Anyone had any experience with a Flagstaff TT or 5er. We are thinking of trading, and the only local dealer deals in the Flagstaff brand.

We have had ours for almost two years with no complaints. I have owned one other brand and the fit and finish of the Flagstaff seemed far superior. We bought the extended warranty but have not had it back to the dealer once for any warranty work.

Everyone has good things to say about them. Why are you trading?

Had mine going on three years now. Have had a few minor issues, but, nothing that required a trip back to the dealer. Loose screws and minor plumbing leaks, not bad for being bounced down the highway. Had two prior TT's, made by other manufacturers, that experienced the same kinds of problems.
I'm not particularly pleased with the Concertone entertainment system and the TT would have gone in for warranty service if I had not been able to find and fix some of it's problems. Mostly loose wires that I corrected by replacing all the wire nuts with terminal strips.
The electrically heated holding tanks and heated mattress (optional) are wonderful in cold weather. Deer camp in North Dakota gets a bit chilly.
Overall, I would be comfortable in buying another Flagstaff

Have had mine for 2 years now and am very happy with it. Had a Jayco Hybrid and Starcraft popup previous and Flagstaff seems like same quality. For the price and weight I think it is a great option.

We looked at TT's and 5ers for over 2 years and kept coming back to the Forest River line. We went with Flagstaff because of the dealer and being close to our home. We are very pleased with the quality of this unit. Forest River has a lot of nice rigs. We also like the Wildcat line.

We have the Flagstaff Model 25D to get the lightest weight and most features. We really like the TT, though we had to make some minor mods. Pull with a 2002 Pathfinder; no problem.

We have a 04 Flagstaff 5th wheel and have not had any major problems.We had thought about trading for a smaller unit since I am right at my max towing weight with a 1/2 ton truck,but some 24 and 25 foot 5th wheels weigh more than our 28 flaggstaff.

We are looking at either getting a bigger truck, or a lighter TT. The only dealer we have locally sells Flagstaff. We love our Puma and have never had a problem with it, but the dealer is 90 miles away, and small warranty work would require to round trips and at least two weekends w/o the TT.
