I'm looking very hard at pulling the trigger on a new highland ridge travel trailer, specifically the 323rls, can anyone comment on the build quality/longevity of this companies campers good or bad?

Bought mine new, had a 2 year warranty, which I think has changed. Had a few minor problems (some were my fault), but had a reputable dealer. I am very pleased with my 5th wheel and do recommend the brand. Fit and finish was very good, and still shows after 5 years. Why not check out the Open Range owners forum, where you can discuss your model, and see how happy other owners are?

When economic times are good RV demand is up. When demand is up the mfg.'s push them off the line, increasing the chances for the 'miss' in the 'hit-and-miss' as drsteve stated. Find yourself a reputable dealer willing to fix what's not working just in case the mfg. stops answering the your phone calls.

This is our 3rd travel trailer and it is by far the best built. And, it also comes with lots of stuff that is less common on some other brands. Like all LED lights, inside and out, electric stabilizer jacks, all weather insulation, and a bunch of other stuff. The only problem we've had is the water pump. They used some cheap pump that has a very high failure rate. I had it replaced twice under warranty before the company started using the Shur-Flo pumps on all replacements. We are extremely happy with ours. We spent about six weeks in it on a trip this summer, and were very pleased.

Many misses.

Highland Ridge is a subsidiary of Jayco, which is owned by Thor. I would expect their build quality to be on par with the rest of the RV industry, which is to say hit-and-miss.
