Our Outdoors 24 RKS had many problems after we go it home from the dealer. 1 The electric water heater didn't work because the power wire was cut during construction. we had to fish a new one in 2 The rock guard in the wheel well was bent up and loose and hanging down almost hitting the tire. I saw this at the dealership and fixed it at home. 3 The shower glass wall leaked 4 The slide is not square so 1 bottom corner doesn't close tight . It Has a 3/8'' bigger gap then the other 3 corners so the seal is almost not touching. Nothing we can do. 5 The slide hit the plastic mud flap when retracted and needed trimming of about 2" 6 The awning squeals really bad when retracting 7 There are staples under the rubber roof that are not flush with the wood so they stick up like little bumps 8 The plywood under the bed wasn't glued and stapled properly and so the bed squeaks when you move at night 9 The black plastic trim at the bottom of the doors outside has cracks because of over tightening the screws that hold it on 10 The AC unit didn't flow air well, I found the outlet connections inside the unit were almost crushed shut during construction 11 The refrigerator was not level with the rest of the trailer so if you opened the door and let go of it, it would swing around and hit the wall. There are some other minor things to but this just shows no manufacture is perfect. After fixing what could be fixed we like the unit.
@JauntJunkies welcome, we like having the max air fan in bedroom, works very well. West coast climates don't need to AC's , especially since these are well insulated
I agree one hundred percent. they are one of the best. The frame and axles are far superior in my humble opinion. There Titanium fifth wheels are top notch and equally as good too.
@@JauntJunkies They are manufactured up the street from Northwood, Arctic Fox. Outdoors RV is owned by Northwood I'm told? and the same company that makes there frames makes Outdoors RV in La Grande Oregon.
Excellent campers, I did watch the factory tour on TH-cam and they explained the slides being schwitek to allow for the water tanks being located for correct weight distribution ?
Excellent campers for sure. Hopefully they make the trailers the right way so that the schwintec work as they should. If anybody could do it correct I think outdoors rv can. Thanks for watching.

@@CS-rb9jk sorry to hear of those things but thanks for your first hand account for others.
You’ll likely have lots of ongoing issues with Schwintek slides.
I appreciate the detailed walk through, haven't seen too many TH-camrs crawling under the rigs.
Thanks for watching.
I have a 2022 timber Ridge 22FQS titanium. Love the thing. Certainly built better than most. And it off roads well.
Glad to hear from an owner with inside experience. Thanks for watching
Excellent trailers, it can be ordered with 50 amps
Good to know

Thanks for watching. We will need to do a tour of the titanium 5th wheels when they get some in their inventory.
Yeah west coast wouldn’t need it as much. Glad to hear your first hand experience.

Great info about the frame!
Thanks for watching. Love they make their own.
