- If you are considering a Braxton Creek RV/travel trailer, watch this video. It covers our fault filled first four months of ownership of a Bushwhacker Pls 17FL.
Visit our website with other customer reviews at www.braxtoncre....
In the video I stated that my nearest dealer stated that we would be responsible for the labor related to fixing warranty issues. The dealer has confirmed that labor will be included for all warranty repairs, whenever they take place. I apologize for the misstatement.
Since posting this video, the air conditioner has stopped working, the shower seals were fixed and are coming off again, the battery stopped providing power to the trailer, you must be connected to electricity, and, in the middle of nowhere, the support for the waste pipe broke and we were dragging the pipe on the ground. The replacement cabinet the dealer ordered in the July-August 2021 time frame has not arrived.
Was considering a camper from them, but I have now changed my mind. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and review on this product. I hope to never do business with a company like this braxton creek campers... thanks again, HT!!!
I also was going to buy one. Not any more.
Agreed
Was just about to pull the trigger on purchasing the 17BH and after this informative video , I’ve decided to look elsewhere. Great video and thank you for taking the time to save many like me from wasting their hard earned money! God bless
Same here , i will be looking elsewhere
Thanks for this Video. I'm sorry you had to put up ith this. I love your Schnauzers, my wife and I have one!!!!!
God bless you for doing this excellent video. What they are doing is criminal.
Saw one of these near me for a good price used. Now I see why. Thank you sir for your review.
Was about to buy this same camper they had been returned to the dealer and well, something didn’t seem right. Now I know. Thank you so much. You saved me a TON of headache I’m not equipped to fix.
thanks you just helped with my thoughts on buying a bushwacker sorry for your troubles. you saved alot of us from getting BUSHWACKED
I went with Casita. Many are still going strong after several decades. But I had been seriously considering a Bushwhacker Plus! The one I stepped inside of screamed of shoddy un-workmanship. Also looked at the Tabs, just a little too cramped for me and 2 small dogs, but they are great quality. So sorry for your troubles. I hope they go out of business.
Thanks for sharing your experience about actually being inside one of these. If the overall impression is shoddy workmanship, step away, I say. Step away!! :)
This is the same for every rv manufacturer not just Braxton creek except maybe the warranty is more screwed up in this one
Sadly this is just another Jayco trailer. And Jayco quality control is Lousy. Stay away. If you buy a Jayco trailer or any trailer under the corporate umbrella be prepared to become an unpaid RV repair man with plenty of on the job training. Forget about enjoying your hard earned vacation time and relaxation. Dealerships have so many issues they can’t possible hire enough RV techs. They know and don’t care selling these sub par units to make a fast buck
Pretty much anything made in Indiana , whether it is Thor or Forest River or any of the others is garbage. And when they say Amish built they must be talking about a distant relative because most of the RV employees are meth heads
So buyer beware. The RV industry needs a big overhaul.
Well, cross this POS off my list. For a brand new camper this is unconscionable. The follow up service is atrocious. Both dealer and manufacturer should be ashamed. Dealers and manufacturers need to realize……word of mouth and social media reviews will kill your business.
Wow absolute garbage! I have a Tab 320 they are handmade by Amish folk quality is top notch. We bought ours new in 2018 git well over8,00 miles no problem, the quality between that mess and my trailer is incredible, im amazed they let them out the factory like that! I'll never buy there product thank you for warning everyone. I hope you get a better trailer🙏
NuCamp T@Bs are awesome! I toured their factory in Sugarcreek, OH. The company is owned by an Amish family and yes, most of their employees are Amish. They treat them right and it's reflected in their product.
Is it true that the Tab 320's sell for $35k?
I’m looking to buy a teardrop within the next month. I just started looking at Bushwhackers. Looks like I can stop looking and go back to my first choice. Thanks for the video!
i was showing my husband a video on the bushwhacker plus and ended up here. omg this is horrible, i’d do better making a cargo trailer ito rv. thank you
The Waranty issues you experienced is identical for virtually all manufacturers
Hey Jim, I own a Bushwhacker 10ss. Smaller sized trailer with similarly sized problems. I've had all the same QC issues, lack of documentation, and unhelpful responses from BC... sorry for your experience.
Thank you for this very informative video. With a product this lacking, they will not be in business long. I was seriously considering being one of these until I came across the myriad of videos saying, don't buy a Braxton Creek. Again... THANK YOU!
Very sad situation. There are documentaries being made as of late stating that all but the top 3 companies are cranking out campers do to exceptionally high demand with absolutely no regard for quality control. The problem seems to be a shortage of workers and a especially workers with trade level skills.
Thank you for the video. I purchased a new 2023 Bushwhacker plus 15FK at a steep discount ($11,841). Have not taken it out for any trips yet but, will be careful with all the points that you have spoken about. A good alternative will be a 16-foot Scamp, although the price is double.
Your issues are common with many manufacturers unfortunately. I've learned to change things before rolling out on a trip. This is completely unacceptable at today's prices! Crazy. Thank you for sharing.
I've been looking for a teardrop camper but don't want to pay 40K and more... I stumbled upon a FreeSolo Plus Romo that seemed to be 'hiding in plain sight' at a dealer just down the street from me! Before I watched your video, I looked at the pics of it, closely. First thing I noticed was that it only has 2 rear stabilizers (none in front). Then I noticed there was no tv. (Not a big deal, really). My concern was that every used teardrop camper that I'd seen up to that point has been at a minimum 20K and higher (mostly higher- like in the 30's especially for this late a model year- 2021 -but bear in mind; they were not 'braxton creek free solo'. They were NuCamp or Little Guy's). NOW I understand WHY they're only asking 16K for a 2021 model FreeSolo Romo. I'm glad I stumbled across your video. Thank you for sharing. I'll steer clear of this manufacturer.
Thank you for your video ! I agree! I have a 2021 Braxton Creek Free Solo Romo and I’ve had nothing but issues from the start. To include waking up to water from my AC all over my counter , to the brake away system failure , and currently heater issues. Shower trim coming off as well with seals. This is just to name a few.
Warranty department is no help either . No manual for it either! I’m living it full time as well.
Just not built well enough for a full timer.
it should be built great no matter if a person uses it once a month , or every day..this company is clearly bullshit..I hope the person/s who are selling you guys these shoddy trailers break their necks!
Same!
@@kristinreneebrown6844 Wow! What brand would you choose instead?
@@phyllisharris2766 I don’t know, I don’t know much about any of the brands. I’m in some RV groups and camper groups on Facebook. Seems nothing is built quality these days. The Coleman lantern is supposed to be another beginner level, small camper, able to be pulled by my, small SUV,
Thank you Sir for this video. I learned many things as i had every intention to buy one but now, have changed my mind. Thank you again for your help .
The RV industry is total junk but I'm thankful I watched this video.
They do keep sucking me in, even though I know better. I have cut the line on these folks before they got me in the boat thanks to this video.
WOW. I thought maybe I had found the prefect trailer for us. I’m crossing them off my list.
Our 2021 Braxton bushwhacker was nothing but trouble from day one, the furnace has never worked, the matrices (teddy bear type) had the aroma of a house of ill repute! something dead. had to replace battery with only 2 months of use. AC only blows hot air ! made contact with Braxton , very rude lady answered the phone. would not help with anything. told me to deal with the dealer. local dealer is a waste of time, told me it would be a minimum of six months before they would look at it. and then no time frame when it might be done. The warranty is nothing more than a sales gimmick or lip service pick your flavor, would not recommend this brand to anyone, or to purchase this brand.
Oh HAIL NO! I stopped watching after the shower segment. I was looking at one and now I am out!
Damn.. it was one of my top 3 but ya just scared me and it right off the list! lol! Thanks for the video! I won't be getting this one.
Braxton Creek needs to see this! I was introduced to one priced below 12K for a 2024. Rethinking it now…you don’t deserve the hassle you went through. VE in Baltimore
WENT TO the RVShow this weekend in Towson and fell in love with the 17MB model...
What year is your trailer? I have the 15 fk. After the first outing I gave it back to the dealer with a list of 8 needed repairs.
2021. Problems started on first trip.
You should have purchased your camper from A&L RV Sales, they have 8 stores located in TN, VA, GA, and NC and offer a Forever Warranty at no cost to you.......you just have to get a safety inspection once a year and you are covered. This is a no deductible warranty and covers all of your appliances and water heater and other things that you have talked about in this video. From what I have experienced it's not always what you buy but who you buy it from.
I like videos like this. Im picking up a 2024 12sk this weekend and these vidoes helped me get to a fall special of $10k and a free 65" tv this month. So far all the issues I see about Bushwhackers are fixable so wish me luck !
I am glad I found your video this morning. My husband wants to look at campers at a local dealer tomorrow. They have several of these, and they will fit our needs. I am sure he would have wanted to buy one immediately after seeing our car could tow it, and the interior features would work for us. I am going to hold out for a fiberglass trailer, even if we must spend our Christmas vacation visiting dealers around the country! Thanks for taking the time to share your problems.
Glad it was helpful!
I went with Casita because I know nothing about fixing stuff like this and didn’t want the hassle. More $ but you can’t put a price on safety and peace of mind.
How do you like the Calista? Really afraid to spend the money! Thank you
I almost bought this exact make and model...as I was sitting inside the bushwhacked plus some interior mounding popped off and I noticed it has some flimsy thin tiny staples holding everything together. I got my deposit back, went across the street and ordered a 2022 Tab320s Boondock. Manufacture will occur in November and it will be shipped to my dealer in January...so excited. The Tabs are quality built.
Yes! I have a 2021 T@B 320S Boondock. Have gone on five 4-night camping trips at state parks, including the last two Thanksgivings (my kids and grands stayed in a heated cabin and my daughter smoked the turkey). I'm going to go on some month-long trips to see as many national parks as I can.
Thank you so much for saving many of us from making horrible purchases and bearing lots of grief. I'd buy you and your SO dinner if I could.
Amen Brother! We have the exact experience
Thanks for the video. Just curious, how well does your escape suv tow that sized trailer? Any sway?
Not going to consider this one ....ugh.... what a headache
Good choice. I just spent $330 on a repair tech who could not fix an electrical problem that was locking up the breaks. He was a master rv tech with 13 years experience. First time he had not been able to fix a problem. Spent 1/2 hour on the phone with his father who had over 30 years experience and had owned his own repair business.
Since earlier postings I have had poor quality warranty service from the local dealer in Tucson. My big spring trip is no more. Considering painting my trailer lemon yellow and parking it outside the factory. The problem is that it is not roadworthy.
I was about to buy a Bushwhacker Plus 15FK trailer but after seeing this video have decide against it. I guess it says a lot when there is no official Braxton Creek or Bushwhacker TH-cam channels. Usually manufacturers will have their own channels for marketing, to provide user tips etc and encourage costumer feedback. No TH-cam is a bit strange. They leave everything up to local dealers. Not the best sign.
I found their corporate "PRINCIPLES" interesting:
Braxton Creek PRINCIPLES:
Quality Craftsmanship: Doing things right the first time. This saves time, money, and relationships, and it's reflected in our 1-year Bumper-to-Bumper Warranty-a rare find in this industry.
Integrity: Doing what we say we'll do. And, doing unto others as we would have them do unto us. This is where it all starts and ends at Braxton Creek.
Ease of Doing Business: A limited distribution strategy, paired with a dealer and customer-friendly warranty claim process, provides the certainty all parties deserve.
It's a shame. I liked the idea behind these trailers. Too bad its not executed well.
I almost bought the 2022 same one. Glad I didn't now,thanks.
We have the 17bh. We had it three months and same thing. Shower falling apart, condensation d/t air conditioner running which warped all of our cabinetry and caused mildew. Air conditioner leaking d/t a seal being left off by Braxton creek causing the motherboard of the furnace to having to be replaced. It has been in the shop more than it has been at our house. Problem after problem. Would never recommend this camper.
Have you got anywhere with Braxton Creek?
So you had the average experience with a camper.
They are all junk, pick your level of junk, and prepare to fix everything yourself.
Make your offer to purchase accordingly.
The manufacturers produce junk, the dealers are liars, cheats, and do not take care of their customers once they are ‘’over the curb’’ they will keep your camper for months over a couple hour repair. Just DIY
Camper ownership requires a strong willingness to DIY, and a bit of resourcefulness.
If you are not prepared to DIY, don’t but one
Thank you. I am retired and researching. I had this one on my interested list!
I was going to buy one next week. You changed my mind. Thanks So sorry you had this experience!
I unfortunately own a Bushwhacker Plus as well. Thank you for this video. This trailer is very poorly constructed!
has the quality improved at all since the company changed hands? been looking at a 12rad.
Wow, l am seriously surprised as this line of trailers does seem to be marketed as heavy duty high clearance Boondocking travel trailers. Thanks soo much for sharing your experience; we'll definitely be sidestepping this brand!
I wouldn't buy any RV made during the covid years. Well documented supply issues, high turnover of trained staff,etc. That on top of already shoddy quality in pre-covid era. Buy a slightly used pre-covid era and invest in a competent RV inspector increases your odds.
I looked at them recently. I found the build quality to be sloppy and poor. I walked away quickly. Surprised my local RV dealer even puts them on their lot.
Was considering a camper from them, but I have now changed my mind. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and review on this product.
Thank you! I was going to buy a Bushwacker! You saved me a bunch of money and heartache. Sorry for all your problems. Thank you again for keeping others from what you have gone through.
Wish I saw this before I bought mine. It’s been nothing but a nightmare, before even the first trip. Was in for warranty twice and then they tried to actually steal my trailer by contacting my bank and paying off my loan, unknown to me completely. If it weren’t from my bank, sending me a standard payoff letter, acknowledging the payment, I would’ve had no ideathat they were planning on sending a driver to pick up my camper after buying it back from me. I never authorized.
Thanks for sharing your experience with this company, their customer service and poor quality control. Maybe they should be called Braxton Heap.
Thank you so much for sharing this video. We were going to experience this for the first time. We love outdoors and my husband is going to retire soon. We got in love with the unit and going to buy it today. I could not sleep the entire night just thinking if we were going to have a problem after we buy it until I got to see your video. Thank you so much for sharing it.
There comes a point when trying to save money on a camp trailer is not worth it. This product is one of thoes occasions. Yes ask any dealer, Braxton Creek is the best camper on the market for the price! There should be Lemon Laws for campers. Like most people, I only trust word of mouth from actual owners. The last thing you want on the road are problems that should not be problems. Thanks.
I wish I would have done my research before getting mines. I've had it for five months and I'm ready to get real of mines, because I've hardly used it. I have seriously put in some funds with this bad bugger! When I purchased mines from Dunlap in Bowling Green, KY (avoid them in its entirety). I'm a single color woman who didn't know much about a camper. Got it because it would save me money from renting a hotel while being on contracts.
Well, they rigged up my hitch by placing the wiring close to the haust pipe and burned the wiring and I had to pay the labor fee that wasn't covered by the warn or anything. That was $200 dollars and the blower to the fauna continued to run over 28hrs, and had to take it to a shop to find that the air from the propane needed released. Man, this camper has it's ups and downs so be aware.
That review certainly makes me think twice! Thank you. It's exactly what I wanted to know. You confirmed what I was already thinking about their workmanship. God Bless you and I hope you have a favorable outcome.
So you spent 15,000$ expecting a 30,000$ camper and got a 10,000$ camper instead.
I'll start off by saying "thanks for this video". I was scheduled for a visit to a Braxton dealership tomorrow to look at the Free Romo... cancel that... thank you for showing the cons.
Jim speaks the truth! I bought a BW Teardrop. Dexter brakes never worked correctly. I had to disable them. The hurricane hinge was too short for the application, rain water went directly into the kitchen area on both sides of the door. The propane gas fittings were installed INCORRECTLY and leaked propane at the stove. The bottom edge of the unit was not sealed-all four sides. It just goes on and on. I had the trailer into the dealer 4 times for the brakes. The techs could never figure out why the passenger side brake shoes would SELF-ADJUST OUTWARD so as to make full, under pressure, contact with the drum. Braxton Creek is a company that I liken to Joe Biden...not worth a dam.
My wife just bought the new 2022 Bushwhacker from them and she got 45 miles down the road and the drivers side wheel came completely off. She was on a major interstate also, needless to say going through a rough night the RV refunded her money and covered the cost of having it towed. We have a video of the lugs being loose on the other wheel.
James,
I hope you wife is OK, that is quite a shock. When is the continuing saga of Braxton Creek failures going to end?
Would love to see the video.
Jim
thanks for your very helpful information ,I''ll stay away from Braxton Creek.
Thanks for saving me a lot of money and more important a big headache that I couldn't get rid of
Thank you so much for sharing your story .we have been looking at those. You saved us from making a big mistake.
I looked at a Braxton Bushwhacker 12sk at a camper show. I was so excided and put money down for the dealer to hold it. I was going to pick it up this weekend but, thanks to your video I will be looking at other options. THNAK YOU!
Like others commented, thanks for your candid review. This trailer was one we were looking at, but not any longer.
same here!
I was close to purchasing this teardrop. I will wait and pay a little more for an Intech or Tab. Thank you for sharing.
Tab cost double more
@@mrsvoyage sounds like you’re affiliated with the high-quality-products company!
Martin Frison good things ain’t cheap and cheap things ain’t good.
Same here, was about to pull trigger on freesolo romo, there's reason why their asking price lower. Thanks for the video Jim!!!
Wow! Good to know the quality of these trailers is so poor. Sorry you spent so much money only to be disappointed.
So am I!
I was going to look at a romo…now I’m not.
Sorry for your terrible and expensive experience.
Neighborhood kids could have made a fort better than that. What a sham they make.
Almost bought this unit but I won't accept for free with these negative reviews. Why American made RV so shittie like their cars?
Quality is a dying concept these days, and yet somehow inversely proportional to cost. Sad times
thank you. I was considering buying one of these. I was slightly concerned about poor design details, obviously little thought put into some areas or lack of experience. But there are few affordable trailers available under 2,500 lbs. I will keep looking.
This is junk unless you are a handyman. They do not even inspect before you get it delivered.
Thanks you just saved me $14,000 for a used one and many, many headaches
yup you just saved me money! I was looking at getting this until I found your video! Thank you!
Think I'll look a little harder at the Scamp travel trailer.
I looked at your website while at work today. I was looking at one of these seriously up until today. Now I know why the dealer in Clarksville IN had them way back on the back lot.
Price point on these is attractive; however, if they aren't built well, it isn't worth it. Too bad as the layout looks pretty good if you want a camper with a bathroom/toilet.
Thank you for sharing your experiences. I was looking at this manufacturer but will find another. Moreover, I’ll spread your word to others.
Wow, thanks for the video. We have been looking at these but defiantly removing it off the list. We really wanted an Alto but they are expensive not to mention the waiting list. And if we have any problems we have to take it back to Canada for repairs.
Wow! Thanks , for the information. that's one trailer I will not consider.
Sir, thank you for this video. I was looking at buying one. You just saved me a lot of money.
I was thinking of buying either Braxton creek or another cheaper teardrop. After seeing this review and then reading more reviews on a few websites for both, I went with the more expensive but well built Little Guy Max. Thank you for your review!
Thank you, good to know. They are off the list. Total junk.
Every travel trailer WILL have its own issues. They will all leak eventually. Except for maybe Oliver and/or Airstream trailers.
True, but the waste system should not fall of in the first week of ownership, nor a wheel fall off on the way home the dealers. At no time should the entire cabin fall off the trailer frame. Those are real events that have happened to owners.
Wow... this is a disgrace... the RV industry is unregulated and that needs to change... how do these companies get away with this crap.... I've been looking at a number of different manufacturers and to be honest they all seem about the same ... non of the builders of these things seem to give a shit about their work... it's embarrassing.... gotta admit close to giving up on the idea of RVing.
@@steveo4141 Look at Tab.
Thank you so much. Was just about to buy one of these too. Almost made a big mistake
Wow, thanks for posting this. We almost did the 15DS. Talk about junk! Is there anyway you can burn it to the ground and say it was a propane leak?
I wish, but I have just completed a rehab of the dealers second shower fix plus a few other fixes. I am stuck with this piece of….
Sorry to hear you've had issues. . We bought a Bushwacker plus right after covid hit in May of 2019, purchasing the 15FK model. We wanted to get something that we could use off the grid during covid and thereafter. We live in Southern CA but decided to purchase the unit in Iowa to save money and not pay crazy CA markups. The trip was almost 2000 miles. So we hauled it back to Los Angeles and slept in it on the way. Since that time we've been out in the Bushwacker plus about 15 times going to Morrow Bay once at a campground and also a week in Death Valley in the winter, but the other times mainly going to the desert for a few days at a time off road or in the back country.
The trailer has held up well for the most part, but we did have some issues some of which the gentleman is talking about. We had to silicone the shower because the walls came apart in a couple places as well as some of the cosmetic stripping inside the RV. . .The step into the trailer was a little weak so we reinforced it with some bolting. The stereo came on by itself sometimes which drains the battery which I found annoying. One shelf board came loose from the staples, so it was bolted. Lastly we sealed around the front door with silicone and foam because we saw air gaps from the inside in that area. We have since bolted or screwed in all areas that have staples.
Besides for the stereo issue I consider these things general maintenance that we've had to do on any unit, especially since we use it offroad and off grid camping. . you do have to be gentle with it if you go offroad though as it does tend bounce around over 25mph on dirt roads. . We paid 11 g for the Bushwacker and I consider this a bargain. I'm aware that some other trailers out there are built better, but they also cost more. Maybe we got a good one, but I should also mention my friend 30 miles away bought the other Bushwacker model and she hasn't had any problems except some maintenance inside as well. Sorry to hear about your other issues and warranty problems with the company. I've called Braxton Creek to inquire about the stereo and they said I had to talk to the manufacturer of the the unit which is Jensen. They sent me a new unit but I had to install it myself. Mainly I'm pleased with the camper
We also have a 2022 free solo plus din. There were a couple hiccups. But then we have owned numerous RV's travel trailers, cab over camper, 2 class c's and now we own a 33' Super C and each and every own has had all of the same issues, unfortunately it comes with the territory. We bought the Baxton Creek free Solo plus din knowing full well its going to have problems... But for the price they are very much Worth the value. We rent out the unit we both. And everyone that has rented it has been very happy. Personally i think these complaints are well legitimate but most can be taken care off with a little effort. Sorry for there loss but this is usually a first time rv owner that is not very handy. And pr8 shouldn't have purchased one to begin with.
Thank you for sharing your experiences on the Braxton Creek. I've crossed it off my list. I hope you'll somewhat enjoy your camper, once everything is fixed. Thank you and stay safe.
What do you expect for this price point? It’s much less than the competition for a reason. I’m looking to buy one to strip and rebuild. The frame and shell are solid so I’d love to rebuild one as the frame and shell are the most difficult parts to DIY
I have the 15fk model. The latch on the emergency escape window will not keep the window open. Have you had this problem? Need ideas....
Cindy Yurek- We bought a 2022 15FK, but have only used it three times. So far it is ok, but we are not avid campers. We are farmers who want to take a break and book mostly one nighters. Here's another point. Our 2004 Toyota Tacoma cannot pull a camper heavier than this one. So for us it works out and we are happy with our purchase so far. Sorry Cindy, that emergency window latch can come back at you. Not sure why that design. We keep the bed down and I bought a 4" mattress topper. Heaven! Then I bought a 10x10 EZ- UP 6.4 Cube tent We use it for a screen house and also have two cots for guests. So we use the camp ground picnic table or a small table in the screen tent. The 6' clearance in the 15FK is fine for us and a blessing on a rainy day to have a hard shell. If I had the money, I would buy a bigger truck and a 21' Little Guy Max, but this works well for us and it is also a cute guest house in the summer. Braxton Creek should be ethical towards their customers. I am a retired corporate Senior Buyer and customer service is everything! I'm sorry to hear all these complaints and issues. I hope they can be resolved or perhaps consider trading in for a better grade of camper. This forum makes me feel like we could benefit from finding someone who has the knowledge and expertise to put together a comprehensive users manual at a reasonable price. I would would definitely buy a copy! I keep tabs with Mitch at TRAVELING TEARDROP on You Tube. He has done some modifications to his 15FK and is satisfied with the overall results. He and his wife camp all year round. We hope to meet with them when they visit New Hampshire. Best of luck to everyone! ~ Diane
Your not the first I heard of like this
Thank you. I won’t be buying one.
I was thinking of getting a 23 17mb and I have the same tow vehicle, Ford Escape with the 2.0 engine and a 3500 tow rating. Can you tell how your Escape towed that weight of vehicle ?? After seeing your video now I have doubts but still am curious how your escape towed it. Do you have another teardrop with a bathroom you can suggest, thanks
Don’t do it. My Escape Titanium had issues with towing from the start. Initially overheating and then the transmission resulting in a $4700 overhaul. It only had 17k miles when I started towing. Also, I pumped the tires up 10 psi to improve gas mileage. Occasionally got 13 but averaged about 11 and was as low as 7.
No matter what you tow, get a truck. I got a 2022 Frontier and feel a lot better when I tow. Similar mileage without a trailer and 13-15 towing.
If your budget will stretch, look at Tab. Good luck!
Thank you so much for your honesty, you saved me a lot of headaches!!!
We have one also. Same water heater issue and shower issue. We also have a roof leak and a few other issues with the door trim. So how do I get a manual so I know more about my camper?
I am sorry to hear of your problems, it seems worse than us. I am curious to know how many owners like us are out there.
With regard to the manual, I don't think there is one, just a stack of installation guides for the components.
Goof luck.
I am not sure there is a manual.
For the water heater issues, I'd recommend replacing it with a tankless unit. For the roof leak, check that the sealant is properly applied, you should be able to see it from a short ladder. If the sealant isn't in all the right places, or is cracked, you may need the roof resealed.
Thank you so much for the video. I was looking at the bushwhacker plus 17RE. Not no more.
Thank you. I have been looking at tear drops and Braxton Creek was on my list. I spoke to a dealer yesterday who had carried this line and they ended their relationship with BC because of quality issues and poor support. SHAMEFUL Braxton Creek.
OMG wow...thanks for sharing! Appreciate your review! I won't be purchasing from them. They are a garbage company☹️
