I bought a 2005 TK3 and have had a few problems. I bet my case is typical--not the horror stories I read here.

Two blowouts--not good--insurance and Goodyear took care of this.

Sure--several light bulbs and a couple of new batteries.

One hydraulic jack leak--fixed under warrenty at a local RV place

A few water leaks that I tracked down and fixed. After all, I am pulling a house down the road. The recurring leak--two times--has been the shower connection that you can access via the pantry.

Refrigerator not getting cold enough--fixed with a second fan and now routinely under 40 degrees.

Track light in living area over heating--replaced under warranty.

I am going to have to replace my pressure relief valve soon.

That is about it. So, I consider my ecperience good. No worse than my previous Airstream or other RVs that I have owned.

I really helps if you can diagnose problems yourself and repair things. I think it would be hard to own one of these things if you could not to that.

We are not fulltimers but use our RV about 4 months a year. This lower usage may help too.
