Hello Court & Maria - you are gonna love that rig the more you use it. Virtually no problems with it. I have an 09 same model. Done some interior upgrades, as you might have read, to make it a little more accomadating for our family of six. Have actually slept eight at one point with the use of fold up cots. It gets lots of comments everywhere we go. Did you get a gas or diesel model? 80k sounds like it may be gas - if not then you got a great deal! Any questions or problems arise hit us up here and we'll try to walk you through.
Theo - I was thinking of doin the ladder also but there's really no great support structure to tie it into behind that rear cap. I have seen other rigs with the ladder on the side, a fold flat version, but don't know if they're capable of being added without knowing where there may be a solid mounting surface to tie in to. I use my 14' multi fold ladder to get up to do some cleaning - and I hate it. Not a big fan of being 12' off the ground without a safety of some kind - but you gotta do what you gotta do!
Good observation on the connectors. It's probably a good idea to check all connections occasionally with all the movement that goes on during transit and leveling due to frame shift - as slight as it may be.
Heading out to Oakham, Ma this weekend to pine acres.
Big trip in 3 weeks to upstate NY to thousand island campground and dragging the boat behind us for some lake fun as well.
Here's to the full swing of summer!
Happy trails everyone!
