Teton made the Sunrise and I think it was 32-34ft.

Yes Teton made the Sunrise. We bought one new in 03. Had it until 2017. GVWR was 14,995. They called it a 33' closer to 34' but not a big deal. Had three slides.

They are cranking them out.many brands doing ojt with workers. Out in the middle of nowhere and your touch pad takes a dump let me know how that works.

I love the new steps. I am 280lbs though and the folding stairs are like a diving board

I wont buy used for one very good reason at least for me

I will not pay money to buy someone's problems and or their screwed up repairs.

That's a pretty big assumption to make. There are a lot of good used units on the market. On this forum we have all read about some new major RV issues too.
