If you've been reading the forum, you know that there have been some serious issues with the early Elkmonts which it appears the factory is doing it's best to rectify.

Naturally, it was with some obvious concern when we ordered our new Elkmont 26 from Custom RV in Anaheim in early October. We took delivery at the end of October and spent 3 nights at a local campground while we got comfortable w/it and Custom RV dealt with the few issues we found.

On returning home to Northern California (500 miles), and based on posts on the forum re Elkmont issues, we found a local RV parts and service center and had them check the structural integrity of the trailer and the roof for leaks. After carefully examining the frame/suspension, and the roof (they found and fixed a small leak), they said it was one of the best built trailers they'd ever worked on paying particular attention to fit/finish overall and the quality of roof caulk work in particular. When they had questions, since they'd had no experience w/TrailManor trailers, Ed Lytle at the factory promptly returned their calls.

So it appears, at least based on our trailer, that the factory has successfully dealt with some serious Elkmont issues. Only time will tell, however, how well the Elkmont stands up over time. At this early stage in the game, we're hopeful.
