Peterson Industries reviews

Traveled full-time in our Mammoth on an F450 with camper package, heavy duty suspension and upper stable loads. This camper was a great choice for mobility and for utilizing many camping options: RV parks, county/state parks, boondocking, etc... Off-grid package and a dc-to-dc charger make it easy to be off-grid without any generators. Quality is significantly better than other truck campers! Floor plan is very spacious for a truck camper - I still cannot believe it is in the back of a truck. Driving and towing will be significantly less if you don't have the right truck and suspension - ours was excellent. Host warrantied several items in the first few months and we have had no problems since (we have owned if for a year). Show less

Thor Industries owns Keystone RV Company and the 2021 Keystone Cruiser Aire CR248L is nothing but a piece of JUNK!! We purchased the Keystone Cruiser Aire in April 2021. The very first outing was a disaster. We noticed water was leaking from the shower after the very first use. We went into the bedroom and the water had leaked into the bedroom. The leaking water had filled the floor vent in front of the king size bed. The awning on the outside had begun to rip after letting it out. There were other minor issues with the 5th wheel. We took the 5th wheel to Camping World on December 15. 2021 to get some of the warranty work done. To date, the 5th wheel is still in the repair shop of Camping world because they are unable to get the roller parts for the shower needed from Keystone or Thor Industries to fix the problem. We will NEVER purchase another Keystone product going forward!! It does not come close to one star, but could not give zero. Show less

I just bought a Host Camper for more than an nice car. It had issues when I picked up from the factory, that they fixed before we took it off the lot. We drove it home, a two day drive. We discovered more major problems, such as the water heater not working and the shower heavily leaking into the basement storage area. Other minor problems included exterior storage door not latching properly and windows blinds broke on installation. We picked up our camper in September of 2021. We have overnight camped in it twice and have found nothing but problems. I have owned a variety of campers over the last 20 years, this has been the worst experience of my life. This camper is 3 months old and has spent more time, and my time invested in transporting it, at the dealership fixing the extremely poor quality of this product. I called Host to discuss, but it resulted in insults to me as a consumer, implying that I was irrational with my concerns regarding the quality of the product. They say several of there customers experience a “punch list” of problems with their campers, that they are happy to fix if you drive them back to Bend, Or, where they are manufactured. I guess if you are happy buying a high end product that come with a time consuming punch list, instead of time spent doing recreation, in addition to being treated like the manufacturing problems are your fault and not the manufacturer’s…..then this is the perfect product for you!

2019 Cascade Literally problems and replacement of all Dometic components. 2 years in, 5 services on the fridge and fully replaced, went out again now, 2 services each on both furnace and water heater. Clearly a dometic issue. As another person shared the floors are peeling up. Worst issue is the severe cracks on the outside fiberglass panels surrounding the slides outs, one in the first 6 months but was told it was not a structural threat, now even bigger cracks on the glass on both sides. I loved the floor plan for a cab over but arm chair was broke day one, fixed day 3 and has been broken ever since flopping around. Turns out there is basically only one staple in it. I find washers and screws every few miles down the road and am always wondering where they are coming from. Proceed with Caution!! Factory was great and responsive in my home town until I passed the one year mark. A lot of issues for 70 k Show less

Owned by Thor industries and built to last, this truck camper seems to withstand the elements. Solidly built for extreme weather conditions and comfortability this camper holds the record. In comparison to a wide range of truck campers the Citation Supreme ranks top in its class. Show less

We have had 4 citations and love them. Only problem is we have small round paint chips on both sides of our 5th wheel. Size of the end of a pencil eraser. Would like to send pictures, but can’t. Would like to know what is causing them. Show less

Has held up very well for its age with just the basic maintenance. Outside still looks bright white. Only wash with water. Some decal fading on one side. Microwave stopped working. Everything else good. Only use it with hydro and water provided by park so never used battery or water pump. I bought it used. Can’t comment on factory warranty support-never used it Love this trailer Show less

The worst ever! I have owned rv's since the 80's. The cheapest of cheap materials in every way. The bathroom shower and hardware are rusting and spitting bad. The cheap shower slide is like paper. Everything is covered with cheap stick on paper like shelving paper but peels if even bumped. All is looking old. This was bought brand new in 2019. I am in Texas with it now and can't wait to unload it. We paid $67,000 for this piece of junk. The outside is rusting. The sliders don't work properly and are rusting. The cupboards are on cheap hinges and is like particle board. The toilet is in a weird spot where my legs hang off the floor for two feet or more. The generator needs serving again. The washer dryer can only hold 1/4 load and the dryer has quit working. The way the washer is placed you can't pull it out to check filter or anything. The metal around the fireplace is like tin. The cover fir the top of stove is like tin. The air conditioner is so loud you can't talk or even watch tv. Total rip off!!!! Show less

This 2006 M-30RSO Excel Classic is extremely clean and well built. It is being offered with a 2008 Chevrolet 2500HD LTZ Duramax diesel pickup and tons of extras, all ready for the road.. Non-smokers and pet free and at 32’, it’s the perfect length to be comfortable, yet fit in most campgrounds. Solid OAK cabinetry looks great and is built to last. It easily sleeps four and has tons of storage plus a full sized closet and queen bed. It includes a comfortable sofa /hide-a-bed, two free standing recliners, kitchen table and four chairs, AC or gas refrigerator, microwave oven, gas oven and 3 burner stove top. It has TWO air conditioners, central ducted heating, four solar panels and 3.5KW Onan generator. Extras include a 1KW pure sine wave inverter, satellite TV and surround sound stereo. (We really, really like this rig for staying in remote locations. Since it has four solar panels, there's very little need to start up the generator unless the air conditioner is needed.) With the stability of the long bed Chevy 2500HD Duramax diesel, it's very stable on the road. Our mileage varies by speed and headwinds, but generally runs 10-11 mpg and the 45 gallon auxiliary tank gives us roughly a 600 mile range. The four wheel low gear selection has been used a few times but we've never been stuck on soft ground and the truck is powerful enough that hills are no problem. I hope this is of some help if you are looking for a very well built and durable rig. Please feel to email me with any questions and if you would like to see more photos of both the RV and the diesel truck, take a look at my site: cranstonreid dot com/rv. Show less

This Excel was the perfect 5th wheel to decide the features, quality issues, and size/type RV for the ultimate retirement camper. We could not have wanted more in a quality build for traveling. It should serve as an excellent camper for someone for many more years. The factory warranty was given only one star since it no longer is under warranty. Show less
