Great trailer and floorplan. TERRIBLE quality.
Cheap LED lights. 4 have burned out and needed to be replaced. Porch light, right turn signal/brake/taillight, plus 2 marker lights. 2 pop up lights inside.
Roof leak due to the fact that assembler did not finish sealing. A 2' section of the roof left completely unsealed leading to damage.
The toilet would not seal even with a new gasket, had to be replaced. Now works fine.
All of the caulk in the shower peeled off. Maybe not adhesive caulk. I removed the old caulk, replaced with high quality adhesive caulk. No further problems.
The vent latch clips are soft plastic a known issue. You will have to order replacements. Suggest you order multiples. They fail constantly so are readily available.
Its a great floor plan, easy to tow, but VERY poor quality overall.

Great sturdy trailer. Went through Hurricane Ian and did not leak or have any issues!! Great for two people or one. Easy tow and easy to use. Only drawback is storage. It has limited storage and could do a bit better job creating storage. I make up for the storage by having a pickup topper on my truck. The bathroom is small but doable for most people. Great for off grid camping not intended to be lived in but to be used as a great camper for travel and ease of use.

Purchased the 15fk in December 2021 due to having a great price and additionally free winter storage and my Ford Escape could tow. Kept in outdoor storage until May 2023. Purchased a seasonal site for the summer. The a/c doesn't allow to get cool enough when it's hot outside. Constantly have to run it for it stay cool during the day once you shut it off, it gets hot despite having a fan going and the shades closed on the windows. Insulation is shotty. Also, I couldn't get the back board on the dinette to fully lay flat. I tried to take the brackets off, but the screws are stripped. I'm ready give up on it and buy another trailer. DO NOT BUY.

I bought this unit because it could be pulled with my Jeep. After my first trip the water heater failed, after my second trip the water heater failed, the water pump failed, and a shelf that holds the lights and spans the bunk fell off.
My third trip the side of the trailer separated from the top of the trailer and allowed rain water to pour in
My dealer said this is normal wear and tear and will cost $10,000 to repair. He suggested I should call my insurance company and see what I could do with them to recover the cost.
Buying this POS was not a smart move by me.

While we liked the ground clearance, we hit out heads on everything, the trailer beebs incessantly for almost anything. Half the time we cannot firgure out what is causing the beeping so disconnect the battery. I really do not need Ai on a camping trip. The fire escape window flew off and hit a truck behind us, luckily they did not get damaged. This window is POORLY designed. Very difficult and expensive to replace... took a week to even hear back from the dealer. I really also do not understand why an owners manual was not provided that was any good. We have watched online videos over and over trying to troubleshoot the problems. Wish we had not purchased it.

Do not buy this at all. Went to the dealership and fan and table in not working order. I demanded that to be fixed. We went camping with this and the electrical system was a mess. Thank goodness my husband took it apart. They did not even put the electrical plug in the water heater for electric. Damn can't you guys figure out how to put in a plug in a socket. These guys did nothing for inspection. We had to use propane because nothing was hooked up. It is a piece of junk and falls apart. They use staples and crappy stuff for the inside. You pay for what you get. If you purchase this trailer be a handy man all of this trailer is junk. Bushwacker you should be so ashamed of yourself

The AC unit leaked onto the counter top, then the AC didn't work so we had to replace. The warranty sucked no full coverage. The cold water and hot water outside and inside leaked. It rained and rain was coming in all over. From underneath, which had big gaps you could see inside the storage and under sink. The shower had to be pulled out due to it leaking. 3 months later and still no warranty money come to me! Never will ever buy a bushwacker plus again.

I purchased this trailer new in December 2021 for use as a temporary residence while working at remote locations in the south eastern US.
I spent 97 days living in this trailer from Feb./ March in Alabama to April/May in central Missouri.
The layout is good and I believe the unit is structurally sound after 2600 miles of towing
Their have been so many flaws with build quality found since purchase that it had become a burden to own.
The most important flaw is with the side mounted A/C unit being vented thru the roof for it's cooling air intake.
The intake vent stack is only a 3" tall plumbing vent and if the a/c is run during heavy rain then water enters the stack and travels down into the camper ultimately ruining the cabinetry. I am awaiting an appointment with the dealer for this issue now, that is why warranty is not rated.
In addition to this defect here is a short list of known defects with my camper upon receipt:
1) kinked water hose on hot water heater
2) plastic slug dropped into gray tank during build.
[too large to pass thru outlet, blocks drain outlet]
3) shower hot and cold tap reversed
4) ceiling staples coming loose
5) bad wheel brake system [had to replace]
6) plumbing vent pipes cut off below fixture seals
7) shower walls not properly secured
8) black water tank not sealed around pipe
9) screws for door latch stripped during build
10) radio antenna wire improperly crimped
There is more, but this should prove my point.
Also remember there is no floor insulation in this unit from the factory, It will need tank heaters and belly pan for below 32 F weather.
12 Volt power supply is for lead acid batteries and does not fully charge lithium batteries

I am at my 4th camper.. and got a lots of experience in stress and structure on different materials.. I would describe this model as a good little RV with a cheap price but would would require attention from the beginning. I visit 2 units on the same dealer.. One of the Interior fenderwall was bent our on both units but this was only cosmetic and doesn't affect the trailer if corrected with some scealant. The bed frame didn't have enough support as the beams weren't reaching the frame bed but I saw similar issues on campers of twice that price. The fresh water tank wires were exposed and not attached properly but again could be fixed easily. Electric Tape been used to attach the brake wiring to the axle but again a cheap fix to add some zip tie.. Rounded shape frame detatch to the wall in the shower but again should be fixed quite easily and cheap.. One of the screws to supper the fresh water tank was snapped but you couldn't see it without doing a deep inspection but again a simple nut and bolt would do the trick.. I did a very deep inspection on both units and both were having tiny cheap easy to fix issues if you aren't picky and the dealer would fix most of them for free but not the mods of course.. I would say pull the trigger and go have fun in the outdoors and don't beat the shit of this camper and you should have many years of fun... Don't expect an RV of this size and at this price to be as comfy as a house.. Come on.. The fridge seems to require an upgrade, get an Alpicool C40 12 volts, they are cheap and don't use a lot of power.. Do a deep inspection fix the little glitch and go have fun and don't forget the bug spray and your rod for fishing..and cook fresh fish!
