Hi George, Welcome to the forum. We have the 378ts and so far we love it. Only minor issues that did not require dealer help to fix. All RVs are going to have some issues so as long as you go in understanding this you won't be disappointed when things happen. We found that all things considered though the Georgetown just gives you more for your money.

I would highly suggest that you go to RVDirect.com and price out your rig as I was completely blown away by their pricing compared to our local dealer who acted more like they were selling Pintos in the 70s rather than an over 100K RV. They will give you a price right online without having to contact anyone. You can at least use this number as a good indicator as to whether you are getting a good deal or not.

We found that the dealers were more than willing to knock 15 to 20K off the price of a rig because they are still making a profit of 20K, that's a huge markup.

Good luck with your purchase

We bought our 2009 350TS from RVdirect in Orlando and are very happy with it.
As NWJeeper noted you're not likely going to find a cheaper price than RVdirect. The purchase went smooth, we flew down and camped all the way back home.

My local dealer still wants my service business so I haven't had any issues with not buying from them. I tend to do all my own repairs and maintenance anyway.

I've had a few minor issues but they have been resolved to my satisfaction.
1.) A single Interior trim piece on the bedroom slide was damaged. Forest River sent me 2 and I replaced it myself.
2.) The hitch was incorrectly stickered at 3500# instead of 5000#. They had problems with there supplier mislabeling them. They sent me complete test reports from a 3rd party and a new sticker.
3.) Minor hydraulic leak. I went all summer with it and never had to add fluid but I don't like it marking my driveway. Before I parked it for the winter the dealer worked on it and thinks they solved it.

Other than those items it's just been minor nuisances. Water tank vent, TV rattling, toilet hose leak, etc

We bought our Wildwood from a dealer out of state because LazyDays (known in the industry as LazyWays) would not give us a good price on the same unit. This was even after the big RV Supershow last year. We had met with the manufaturer rep for FR Wildwood and he gave us the names of a couple dealers that would try harder to earn our business. They both did great. We ended up buying in TN. Was well worth the over night stay in our new rig before we brought it home and the shakedown trip on the way home. We saved $4500 even after the $500 in expenses to pick it up.

LazyDays service has also been terrible on warranty work. Oh yes they will do it for you even if you didn't buy it there but they messed up more then they fixed and they had our rig for 4 months during repairs they messed up. All this for a roof leak and the replacement of the front cap. Long story for another time.

I recommend you go to the RV Supershow that is this weekend in Tampa at the Fairgrounds and deal your butt off after checking out the link provided above. Then and only then will you know exactly what you want and have the best price option to get it. If no one at the show wants to deal then take a ride over to Orlando to get it.
