Well, George, we owned a 2006 Elite Suite after SOB. It was a leaker and had some minor wiring problems with the furnace. But after going on a factory tour, we decided to order a custom unit.

It's been fairly problem free. One small leak at the rear window after over 3 yrs, fixed with some silicone. Outside steps dropped after 2 yrs, but was rewelded inexpensive repair by mobile welder. Cracked shower skylight leak, factory sent free replacement and paid for replacement when we had some other work done on the Suite. Stress fracture outside of bedroom slideout after over 3.5 yrs, factory reimbursed us for labor for Mobile tech and sent out repair kit. One recall for paint on wheels, fixed by same Mobile tech fully paid direct via factory.

I, too, have read about the numerous issues with some of the newer units. I think it may once again be too many orders to fill and pushing units out the door.

But IF we had the money, wouldn't hesitate to order a new Elite Suite.
