Good and bad about Cougar Fifth Wheels

We have a 2014 Cougar but a different floor plan. Only problem I had was water got into he fridge compartment during a HUGE rain. Here is why. When you open the two covers on the outside of the trailer, there should be a lip behind the frame on the bottom. It should be caulked so that if water gets in, it hits the lip and it directs it back out....sort of like a backstop. Our lower access area had it, the top did not...at least it wasn't tall enough. I added a strip of quarter round molding, and caulked it up. Now if water gets in there it hits the lip/backstop and flows back out.

And one other thing, make sure the drain tube from the fridge is routed through the access panel so that any condensation from inside the fridge will drain out. Our was not and I did not notice it at first. Otherwise water will flow into the fridge compartment.

Overall, very happy with the rig.

I'm on my 3rd 5th wheel. The first two were Cougars. I feel cougars are a good entry level unit. It took us two 5th wheels to finally realize what we wanted or needed in our 3rd, and hopefully last 5 th wheel. We now have a 2014 Grand Design Solitude 369RL

I just picked up my 2015 Keystone Cougar from the dealer in Phoenix over the weekend. My wife and I did a lot of shopping before deciding on the Cougar 29SGS, and we are looking forward to taking it out for the first time this weekend!

That appears to be a nice unit...

You're starting out with a 15k btu a/c and 16" wheels...you can put a set of Goodyears on there to replace the Tow Kings (I blew two within 50 miles of one another at about 12,000 miles).

If your wired for a second a/c, have 50 amp service...fridge can handle what you need...shower is big enough. Looks like a ,very comfortable unit.

The patio ...I don't know. The Mosquitos are a problem part of the year...we probably would prefer the option of setting up away from the RV...near a campfire. And honestly, we don't sit outside and watch TV...with the rare exception of a UF/UGA football game with friends. I think only time will tell.
