We are currently looking to purchase a new RV travel trailer. We just sold out Jayco Eagle and have been doing a lot of research to purchase new unit. We came across Outdoors RV that fits are needs actually and what we are looking for as far as construction. However, we a very far from the nearest dealer. We have no problem driving far to pick up our new RV but are wondering if anyone is on the east coast with their Outdoors RV can we come and take a look at it. It doesn't have to be the same model of what we are looking for just want to see the build quality of the vehicle before we purchase. Thanks

We have a 2015 Timber Ridge 249RKS.

Where did you purchase it from? Did you see it before your purchase? Did you pick it up or have delivered? We are in New York but have land in St Albans Maine. We visit Maine often!!

ORV has limited its dealer network to the western states. However a few units have probably wandered east over the years.

We went through the same scenario after deciding to trade our Forest River Salem. We live in the mid-west so most of the local dealers sell units made in Indiana and of the same quality with different names. We found a used Wind River for sale near us, bought it and fell in love with it. I know you want to actually see one, but we can assure you there are no comparisons in the fit and finish of these trailers!! They are somewhat heavier, but go down the road easier than our old one (2015) and have many standard features that others offer as options.

You might have luck finding something closer on RVTrader.com.
Good luck.

We have a 2016 Black Rock 22RBS purchased in BC and brought back home in QC. We love it!

I leave in a few weeks to pick ours up. We're from upstate, really upstate New York, 14 minutes from Canada. It's been a two year project learning what we wanted in a TT. Now sight unseen, we put a deposit on one and waited for it to be built. The finalists were Northwoods Arctic Fox and ORV. ORV won for a multitude of reasons, one of which was the reputation the factory takes care of you after the sale.

We live in Wisconsin and purchased from a dealer in Idaho this spring. When we decided that we wanted an ORV we flew out to Oregon, did the factory tour and then visited a few nearby dealers looking at units. We are the type that have to see in person. We came home, waited for the weather to get warmer then put our existing unit up for sale. All that time I was keeping a list of dealers that had the model we wanted in stock. Once ours sold we called the closest dealer and made a deal over the phone. I wish you luck in your search. If you want to come to Wisconsin we are more than happy to show you ours.

Thank you all very much for all the responses. We are seriously considering a 280RKS for our next camper. Thank you Santana we may take you up on your offer to look at your unit. I'll let you know what we do.

I drove 1600 miles, RV unseen, to pick up a GP F26CIS. Would I do it again, you bet. Looked at several units in the Atlanta area and just couldn't take the plunge as the quality, from what I saw online at ORV, far exceeded that of the competition in our area. It was well worth the trip and we made a great little vacation out of it. You won't go wrong or be disappointed driving that distance RV unseen. Spent two years as well figuring out what we wanted in a unit and am totally satisfied. So far no issues. We are planning a Yellowstone trip before years end and look forward to getting back out in our RV! Have a lot of fun when you get yours.
