Let me start off it.
This is not meant to start another flame of WW, so remember what your mother said about "If you don't have anything good to say..."
I first bought mine when I got tired of having a wet buggy seat to sit in after we got to our destination.
We looked at several brands, went to RV shows and even the Sand Show to look there too, finally the DW liked WW LE models, I didn't really care except for a dry place for the buggy. Started looking for a deal on them and found Shawn Z at Giant, got a good deal but had wait for it to be built. Finally it arrived, now can't wait to go to the desert and try it out, man was that a blast, one of the best trips we have had, everything worked perfectly first time out, the dunes perfect. After desert season was over we took it to the river and it spent it's first summer at Martinez Lake in Yuma parked on our summer spot. It was one of the best summers we had at the river, it was great to come in after a long day on the water to relax and cool off in our new trailer.
I can't say it was flaw free after all it was in 100 degree temps for 5 months, a few issues came up (most I could have fixed but after all it had a warranty) so when the river season was over it went home to WW factory to be fixed. Got it in just before desert season started and got it back as good as new or maybe even better as WW found more problems than I had listed and fixed every one, got it back washed, cleaned inside and even repainted the frame.
We use it year round, in the winter it goes to the desert aleast 10 times a season and now that we decided to stop going to the river, we will camp around the local area in the summer and haul the golf cart with us. I plan on keeping this trailer for several more years and maybe take it to Oregon next summer and try the dunes in Coos Bay.
I would like to thank Mark and all his employees for a great trailer.
Good luck
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.
Now is this going to be a comedy post? "all the people that have not had problems with their WW?"
I can't say we haven't had problems, but nothing major. We've had problems with our Lance too. But neither have had problems bad enough to make us regret our decision. I've never known anyone who has bought something without something that was 100% perfect - auto, home, rv, etc.
We have a 2006 SLC3505. We ordered it in September 2004 and picked it up December 23. Weekend Warrior sold us the unit at 2005 prices because they were switching over when we ordered. Only a couple of weeks after we picked up the unit, we had one of the worsh ice storms in decades. The Warrior came through it in excellent condition except for one minor thing - all of the decals on one side were peeled at the top. Weekend Warrior replaced every one on the drivers side. Right after that our dealer went out of business and for about a year the closest dealer was 4 hours away. Our rear door leaked and one speaker didn't work. Warrior sent us a rear door gasket and the speakers and we did the work ourselves.
The only other issue we have had has been with the tv cabinet in the living room. They fixed it too.
Just last week, we had a bad storm at the campground. The camper on the drivers side had a 3" branch shoved completely through the side of their camper. We had 4" branches crammed under the rear of our hauler and from the locations, knew that some had to have hit the unit. No damage of any kind.
We've been extremely happy with our Warrior. Considering we spent almost a year looking before we bought and I had a stack of information a foot high, we bought the one that suited our needs and haven't been upset. We debated the Raptor and the NextLevel but ended up with the Warrior.

I spent 3 years looking for the perfect RV. This is our first and we are so happy with it. It has provided the luxury of a beautiful home on wheels for my wife, yet the versatility of haulin' the toys for the boy's without any hassle. We have never had any warrantee issues and frankly, we have been extremely impressed with the fit, finish and overall quality. I have a 20 year background in remodeling and new home construction. I am VERY quality conscious and this coach has outstanding design and workmanship. We will always be Weekend Warrior fans. Thanks Mark!
OK here's ours,
We ordered our 05 FS2600 when I got tired of always working on our old motorhome. We had a Diesel pickup so we put it to work. Made a great deal with Travelon RV in Alpine, CA over the phone including a good price for my un-seen trade (didn't expect that). We couldn't wait, We were lucky and got it within three weeks. WW even let us make some changes during the build. Travelon called me when it was on it's way. I had heard some dealers were taking days to get PDIs done prior to customer delivery but we picked our WW up about 6hrs. after it was delivered to Travelon. I found a few items during our walk thru and they fixed them on the spot.
As far as problems, we had a few, nothing major but I had it to the factory in Perris twice over two years, once for faulty cargo door seals that were upgraded. WW came through big and took care of all kinds of extras and detailed the trailer inside and out. we couldn't have been more satisfied. the second time WW asked me to bring it in because Zieman had installed a slightly undersized hitch coupler. again our WW came back better than new.
Seems things started going in the wrong direction with WW in 06-07? our siding (aluminum) had a couple of areas that concerned me so I called WW even though our warranty was up and asked if they would just look at it. they agreed and asked me to take it to their new facility in Upland. well WW fixed it up no charge but I can say the service was not the great service I had received at Perris.
We sold our FS2600 after 4 years of service loaded to the limit (I weighed it)
including dragging it down to San Felipe 6 or 7 times. the tires that came on our WW were 15" ST Generals, I always worried about them but other than a nail in one I never had a problem and sold the trailer with the original tires still on it. I would have bought the Generals again if they still made them.
Overall we were very happy with our WW FS2600 but we fell in love with a Rage'n 5er at the Sand sports show (I knew I shouldn't have gone in to "look")
Now we Have a 2008 Rage'n FA 34-05 without a manufacturer but Rage'n did take care of some custom requests at the factory before they closed....
Thanks Mark and WW for supporting our sport for all these years.
I have owned 5 different toy haulers, 3 of them being WW.
I just 3 weeks ago got a new WW even though all the WW problems.
I did go out to find a different brand trailer but after looking at several other brands I said screw it, WW is so much nicer then any other brand I will buy even knowing they are soon to be long gone.
WW is the ultimate toy hauler hands down, to bad they had financial issues.
It really doesn't matter what rv you have, there will always be something that might need attention. What counts is how well the manufacture backs up the product when you do need something fixed. I have had 5 campers and everyone have needed some sort of warranty work or me going around and tightning a screw here and there. That's what happens when stress is put on a unit.
