Thanks. I sure hope some one keeps the maker alive, especially since I just bought one.

Anymore the name is just a name. The parts on all the units are pretty much the same. Other than needing someone to beat up for warranty service it doesn't make much difference what name is on the outside.

Well, so it goes.

Hopefully there are lessons that have been learned, and RVs to come will not have the problems so many of us have dealt with.

Of course that's contingent upon Columbus and the girls getting across the ocean.
Here's wishing you patience as you wait on the parts!
Unfortunately I had to consistantly query my local dealer to pursue an update on the parts order status - Dutchmen's comment back to me was that the dealer would order parts from Dutchmen, who would then in-turn have to order the part from that particluar vendor. 4 week turnaround minimum on that part of it. I'd encourage you to work with the dealer service rep to follow up with Keystone/Dutchmen on a weekly basis and ask for a status update.

Good Luck! I'll update this thread with the outcome from new part install. As a side note, I'm sure enjoying reading the threads from fellow Voltage owners - especially the modifications. Many thanks to all!

Was on another RVing website and happened to do a Google search on what my Aerolite product is really made by. At the time of purchase ( March 2012) I thought it was a Aerolite / Dutchman / Thor built product.

Having a slide issue and finding Keystone said they would honor a build issue if it was. But in reality I was only given "lip service" saying they don't think it was a "built issue". My 1000% opinion was a 5 year old could see it was a design / built issue. Even the Camping World tech who worked on it says it was absolutely a build issue. But CW wouldn't go to bat for me to push my case.

Was my 2nd Aerolite purchase, if Keystone is now handling the build and warranty, I'm sorry to say it might be my last....

Dutchman or grand design, well I guess you know what I chose
Sure hope I didn't make the wrong decision. 2017 Kodiak 291RESL I do love it, just hope it stays that way
