We took our brand new 280BH for a one night trip, just to get acquainted with it and to get it loaded and organized.
Good: towed like a dream behind our 2007 Ram 2500 diesel 4X4, seemed very sturdy using the factory stabilizers, well insulated -- a small electric heater was more than enough heat at 40 degrees outside. All appliances worked great, love the half time oven, and the hot water was steaming hot.
Bad: When I plugged a lamp into the outlet next to the bed, the outlet completely punched through the wood. This will require a trip to the dealer. The cushioned top railing on one of the booths popped off on one end. I tried super glue with no success. This will also have to be repaired. One of the knobs on a cabinet broke off. Super glue handled this. I noticed the trailer seemed to be leaning in the area of the back bunks but thought the site was to blame. However, when we got it back to storage, it is still leaning. I don't know if a full holding tank would cause this? The dealer filled up the tank and we can't figure out how to empty it.
I do love this trailer and I know I am going to enjoy future trips in it. But having several things break the first day was a bit disappointing. I still think it is a great value and has a fantastic floorplan that is much nicer than the other toy haulers we considered.
