This is second hand, but I was researching the internet on suspensions and there were a number of comments that classified the storm as an entry level rig. As such, a number of the owners seemed to suffer quite a few non-suspension problems related to their actual use of the storm, more than what they seem to expect they would have to endure. Furthermore, there seemed to be a general consensus that entry level rigs, to include the storm, were generally known being more problematic than higher quality rigs. There were, of course, some happy buyers just to add to the confusion.
Interestingly, I had a chat with my 90 year old experienced Rver mother and she said that in her day many people just bought rigs and had all sorts of problems like leaks in new campers. As expected, she said it was worth it, but she is a due diligence advocate and said that a lot of owners, like herself, got too caught up in falling in love with their rigs instead of doing their due diligence.
Of course, as some of the forum members will tell you, I haven't emptied enough porta potties to earn my experienced RVer hat, so don't listen to me.
