We picked up our Cruise America majestic 27G November 13th 2015 and have just had a great time on our first outing of 35 days with as much off grid camping as possible. On the back we have a Rowdy SSR 150 scooter which has proven ideal for excursions when parked up, including climbing up mountains with 2 up, in the Chisos mountains at Big Bend.
Originally due to the location we had a survey carried out for us. When we picked it up a few small problems we found were fixed when we returned after a couple of days camping. During the process of buying we found CA helpful with our many protracted long emails and questions! They even stored for us on arrival many (and I mean many!) parcels we had delivered so we had everything set up ready for our trip. This was from motorcycle carrier to solar panels to …. Well everything! Then all we had to do was pick up the Rowdy we had ordered from AZ Scooters, Phoenix.
One problem we had was a flat outer right tyre one morning when checking – so glad we had brought a compressor from Harbour Freight. Pumped it up and fitted a valve cap from the scooter (none on the RV – but now all fitted!) as found air leaking from the valve. 30 miles later in the nearest town an new valve fitted free by tyre company ?. We now also have a valve tool for checking they are tight!
We original started in Orlando hiring a Majestic 28A for 2 weeks and then flying to Phoenix to pick up our 27G. We were reimbursed our flight costs up to $500 and our rental costs as per their agreements. Having used both models we have found the 27G ideal for 2 people and preferably to the 28A. It is slightly smaller than the 28A (about 1 foot narrower and 2 ft shorter ) but with the E450 wing mirrors the same width when passing!
We have added solar panels and by being careful spent up to 6 days off grid.
Anyone who would like more info on the 27G which is only just coming available from Cruise America please ask. They are only on the West coast and across to Phoenix. I hope to write a lot more up about them on Goodsam and the differences between the 28A and 27G before we are off on the next trip in February.
