Design - What were they thinking??
Sometimes I wonder what RV designers were thinking. Have you experienced "design flaws" w/ RV's that have you shaking your head. I don't want to trash ANY brand - just wondered... We love our Cou...
Forum Discussion
I can honestly say that Palomino/Sabre listens to their customers through the Forest River Forum. I sent a list of "complaints"/"design suggestions" into them after getting my model (new model for them at the time). In swapping messages with new owners of this same model, a good 50% of the things I recommended have been changed on new models.
In fact, I swapped emails with the sales manager with their prototype unit before it was finalized for the first builds. I commented on the position of the awning being awfully far forward. He told me later, my comment was the tipping point to moving it back. There had been internal discussion regarding the placement, but my email was "the" nail in the coffin so to speak.
BUT!
One of my biggest pet peeves - there's a light fixture in the bedroom where the ceiling slopes down right in the aisle beside of the bed. I manage to bang my head on it on an unusually regular basis. If they moved it 7" to be over the bed, you wouldn't have that issue. (This has been "fixed" in newer versions of this model.)
