I've had issues with mine, which can be frustrating, but the issues I've had were not the factory's fault, or any fault in the build - they are simply things that happened (roof creases due to snow load and/or tree limb while the trailer was at a relative's for the winter), or due to neglect on my part (letting it sit for several years because I simply had zero money and was just focused on not loosing my house). I am extremely grateful though, that I muddled through that without having to sell my TM. Now, I'm in a MUCH better situation, and able to enjoy it again. It's taken some work to get it back up to snuff, and in that process I decided to remodel as well, but when I tow the TM, I'm reminded of how beautifully it tows, and there is no other trailer as large that will come close to the ease of towing a TM.

This is how I feel. My 2002 has a couple of minor issues--which is to be expected for the age. But as far as fit and finish--I'm more than pleased. Maybe I should knock on wood. I don't even have to use pool noodles for gaps. Mine just works. Yeah...I still look at campers. Sometimes I dream of "upgrading". But I whatever I look at in my weight range just doesn't compare with the space I have in my TM. No upright, full size TT has near the counter space or cabinet space. And the ease of towing is a huge factor.
My only wish is that I didn't have to strip the beds to fold the TM down. I have to take off all bedding plus cumbersome 2 inch toppers. Roll them up and find a place to cram them for travel. They are so bulky but make the beds SOOOOOO much more comfortable. I actually sleep better in my TM than I do in my own bed at home!
