We don't have that Sportster, but we enjoy the one we do have. It is built very well and they back any warranty problems. PM if you have any questions.

we have been strongly considering moving from a regular 5er to a toyhauler and have spent considerable time looking at and researching various brands .... right now K-Z is on the top of our list .... their Inferno has some really nice features but a bit more glitz than we are looking for .... my hope is they will begin including some of those features in their other lines ... the best made we have found is their Escalade Sportster, really hate they dropped their Montego Bay toyhauler line

we've got a 2008 KZ 33P and like it a lot. Good quality and workmanship. We haven't had any major issues since delivery in Feb & we've put about 1000 mi. on it so far.

We have a 35PX2 and have a few problems. Dealer took care of them. The only thing i have going is the brakes are almost worn out after around 10,000 miles. After all the other trailers we never had to replace brakes on any of them. i am in the process of ordering new lining form a local garage. I want to find something that will last a bit longer. Other than minor annoyances we like ours.

When we first purchased our Sportsman Sportster 2006 37Kx2, we liked it a lot. Since the warrantee has run out we have experienced the following that are real pains.
1. Had to replace brake linings on front axel because of faulty factory adjustment.
2. Decals blistered and shrunk badly. Factory sent out new set which were applied by a dealer. These blistered in one month.
3. Have had the fuel pump repaired three times. Each time it works for one fueling then quits.
4. Corner moldings and strip moldings have come loose in several places. The little brads just do not hold. Glue holds better. Also, in this vein, the joint tape between sections of paneling does not stick well and has to be re-glued.
5. Sliding mirror wardrobe doors will not stay adjusted and have to be realighned at every stop.
6. Several of the kitchen cabinet doors have warped and do not fit well now.
7. Several of the rivits that hold the skirting to the brackets have come out and had to be replaced.
I know that some will say that these are, for the most part, maintanance issues but we had our prior fifth for six years and never had these kinds of problems.
Oh yea, almost forgot, these just happened on our last trip - ended yesterday.
8. Had to replace a bad converter, then found out that the extended warantee does not cover any parts for owner repairs you have to call a professional.
9. Bedroom slide wiring shorted out and would not move in. Had a mobile repairman rewire around the factory job and then it worked (except for the four times when it blew a fuse). This is the same repairman that did not have a converter avalable. Final repair to be determined.

Thanks everyone for your replies we passed.I'm sure it was a good deal but there were a few things we wanted that were missing. I would really like to buy a Fuzion 362 or 373.
