and judge after they respond, if they respond. I always say anything can break, it is how you handle it is what matters. If they stand up to it and make it good, I will be happy. But this is a serious situation for me and my family as well as anyone that should have an accident and get serously hurt or killed due to the quality of the product.

I was just looking at Lakebum's photos. Not a good situation at all. I need to do some homework and see what manufactures use Lippert frames and which ones don't. While I do not think that all of the Lippert frames are bad it does seem that the frames that do self destruct always seem to be from the same company......
