Anyone seen the 2011 Kountry Aire units? I am interested in the quality of these units knowing that they are really a renamed Torrey Pine. Is the quality any where near what it was before the original Kountry Aire was dropped?

We are thinking about a new 5er and we have always liked Newmar. But then that was older quality that we really liked.

I haven't seen one in person, but it looks like all they really did was strip it down to decrease the price of them. Unfortunetely, this also took away some of the items that make them a high end fifth wheel. We currently have a 2008 Kountry Aire and are looking to change units. We went out to IN and looked at the DRV Suites. We are very impressed with the Elite Suites. At this point I would say when we go to make a change we would go with an Elite Suites.

But.....this is just my opinion.

Agreed. We are also looking at DRV as well as the Hitchhiker (Champagne) models.

But I needed to ask. The dealer I have worked with over the years is great and I hate having to deal with someone else. At least NuWu I can work directly with the factory and they will customize a bit.
