The fresh water tank fell out, there was an awful squeal from the wheel hubs when turning, the slide was binding bad, factory TV mount fell off the wall, the front cap was faded bad, water pump quit working, bed support broke, ect, ect, ect.
Anyway, we took a beating but sold it and bought an XLR 5th wheel toy hauler. It's been a great trailer but I'm just not into the toy hauler layout. We recently went to our local jayco dealer to look at travel trailers and wouldn't you know it, we found a white hawk that we really really love.
Only problem is now I'm a little skittish with making another white hawk purchase. Have any other white hawk owners had good or bad luck you'd like to share with me?
Thanks!

Hi, we're in our first year of ownership, a 2017 White Hawk 28DSBH. We only have about 8 nights camping and 1,200 miles on her, so time will tell, but so far there have been no major issues. I shared some pretty detailed initial impressions
here a couple of weeks after we got her, and also wrote up our impressions on pickup day
here. I'd still stand by the things I wrote in both posts - nothing's really changed. Overall (and again, SO FAR), we're very happy with our White Hawk. <fingers crossed>
I will say that when you bought the 2012 I believe that was the first model year for the White Hawk. I always try not to buy the first model year of anything. I know early White Hawks had soft floor issues (when they were laminated rather than plywood), underrated axles, etc. Those flaws have all been worked out...
Hope this helps a little, good luck whatever you decide!
