2015 Georgetown XL

I just took a test ride in the HR Vacationer 36BR with the rear bath, what a nice coach! Very nicely built. The composite flooring is very thick and looks great. I like it better than tile as the grout tends to dirty quickly and crack. I thought I would not like the rear bath, but the DW loves it and it does grow on you. Now I can take a p@%p in private when she is taking a shower. The coach just 'felt' more solid driving down the road, and no more LCI jacks when I park!

We were looking at the xl with the tile floors. We noticed on several that the grout was cracking or missing. The dealer told me the factory was shipping him new grout to repair, that it always happens in transit with new models? Scared my wife and I from considering.

One other thing that occurred to me is of the two coaches we are looking at FR Georgetown XL, and HR Vacationer, HR uses Power Gear Jacks and FR uses LCI. I had the 6 point LCI jacks on my 5th wheel and they gave me NOTHING but trouble. On the other hand, I had Big Foot 4 point jacks on my Georgie Boy for 6 years with ZERO problems. Don't know anything about the Power Gear jacks?

Thoughts?

You know bobtucker, after the wife and I talked about them, we both decided to steer clear of them if we can. The Georgetown has so many other places where they could sleep, she does not want to give up the wardrobe for them.

The other RV that we have been looking at is the HR Vacationer. I'm going to look at both this Friday.

Just a quick note on the bunk beds.. They make great storage for all kinds of use when you don't travel with grandkids we have them and love the extra use we get out of them!

Think twice about bunk beds. Grandchildren grow up and have other activities, baseball, soccer, girls/boys, etc. Air mattresses work out just fine.

Just a thought.

Not sure what year they started but all the Georgetowns have fiberglass roofs, not just the XL models.

We had the 2012 George Town 378XL and we love the MH. Ride is smooth and the F53 with the V10 has the power we need. We tow our 2012 Chevy Cruze and average 7.5-8 mpg. We have had a couple minor issues but FR has taken care of them under warranty. One thing I will highly recommend is a great dealer they will make or break your experience with the MH. Would recommend to friends and family on the product.

I know the XL also has bigger storage doors and 22.5" wheels, plus other minor details. we have been looking at the Georgetowns and that is the brand we are considering! with the bunks and residential fridge. I would like the XL, but the price difference for weekend trips and a couple of 1-2 week long trips isn`t enough to justify it. now if we were going to travel more than that....then the XL would be the way to go!

I`ll have to pull the brochure out and check on the roof material. I think both Georgetowns have fiberglass roofs.

One of the reasons that I like the XL is because of the fiberglass roof. I read in some literature that it is wrapped. What is the outer material? Is it fiberglass?
