Thanks for this Video. I'm sorry you had to put up ith this. I love your Schnauzers, my wife and I have one!!!!!

Was about to buy this same camper they had been returned to the dealer and well, something didn’t seem right. Now I know. Thank you so much. You saved me a TON of headache I’m not equipped to fix.

Thank you! I was going to buy a Bushwacker! You saved me a bunch of money and heartache. Sorry for all your problems. Thank you again for keeping others from what you have gone through.

That review certainly makes me think twice! Thank you. It's exactly what I wanted to know. You confirmed what I was already thinking about their workmanship. God Bless you and I hope you have a favorable outcome.

Thank you so much for sharing this video. We were going to experience this for the first time. We love outdoors and my husband is going to retire soon. We got in love with the unit and going to buy it today. I could not sleep the entire night just thinking if we were going to have a problem after we buy it until I got to see your video. Thank you so much for sharing it.

Thank you for the video. I purchased a new 2023 Bushwhacker plus 15FK at a steep discount ($11,841). Have not taken it out for any trips yet but, will be careful with all the points that you have spoken about. A good alternative will be a 16-foot Scamp, although the price is double.

Thank you so much for sharing your story .we have been looking at those. You saved us from making a big mistake.

I was going to buy one next week. You changed my mind. Thanks So sorry you had this experience!

I am glad I found your video this morning. My husband wants to look at campers at a local dealer tomorrow. They have several of these, and they will fit our needs. I am sure he would have wanted to buy one immediately after seeing our car could tow it, and the interior features would work for us. I am going to hold out for a fiberglass trailer, even if we must spend our Christmas vacation visiting dealers around the country! Thanks for taking the time to share your problems.

Thank you Sir for this video. I learned many things as i had every intention to buy one but now, have changed my mind. Thank you again for your help .

Your issues are common with many manufacturers unfortunately. I've learned to change things before rolling out on a trip. This is completely unacceptable at today's prices! Crazy. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you so much for saving many of us from making horrible purchases and bearing lots of grief. I'd buy you and your SO dinner if I could.

I just recently purchased the Braxton Creek Bushwhacker Plus 17MB (2023 version) about a month ago. I have already had to replace (repair completely), one of the dinette seat support assemblies because it completely came apart. I haven't used the opposing seat yet, but have no doubt that is also built to the same non-quality standards. Thank you for sharing your nightmare with the rest of us. It is clear to me now the reason why the RV industry has such a terrible reputation for quality construction. It's because there is no quality construction in the RV industry. Cheers! wjm

Thank you for sharing your experiences. I was looking at this manufacturer but will find another. Moreover, I’ll spread your word to others.

I was thinking of buying either Braxton creek or another cheaper teardrop. After seeing this review and then reading more reviews on a few websites for both, I went with the more expensive but well built Little Guy Max. Thank you for your review!

Same here, was about to pull trigger on freesolo romo, there's reason why their asking price lower. Thanks for the video Jim!!!

yup you just saved me money! I was looking at getting this until I found your video! Thank you!

I almost bought this exact make and model...as I was sitting inside the bushwhacked plus some interior mounding popped off and I noticed it has some flimsy thin tiny staples holding everything together. I got my deposit back, went across the street and ordered a 2022 Tab320s Boondock. Manufacture will occur in November and it will be shipped to my dealer in January...so excited. The Tabs are quality built.

I looked at a Braxton Bushwhacker 12sk at a camper show. I was so excided and put money down for the dealer to hold it. I was going to pick it up this weekend but, thanks to your video I will be looking at other options. THNAK YOU!

I went with Casita. Many are still going strong after several decades. But I had been seriously considering a Bushwhacker Plus! The one I stepped inside of screamed of shoddy un-workmanship.

Thank you for this very informative video. With a product this lacking, they will not be in business long. I was seriously considering being one of these until I came across the myriad of videos saying, don't buy a Braxton Creek. Again... THANK YOU!

Sir, thank you for this video. I was looking at buying one. You just saved me a lot of money.

Thank you for sharing your experiences on the Braxton Creek. I've crossed it off my list. I hope you'll somewhat enjoy your camper, once everything is fixed. Thank you and stay safe.

I've been looking for a teardrop camper but don't want to pay 40K and more... I stumbled upon a FreeSolo Plus Romo that seemed to be 'hiding in plain sight' at a dealer just down the street from me! Before I watched your video, I looked at the pics of it, closely. First thing I noticed was that it only has 2 rear stabilizers (none in front). Then I noticed there was no tv. (Not a big deal, really). My concern was that every used teardrop camper that I'd seen up to that point has been at a minimum 20K and higher (mostly higher- like in the 30's especially for this late a model year- 2021 -but bear in mind; they were not 'braxton creek free solo'. They were NuCamp or Little Guy's). NOW I understand WHY they're only asking 16K for a 2021 model FreeSolo Romo. I'm glad I stumbled across your video. Thank you for sharing. I'll steer clear of this manufacturer.

I looked at your website while at work today. I was looking at one of these seriously up until today. Now I know why the dealer in Clarksville IN had them way back on the back lot.

thank you. I was considering buying one of these. I was slightly concerned about poor design details, obviously little thought put into some areas or lack of experience. But there are few affordable trailers available under 2,500 lbs. I will keep looking.

Thank you so much for the video. I was looking at the bushwhacker plus 17RE. Not no more.

Wow, thanks for the video. We have been looking at these but defiantly removing it off the list. We really wanted an Alto but they are expensive not to mention the waiting list. And if we have any problems we have to take it back to Canada for repairs.

Thank you. I am retired and researching. I had this one on my interested list!

Thanks for saving me a lot of money and more important a big headache that I couldn't get rid of

I’m looking to buy a teardrop within the next month. I just started looking at Bushwhackers. Looks like I can stop looking and go back to my first choice. Thanks for the video!

Wow, I was about to go to Mesa AZ and get one, I knew that they had QA issues but thought that they would be minor fixes but this is way too much for me to put my hard earned money into. Thanks for the video.

Thanks for the video. I looked at one in Flagstaff yesterday and the shower walls weren't properly installed. The dealer wanted $22,500 for a Bushwhacker Plus 17 FD. I plan on living in a small trailer because of the high cost of rent in Northern Arizona. However, I'm still researching different manufacturers and models before I make a decision.

Amen Brother! We have the exact experience

God bless you for doing this excellent video. What they are doing is criminal.

Thank you for your thorough review.

Thank you so much. This seriously saved me from making a mistake.

Damn.. it was one of my top 3 but ya just scared me and it right off the list! lol! Thanks for the video! I won't be getting this one.

I'll start off by saying "thanks for this video". I was scheduled for a visit to a Braxton dealership tomorrow to look at the Free Romo... cancel that... thank you for showing the cons.

Wow, l am seriously surprised as this line of trailers does seem to be marketed as heavy duty high clearance Boondocking travel trailers. Thanks soo much for sharing your experience; we'll definitely be sidestepping this brand!

Hey Jim, I own a Bushwhacker 10ss. Smaller sized trailer with similarly sized problems. I've had all the same QC issues, lack of documentation, and unhelpful responses from BC... sorry for your experience.

Thanks for the info Jim

Sorry to hear you've had issues. . We bought a Bushwacker plus right after covid hit in May of 2019, purchasing the 15FK model. We wanted to get something that we could use off the grid during covid and thereafter. We live in Southern CA but decided to purchase the unit in Iowa to save money and not pay crazy CA markups. The trip was almost 2000 miles. So we hauled it back to Los Angeles and slept in it on the way. Since that time we've been out in the Bushwacker plus about 15 times going to Morrow Bay once at a campground and also a week in Death Valley in the winter, but the other times mainly going to the desert for a few days at a time off road or in the back country. The trailer has held up well for the most part, but we did have some issues some of which the gentleman is talking about. We had to silicone the shower because the walls came apart in a couple places as well as some of the cosmetic stripping inside the RV. . .The step into the trailer was a little weak so we reinforced it with some bolting. The stereo came on by itself sometimes which drains the battery which I found annoying. One shelf board came loose from the staples, so it was bolted. Lastly we sealed around the front door with silicone and foam because we saw air gaps from the inside in that area. We have since bolted or screwed in all areas that have staples. Besides for the stereo issue I consider these things general maintenance that we've had to do on any unit, especially since we use it offroad and off grid camping. . you do have to be gentle with it if you go offroad though as it does tend bounce around over 25mph on dirt roads. . We paid 11 g for the Bushwacker and I consider this a bargain. I'm aware that some other trailers out there are built better, but they also cost more. Maybe we got a good one, but I should also mention my friend 30 miles away bought the other Bushwacker model and she hasn't had any problems except some maintenance inside as well. Sorry to hear about your other issues and warranty problems with the company. I've called Braxton Creek to inquire about the stereo and they said I had to talk to the manufacturer of the the unit which is Jensen. They sent me a new unit but I had to install it myself. Mainly I'm pleased with the camper

We also have a 2022 free solo plus din. There were a couple hiccups. But then we have owned numerous RV's travel trailers, cab over camper, 2 class c's and now we own a 33' Super C and each and every own has had all of the same issues, unfortunately it comes with the territory. We bought the Baxton Creek free Solo plus din knowing full well its going to have problems... But for the price they are very much Worth the value. We rent out the unit we both. And everyone that has rented it has been very happy. Personally i think these complaints are well legitimate but most can be taken care off with a little effort. Sorry for there loss but this is usually a first time rv owner that is not very handy. And pr8 shouldn't have purchased one to begin with.

Thank you! For keeping us from a nightmare experience. They should pay you for your quality control and testing. If they want to prove their quality and customer service desire, they will take this and make it better. Let's see. I believe they will be out of business sooner than later.

Thanks for the video. Just curious, how well does your escape suv tow that sized trailer? Any sway?

Kudos to you for making this video. I recently looked at one of these (different model) and spent about 4 minutes inside it and instantly thought the same thing you just proved. Absolute cheap garbage material and construction!

Looked for 3 years before buying. Sorry you guys got screwed. Settled on an all fiber glass Casita and have had no issues. Very well built. This company and all the stick and tin construction rvs were crossed off my list a while back.

Braxton Creek needs to see this! I was introduced to one priced below 12K for a 2024. Rethinking it now…you don’t deserve the hassle you went through. VE in Baltimore

Very sad situation. There are documentaries being made as of late stating that all but the top 3 companies are cranking out campers do to exceptionally high demand with absolutely no regard for quality control. The problem seems to be a shortage of workers and a especially workers with trade level skills.

Thank you. I have been looking at tear drops and Braxton Creek was on my list. I spoke to a dealer yesterday who had carried this line and they ended their relationship with BC because of quality issues and poor support. SHAMEFUL Braxton Creek.

Bought a bushwacker 12rok radical and so far so good at this time .

This is the same for every rv manufacturer not just Braxton creek except maybe the warranty is more screwed up in this one

Very enlightening

Wow, I wonder if the smaller teardrop has similar issues. I don’t need the shower, toilet, water heater etc, but now I’m wondering regardless. Thanks!

We have a 2022 Freesolo. It spent the first year in the dealership, they didn’t seal any of the outer panels, so it leaked. Lucky for us this was at the dealership, for another repair. The trailer was bought in June of 2022 and has been out for two nights since then. Doing a lot of sealing and upgrading myself to hopefully avoid any further issues. I wouldn’t buy a Braxton creek, our dealership basically had to rebuild it.

Thank you very much!

Cindy Yurek- We bought a 2022 15FK, but have only used it three times. So far it is ok, but we are not avid campers. We are farmers who want to take a break and book mostly one nighters. Here's another point. Our 2004 Toyota Tacoma cannot pull a camper heavier than this one. So for us it works out and we are happy with our purchase so far. Sorry Cindy, that emergency window latch can come back at you. Not sure why that design. We keep the bed down and I bought a 4" mattress topper. Heaven! Then I bought a 10x10 EZ- UP 6.4 Cube tent We use it for a screen house and also have two cots for guests. So we use the camp ground picnic table or a small table in the screen tent. The 6' clearance in the 15FK is fine for us and a blessing on a rainy day to have a hard shell. If I had the money, I would buy a bigger truck and a 21' Little Guy Max, but this works well for us and it is also a cute guest house in the summer. Braxton Creek should be ethical towards their customers. I am a retired corporate Senior Buyer and customer service is everything! I'm sorry to hear all these complaints and issues. I hope they can be resolved or perhaps consider trading in for a better grade of camper. This forum makes me feel like we could benefit from finding someone who has the knowledge and expertise to put together a comprehensive users manual at a reasonable price. I would would definitely buy a copy! I keep tabs with Mitch at TRAVELING TEARDROP on You Tube. He has done some modifications to his 15FK and is satisfied with the overall results. He and his wife camp all year round. We hope to meet with them when they visit New Hampshire. Best of luck to everyone! ~ Diane

I was about to buy a Bushwhacker Plus 15FK trailer but after seeing this video have decide against it. I guess it says a lot when there is no official Braxton Creek or Bushwhacker KZread channels. Usually manufacturers will have their own channels for marketing, to provide user tips etc and encourage costumer feedback. No KZread is a bit strange. They leave everything up to local dealers. Not the best sign. I found their corporate "PRINCIPLES" interesting: Braxton Creek PRINCIPLES: Quality Craftsmanship: Doing things right the first time. This saves time, money, and relationships, and it's reflected in our 1-year Bumper-to-Bumper Warranty-a rare find in this industry. Integrity: Doing what we say we'll do. And, doing unto others as we would have them do unto us. This is where it all starts and ends at Braxton Creek. Ease of Doing Business: A limited distribution strategy, paired with a dealer and customer-friendly warranty claim process, provides the certainty all parties deserve. It's a shame. I liked the idea behind these trailers. Too bad its not executed well.

Thank you!

What year is your trailer? I have the 15 fk. After the first outing I gave it back to the dealer with a list of 8 needed repairs.

Sadly I have to agree with your points. The trailers ended up being very poorly built. We are about to follow up with our local dealer and hope to have better luck than you did with being close to the dealer. The lack of any actual manual to help you know how to use things is shocking to be honest. I can't believe they just put in the manuals for the stove and such with no how to based on how the trailer is designed and products are installed.

You should have purchased your camper from A&L RV Sales, they have 8 stores located in TN, VA, GA, and NC and offer a Forever Warranty at no cost to you.......you just have to get a safety inspection once a year and you are covered. This is a no deductible warranty and covers all of your appliances and water heater and other things that you have talked about in this video. From what I have experienced it's not always what you buy but who you buy it from.

Jim speaks the truth! I bought a BW Teardrop. Dexter brakes never worked correctly. I had to disable them. The hurricane hinge was too short for the application, rain water went directly into the kitchen area on both sides of the door. The propane gas fittings were installed INCORRECTLY and leaked propane at the stove. The bottom edge of the unit was not sealed-all four sides. It just goes on and on. I had the trailer into the dealer 4 times for the brakes. The techs could never figure out why the passenger side brake shoes would SELF-ADJUST OUTWARD so as to make full, under pressure, contact with the drum. Braxton Creek is a company that I liken to Joe Biden...not worth a dam.

I wish I would have done my research before getting mines. I've had it for five months and I'm ready to get real of mines, because I've hardly used it. I have seriously put in some funds with this bad bugger! When I purchased mines from Dunlap in Bowling Green, KY (avoid them in its entirety). I'm a single color woman who didn't know much about a camper. Got it because it would save me money from renting a hotel while being on contracts. Well, they rigged up my hitch by placing the wiring close to the haust pipe and burned the wiring and I had to pay the labor fee that wasn't covered by the warn or anything. That was $200 dollars and the blower to the fauna continued to run over 28hrs, and had to take it to a shop to find that the air from the propane needed released. Man, this camper has it's ups and downs so be aware.

I’ve noticed it’s hot or miss with the building. Seems like have no QC after being built.

The RV industry is total junk but I'm thankful I watched this video. They do keep sucking me in, even though I know better. I have cut the line on these folks before they got me in the boat thanks to this video.

I feel for anyone who has a bad experience when it comes to buying a car, boat, RV, or travel trailer. And, I hope it never happens to me. With that being said I would like to share a positive experience concerning the Bushwracker Plus. We bought ours about three years ago from Tom's Camperland in Mesa and paid $14,000 for it. We have taken it through deserts, over mountains and as far away as the central coast of California. The only problems we have had is that after traveling 25 miles off road down an extremely rutted dirt road and 25 miles back the refrigerator wasn't able to run off the electric. It turned out that a wire had come loose in the switch. Tom's Camperland in Tucson fixed it with no problem. My grandson also pulled too hard on the dinette leg (he was converting the dinette table into his bed) and pulled the screws out of the table. I fixed that by putting in bigger screws. I also replaced the battery shortly after I bought it with a better battery (the battery that comes with the trailer is cheap) but that was no problem. Other than these minor issues I have not had any problem with anything. I checked out the Tab Tear Drop campers but I just couldn't see paying $35,000 to $40,000 for a camper that I couldn't stand up in. I hope that you have been able to work out all your issues. If you can, I think you will find that the Bushwracker Plus can provide you with the camping experience you are looking for.

Thanks

For the water heater issues, I'd recommend replacing it with a tankless unit. For the roof leak, check that the sealant is properly applied, you should be able to see it from a short ladder. If the sealant isn't in all the right places, or is cracked, you may need the roof resealed.

Was going to look at one this weekend. Now I’m not to sure

Wish I saw this before I bought mine. It’s been nothing but a nightmare, before even the first trip. Was in for warranty twice and then they tried to actually steal my trailer by contacting my bank and paying off my loan, unknown to me completely. If it weren’t from my bank, sending me a standard payoff letter, acknowledging the payment, I would’ve had no ideathat they were planning on sending a driver to pick up my camper after buying it back from me. I never authorized.

I was thinking of getting a 23 17mb and I have the same tow vehicle, Ford Escape with the 2.0 engine and a 3500 tow rating. Can you tell how your Escape towed that weight of vehicle ?? After seeing your video now I have doubts but still am curious how your escape towed it. Do you have another teardrop with a bathroom you can suggest, thanks

@jas8880

Don’t do it. My Escape Titanium had issues with towing from the start. Initially overheating and then the transmission resulting in a $4700 overhaul. It only had 17k miles when I started towing. Also, I pumped the tires up 10 psi to improve gas mileage. Occasionally got 13 but averaged about 11 and was as low as 7. No matter what you tow, get a truck. I got a 2022 Frontier and feel a lot better when I tow. Similar mileage without a trailer and 13-15 towing. If your budget will stretch, look at Tab. Good luck!

What do you expect for this price point? It’s much less than the competition for a reason. I’m looking to buy one to strip and rebuild. The frame and shell are solid so I’d love to rebuild one as the frame and shell are the most difficult parts to DIY

Think I'll look a little harder at the Scamp travel trailer.

Oh mine, you sound like you seriously had some issues and should have returned it. I thank goodness I haven't had any problems with my short besides it wasn't so useful until I replaced it with another one that works great! I had to re-screw a few screws but nothing to major. I have a fam, but a FreeSolo is made just about the same. Now, I do have some minor functions with how they made the door panel for the bottle door at the lower bunch that I had to place memory form to keep the bugs out. And yes, that's very undetail for how they made it. I contacted Brandson to tell them about this, and had to re-screw the board at the button of the refrigerator. So yes, I agree there are some issues and need improvement.

I'm an avid RV enthusiast had a nearly brand new 2021 popup for exactly one weekend before I sold it due to poor quality. And that was a brand name company you'd instantly recognize. In my quest for a hardside camper, I've heard next to nothing about Bushwackers on KZread aside from poor quality. Yes, some owners claim they're satisfied with their products overall. But it appears that those folks are very very handy when it comes to fixing the multitude of issues they all have. Remember, people. There's a reason why the buy-in at the dealership is so low. You get what you pay for. Caveat emptor.

We had the same problem and it was a loose wire. Open the external access panel remove each wire and replace it. We took ours to Oasis RV and they found the fault and fixed it in seven minutes.

There comes a point when trying to save money on a camp trailer is not worth it. This product is one of thoes occasions. Yes ask any dealer, Braxton Creek is the best camper on the market for the price! There should be Lemon Laws for campers. Like most people, I only trust word of mouth from actual owners. The last thing you want on the road are problems that should not be problems. Thanks.

Did the escape do well towing it? MPG? Thanks for video

I have a 2017 Titanium with the factory tow package. It includes a transmission oil cooler. Originally, I was getting 8-9 MPG. I raised my tow hitch from what the dealer set it at and inflated the tires to 50 PSI which is what FORD recommends when towing. That moved me to 12 MPG.

@@markd8004 The Phoenix dealer was not very good, I think it was the service rep I had. They opened a Tucson branch that seems very switched on and currently have my trailer to address all the issues. The air conditioner went a few months ago and Braxton Creek sent the dealer a replacement. Their advertising says two years bumper to bumper warranty. The fine print says the components, like the a/c is based on the manufactures warranty (1 year for the a/c). I am pleasantly surprised they sent a replacement after twenty months.. The shower is being resealed for a second time but I don't have much hope. There is an outdoor shower and we purchased a small pop-up tent www.amazon.com/dp/B01AT3T0GC/ref=syn_sd_onsite_desktop_285?ie=UTF8&pd_rd_plhdr=t&th=1. That is how we will shower going forward. The dealer is good but busy. When they opened in Tucson they had a three month backlog. They did however take our trailer in and are working on it as they can. We are hoping for a trip in the next couple of weeks. If they get it all working, we will keep it.

I almost bought the 2022 same one. Glad I didn't now,thanks.

We have the 17bh. We had it three months and same thing. Shower falling apart, condensation d/t air conditioner running which warped all of our cabinetry and caused mildew. Air conditioner leaking d/t a seal being left off by Braxton creek causing the motherboard of the furnace to having to be replaced. It has been in the shop more than it has been at our house. Problem after problem. Would never recommend this camper.
