Durango

I was at an RV show today and saw a KZ Darango 2500, I was wondering if anyone has any experience with that unit? It looks good and seems to fit our needs but I haven't heard much about them

They are pretty popular around my area, seen lots of them.

Kind of mid level for the most part.

I have a Stoneridge, also a KZ RV product. I don't know of the warranty now but mine was 2 years bumper to bumper. I nice thing to get as well.

Be sure to check the operation of all appliances and the drawers and stuff. walk the roof looking at all the seams.

All pretty standard things to do with all of them.

With KZ being part of Thor now I don't know how well the quality is but I would expect it to be ok.

Looking as well at the 2500 series. Been looking at YouTube videos doing walk throughs and construction. they seem decent but still looking.

I like Arctic Fox but none around to actually see, and touch.

Also like the Grand Design products.

Fun trying to figure this out. It's

If you are comparing construction, the most valuable thing you can do is to find the brochure for you model on the Internet and compare the construction details like floor and roof construction in the cross section view. There are obvious differences!

As a simple minded rule, more weight per foot of length usually means no corner cutting to save weight.

I was just a little concerned about getting repairs done. It has a good warranty 2 years. It appears to be well made but the factory rep said they had about 100 Durango dealers through out the country and none are in my immediate area. I am starting to lean back to the Cougar line.

Thanks

The only contact I've had was a couple next to us two years back bought a new one and the closet doors in the front fell down because they were stapled into the ceiling paneling and nothing else, it was delivered to the CG by the dealer because they didn't have a truck.
