I believe they are atypical of most units of the industry. Hope your dealer does a good job prepping it as they come out of the factory pretty shoddy sometimes as most manufacturer's units do. No problem with warranty claims as all were handled by my dealer. In fact, a couple of items were well out of warranty and were repaired or replaced without hassle. Best towing trailer I've ever had. Balance is wonderful. Well insulated for both cold and warm. Forest River will tell you that you are not their customer, the dealer is their customer and you are the dealer's customer.
