Not uncommon for a 20 year RV loan on larger RVs. That long of a loan term is not a function of the dealer, it's the bank / financial institution.

Other than that I've not heard anything significantly negative about the brand.

FWIW we have a Fuzion with the Onan 5500 and the noise is minimal, and vibration is basically non-existent. Provided the unit is at least fairly well built I don't believe you'll have any issues with noise and vibration.

Just found this, we are looking at a 313T this week, can't find a whole lot of information, pro, or con for this toy hauler. Are you guys still satisfied with your decision, and any experience with camping world. Thanks in advance for any information.

Also, are you guys towing with a 2500, or 3500 srw, or 3500 drw truck?

I have a Talon 313 and love it. Yes, the generator can be heard while running but itโ€™s not that bad and it does not vibrate the trailer.

When we dry camp, we typically read in bed at the end of the night so we are over the generator when itโ€™s running. Jayco did a good job insulating the bedroom so the noise from the generator is minimized.

The 313 is a great unit and so far we have have had minimal issues with it. If you do get one, make sure to have your dealer check all the propane and fuel station connections. The ones on our unit were only finger tight.

Also, check the wiring for the motors on the slide. The wiring for the rear motors goes through the wheel well and ours was only duct taped to the bottom of the trailer. The tape added coming loose and the motor connection ended up rubbing on the top of the tire while in motion. Luckily, I found it before the tire wore through the wiring and the connection. Ended up wrapping the motor connection with electrical tape and zip tied and screwed the slack wire to the top of the wheel well.

Good luck with your search.

Get it and don't look back. I was on the fence also and it's barely noticeable sound wise, vibrations are zero. We are at race tracks every weekend and there's always 'that guy' with the loud generator running, and it usually drowns out ours. I did put an extra carbon monoxide alarm on the bedroom wall at the window, directly over the exhaust.

It'll have the Onan 5500 in it. It will run both 15K AC's and then some.
