Hello fellow RVers!

I am in the market for the Orbit I saw at a dealership today.

I currently own a hybrid and the family is looking for something bigger.

Knowing all your expertise, is there anything that should be looking out for when I do an inspection this week?

Leaks?
Recalls?

Once again, thank you in advance for all your replies and I hope to hear from all you out there!!!

Be real careful. Sadly, immediately prior to their demise, Fleetwood's towable division built some really, really low quality products. We had a Wilderness that was a monumental piece of junk. It was rotten to the point of being totalled in less than two years, and the leakage was from defective cargo doors. Personally, I wouldn't get near a Fleetwood towable, others have had great luck, but it's not worth the risk.

After doing some homework, this slide system is cable driven. Anyone have any challenges with this?
