Almost KILLED ME, yet I Endure
If I could give -5 Stars I would!! I *WISH* I had've read the review below before buying here!! I just bought a 2018 Dutchmen Kodiak (1 of 3 currently in the nation that I could find) and BOY, although the Trailer is just what I imagined, Family RV Center is anything but. Their only saving grace is the salesman, Rodney Rogers; he was kind enough to give me some new sewage hoses, a new water pressure regulator, and other very useful items with a Starter RV Kit and took his time to go over everything with me, nearly thrice!!; everything else is GOD AWFUL. To date, here are the issues they left me with (and this is after them inspecting the Trailer, not once, but TWICE): - No Electric Brakes!! Issue was a *CUT* electric brake wire INSIDE THE TRAILER PLUG (spliced in a new wire, replaced plug) - a tire that was BALD on inside tread, and uneven tread throughout! - *ALL* tires underinflated (lowest was 49/65 PSI!!), and one side of the trailer MORE underinflated than the other!!! - a trailer pumped full of sulfur water in every tank that took nearly 2 weeks to flush out! (was told this was due to another town's water supply) - *ALL* 4 tires **UNDERWEIGHT** Rating for the Trailer's GVWR!!!!!! - a *SPARE* Tire that (while brand new on a brand new rim) was a. TOO BIG FOR THE OTHER TRAILER TIRES (225/70 vs 205/75) b. ON THE WRONG RIM FOR THE TRAILER AXLE AND HUB!!! (rim was 6-lug, trailer is 5-lug!!!) - a missing gas shock on trailer "front" door; door just swings out and hits the trailer!!! - lower dinette drawer mount screws blown out.. drawers useless and to top it all off, the RV Tech installed my Fastway e2 brackets (for my weight distribution hitch) **UPSIDE DOWN** (correct orientation is bolts up for a top-mounted coupler, he installed for bottom-mounted). I had to pull over and fix it myself (Thank God I had my tools!!) in a TX Heatwave!! Nearly passed out!! It stressed my truck out and nearly overheated it!!! I ended up buying all (5!) new tires, while on a road trip, (and a new spare rim!!); cost me $803.95! Besides the note about Rodney, the only other positives I have to add are that they gave me a Military Discount on my purchase, worked with me to hold the trailer because I was deployed at the time and having difficulty getting financing (due to my location, not credit!!!), and when my awning wouldnt retract, the Tech answered an off-duty call and walked me through potential fixes (it was a pinched wire that I zip-tied out of the way). OVERALL, however... Take my advice. Buy from Family RV Center... IF YOU DONT VALUE YOUR OWN LIFE.
