Eclipse Altitude reviews

First as a RV owner I must admit that the RV shows great. It comes down to a few things that we all must be aware about, it doesn't matter how much you spend on these units units, you will continue to spend, spend and spend. In two years of ownership, I've had to replace: 1. All the LED ceiling lights. 2. Replaced all the stabilizers jacks. 3. Upgraded the axles and suspension system because of alignment issues. 4. Rewired the bunk bed motor. 5. Had to fix the kitchen sink that fell into the abyss. 6. Replaced all the brake system (s). All four wheels were over greased by the factory. I wondered why my brake controller was set too high. 7. Awning had to be replaced due to pulling away from rig. 8. Laid new flooring over theirs due to quality issues and tearing. 9. Flood lights need to be replaced (does anyone know what to order them from, maybe China?). It seems to me that manufactures should develop a quality assurance program for their units. I guess welcome to the money pit owners of America. Show less

The quality is the worst of any rv we have owned (25 to date) ref. was not hooked to the breaker panel and the breaker was not even in the panel or labeled for it.Microwave was hung 1 1/2" out of level,big slide out tips out as you make right turns then flops back in (VERY SCARY),shower door leaks,wires not connected to generato properly,spare tire keeps lowering itself, many more items to list Show less

BUY AN ECLIPSE AND TAKE YOUR CHANCES See below. They did NOTHING I recently experienced tires rubbing on inside of fender wells during turns. Upon checking alignment, and further inspection, cracks in the frame were found in the axle area particularly above each of the spring hangers. See attached photo files. This trailer has never been subjected to any type of overload condition, nor even near the specified load carrying capacity, having hauled only one DRZ 400 motorcycle. Failure such as this is completely inexcusable and indicative of frame sizing grossly under capacity for the unit and/or manufactured from completely substandard steel. My understanding is that the frame supplier is Lippert Industries but still Eclipse Manufacturing has responsibility for assuring nothing but correct and quality materials are used in manufacture of its products. This same problem with Eclipse unit(s) has occurred before but only discovered following catastrophic failure. A major safety hazard! This failure has been reported to NHTSA even though the defect was found before a disaster occurred. Show less
