Jason,

Add me to the 'disappointed in you' list. Also, it is a mystery to me that a manufacturer can address and fix problems with pics. They need the camper! I think I wasted my time with you. If your problems were as severe as you indicated and you sent pics to the manufacturer then why not share with us. What is the big secret?

My first camper was a Citation and when I had a issue with an inside wall they fixed it promptly. I did take pics and send them to GC and they never had a stipulation about sending the pics or any info to anybody else. GC makes an excellent Citation campers and there are times I wish I didn't trade it in, but that's something I have to live with for now. I think a troll is in the mix...

Sure Brad, let's see those photos. By the way, do you need any help or pointers on how to post pics to the forum?

I think Jason has done some fine advertising for Citation.
This thread made me go and look at one at the local dealership and next time I buy another camper I buy a Citation. :-)

We have to say that we found these posts upsetting. We have had our Citation for almost two years now and we are still thrilled with it. We have looked at MANY campers and Citation is a top-notch product. Tom Snyder provided us with excellent service when we ordered our camper. We hope this is the end of the Citation bashing. We're sure there were issues, but this doesn't seem to be the appropriate way to deal with them. We are glad to hear it sounds like most of you are of the same opinion.

Jerry, How does your GMC handle your camper?
You have the same truck as we do.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think your camper is about 50% heavier as ours.

I had my Citation 9-6 on a SRW 2500 Dodge before trading up to a 3500 dually. Quite a difference for the better (more tires on the ground), The 10-8 weighs a little more, but Citations are a bit on the heavy side (2" walls, double pane glass). I doubt your Jimmy would have any kind of problem with the 10-8. Ours has been a great camper. I would most definitily buy another (the 1050, if I can talk DW out of a fiver-wish me luck).

The OP originally claimed the camper structure was too weak and the floor would sag into the holding tanks and damage them. I think he said that citation campers built before 2006 had the problem.
