Thoughts on XLR's

What are some opinions on the XLR toyhaulers? I have a local dealer that sells Forrest River products, but I know nothing about them. I am going to buy a Fifth Wheel Toyhauler this winter, I prefer something 3/4 ton towable. I have some photos of the new Thunderbolt 300x12 with a upgraded interior, with a fireplace and nicer entertainment center than the ones on the lots now. Even upgraded their not as plush as some I have looked at, just wanting some opinions from owners of these types of Toyhaulers.

    Like Crazy C said, take a look at the cargo capacity. We looked at some XLRs last month. One of them (bigger than what you are looking at) only had 12xx lb cargo capacity. By the time you have food, gas, etc there is no room left for any toys.

    We purchased a 13 XLR 27hfs last fall, we have been pleased with the fit and finish. Had to have the front cap resealed when new, other than that most of my issues have been minor and newbie enduced.
    I would recommend their product, nicer than some of the other brands on the market.

    The 300x12 looks real nice from the pics.

    My only beef with that particular model has been with it's lack of cargo capacity....not nearly enough if you plan on filling the garage with something.
