whoops sorry for the late reply , I didn't see a notice to this thread.
well where do I start
1) do we still like it and have by now worked out the bugs: YES
2) do I have the basement air or 3 roof air: basement I have a whole thread on this.. we had many issues both electrical & mechanical with the AC system, but it works fine now but it is undersized for this unit. If I had my choice I would go with the 3 roof airs. that being said there is a lot of low overpasses,s out east and let me tell you we nearly make it under most, I mean like by an inch... so not sure how the 3 AC,s on top would work out. be very careful with the height
3) the RV does pull very well compared to my last RV ( 43ft toy hauler )
4) I can give you a whole list of issues we had ( also have a thread about it on here somewhere) but the shortlist is : AC issues, main slide leaked during rain, it was warped, stove oven quit ( was a pinched hose ) , and a bunch of smaller issues
5) one of the good points: forest river worked with me to get it into a shop and they fixed most of the issues , and even reimbursed me for money I spent on my own to fix the AC, and even paid for me to go by a portable AC while I was fixing my RV Ac , ( had to order parts supply chain delays etc )
6) which model do I have: I forget but it's not the one with the extra bunk room/office I have the other one. BUT would prefer the other one if I had kids with me and would be nice to use as an office but it cuts into bathroom size & food pantry size so is a trade-off
7) this thing Has a boat load of storage under it. a big plus
If you have any more questions feel free to ask
PS I am still staying in it in Harrisburg PA , I will be done here in a few weeks then I taking this RV to Colorado mountains until winter hits !
I probably have about a year and a half in this RV at this point . other than a few weeks where I flew back to PHX to go home ( time off work )
oh one more negative , I like the one level floor plan but its a pain to shut the door because your on the steps above the door and have to bend way over which is not east when you have stuff in your hand. also its a lot of steps all at once might not be good for older people or overweight people ... just saying I'm pretty much both
