One day after the camper was set on our permanent spot we noticed the floor was separating. My husband called the dealer and someone came to look at it. The only thing that the warranty would allow for repairs was to sand the plywood section that was sticking up. The repair man said that the plywood was actually breaking apart, but Salem won’t replace it. We now have two other spots in our floor that are doing the same thing. In addition to this, the shelving in the pantry is falling apart and the shelves are falling. We only have spices on these shelves. This camper is a year old. Disappointed in the quality of this camper, and incredibly disappointed in the lack of cooperation with the warranty.

we are a family of 6 and traded up from a tow behind 32'. I thought this would be great but every time I look at one thing something else fails or is not working. there is a slit in the floor by the heat register. awning has a hard time coming in, scratches in the counter top on the island, stove not igniting. with the ac on you could hold a lighter up to any vent and it will not blow out. Sound bar not hooked up to tv, 3" hole in the floor between wall and fridge. bathroom door not closing. (trailer is level). trim around sliding door as a few screws that are coming out. screws on drawer handles are not in straight and are damaging the trim when you close them, no shelf under sink exposed wires. screen door lock is not there on the door jam. this was our first new trailer and we were excited to get titbit did not notice these thing till we were using it. not sure what to do. the dealer keeps telling up we need to wait for parts to come in but we keep finding problems and that two weeks keep getting further and further away.

Just bought the salem grand lodge 42 veiw in april,2023 lets just say this was my dream trailer and everything from plumbing fittings which are plastic breaking
Sink faucet leacking, hot water heater leaking in trailer to both ac's freezing and cannot keep up constantly and defrosting and dripping down on stairs and on my couch the slide in bedroom wouldnt even pull out straight dont waste money buying a 5 yr warranty when you cant even get a mobile tech in the area it is a joke called dealership and they wont help so who is out the money the buyer.
I was so excited to get this model i have searched and searched for what i wanted only to get a lemon and feel like the buyers mean nothing
