We purchased our 2012 big country not quite a year and a half ago. I would suggest if you are looking for a fifth wheel, stay away from big country. AND, especially do not buy from lakeshore rv of muskegon. Horrible, horrible costumer service. So far, the problems we have with our rv are: one of the hydraulic jacks leaks. You can't use the remote to do anything but turn on the security lights. The fan that is in the kitchen does not work using the thermostat. That left the factory that way. I wondered when we got the rig why it was set at 90 and not in the off position. Well, that's because you can't turn it off unless you do it manually. It got over 90 degrees in here once and it automatically went on. I couldn't turn it off. My husband had to manually. The water pump leaked, the kitchen sink leaked, the shower and bathroom sink leaked. Do you know why, because they didn't bother to tighten anything!! One of the kitchen drawers won't stay open. I have slammed my fingers in it several times before I finally learned to move my hand quick when I take something out! The electricity is out in the storage compartment and also some of the electrical plug ins in the rv. The bathroom door doesn't always want to stay closed. When you put the sliders out, which you can't do with the remote anymore, it sounds terrible. And any lights that are on, blink on and off. I'm worried some day they will not close. The hot water tank stinks horrible. We will have to flush it I know, but I have never had that problem with my other two trailers. One of which we still own. When you turn on the heater, the air conditioning comes on. When you use the air conditioning, it never goes off. It makes the sounds like its going to, but it doesn't. The heat when it it did work, never heated right. It never got warm in here before it shut off. When we first got the rig, my husband had to mess with the wires so we could use the genesis DVD,cd,radio and MP3 player. When we closed up for winter, when we opened again in spring, he had to mess with it again to make it work. AND WHY would they be so stupid as to put in a stove that has 2 burners that you can only cook on high with???? That just totally blows my mind. You can not use them. It's one of the stupidest things I have ever seen. If you buy one of these trailers, make sure to get the extended warranty. You will need it. Luckily we did. Now if we can get our dealer to get out here and try and fix this stuff, we'll be lucky. For such a pricey rig, it sure has a lot of problems. I wish we would have went with something else.
