Canadian Built RV's
Hi There, We recently got some help from one of the members here, on a link to a Triple E Topaz for sale. We currently have an Okanagan Eclipse, and would like to get a bit longer, but not over 32.5...

I know we exchanged posts in the other thread but here are the specs on ours:
2008 Corsair Excella Platinum 34.5 CKTS
Length: 35' 4"
3 slides, rear living room with island kitchen
Dry weight: 12,970 lbs
GVWR: 15,500 lbs
Hitch weight: 2,300 lbs per the brochure but it is more than 3,500 lbs loaded
Dual 7,000 lb axles with disc brakes and lube shackles
We looked at several Triple E Topaz Touring, Okanagan, and Citation Supremes in 2005 as well as toured both the Okanagan and General Coach factories. We found the General Coach units made the best use of space, were much brighter inside with the dual pane residential skylights, and had several better built features such as the ventilated attic space, etc. We stayed in our unit in Edmonton in April when it was -10 C and the unit was plenty warm with very little condensation inside.
We have spoken to several General Coach owners while camping and we have not heard of any major issues with their units. Any issues that they did have were quickly and relatively easily repaired. And several of them were repeat owners as well which said something to us. You will see several of them being used in Northern Alberta as accommodations for oil patch workers which is a pretty good testament to their cold weather abilities.
