need some opinions

[aleydecker]

first time buying an RV, have put a deposit on a 2007 Starcraft Travel Star- 19 footer with popout ends. Doing a lot of research to make sure it's of good quality compared to Jayco (Jayfeather), and Forest River Surveyor. Any opinions and/or suggestions? We know this is the size and type we want (and we can tow it without a problem). Not a lot of info out there comparing RV's. Thanks for any help you can give.

Apparently Forest River has some problems. Check out the threads about this manufacturer.

We had a Starcrat that we really enjoyed but that was more than thirty years ago, so.................

Suggest you go to rv.org and buy some solid advice.

Good luck

np5511, you seem to be fairly negative in the 2 posts I've seen of yours so far. Do you have a problem with this forum? If so I suggest you go elsewhere.

Most of the advice given freely here is solid. It is all opinions but, I will take the opinion of a fellow rver any day over some advice from people that may have never even rved. Sift through it all and then make up your own mind.
Alleydeck, I think you will be ok with the Starcraft. We did have a Starcraft popup and it was great. Yes, you will have some problems so, expect them. Good luck

Some of you will remember me from a couple of weeks ago. Trying to decide on a Forest River product. C Nash I have to applaud you for your good attidue on the forums. For those who can not maintain a positive attitude, lets just put it this way I am looking for good information about the camping experience. Would not want campers next to me with a negative attitude any more than on this forum.

Thanks Nina, One of my pet peeves is negative people and I try to stay positive. Campers and rvers are some of the greatest people I have ever met and with my age there have been a lot. Have to say I have never had a bad camper and loved them all. Yes there have been problems but, most I fix myself. Had all kind of campers in the last 40 yrs from open camping to our now MH. Most all have had leaks at times and always something to tinker with. Just finished making a storm door for the MH, adding side shades, rigging up for sattalite, changing transmission fluid to synthetic, changing oil and filters, fuel filter and getting ready. Dang these things are a lot of trouble see even I can be negative

I'm not quite sure what np5511 did wrong? Next to his name it says that it was his first post and I happen to agree with him that the RV Consumer Group is a good source of information. ( www.rv.org ) Does that make me negative too?
