Possible New Bunkhouse

Great, let me know how you like it and the actual weight when you pull across the scales. What kind of WD/Sway device will you have? I need to replace mine before I get the new one.

The place we were at had on in a showroom, so I crawled under it and took a look at the axles. Sure enough, they are stamped 4400lbs and are made by AL-KO, I am guessing they are with Dexter somehow. It may be a worth while upgrade at some point to put some 5 or 6 thousand pound axles later on. As stated above, they would walk, but my DW loves it, so I can make it work.

I do want the second AC when we head back East, so there goes 100lbs... :(

We probably won't go with a second AC. We live in VA and vacation in MB for 2 week stretches in the summer. Our 15k AC and 34' TT did just fine.

I use the 1200lb 4pt Equalizer system. Dealer will transfer this over tomorrow.

Correct me if I am wrong but if the axles are 4400 that is 8800 lbs. Less than than CCC of the trailer. However, the WDH will transfer weight off the TT axles resulting in well under 8800lbs on the TT axles. So IMO it would not be worth putting in heavier axles.

Also, Outback is coming out with new colors after the Hershey RV show next week. The dealer we are buying ours from got a prototype in August of the new colors. Very sharp. Black front cap, tan sides. Better graphics. PM me and i will send you a link to the dealer photos. We love it in comparison to the white sides and brown cap.

When we saw a floor plan like this we scoured the internet for other options. All of them came in too long(typically over 37'). I did not want to tow a 37' TT so I ruled those out. Others just did not have the open feel the large super slide provides. When you walk in you feel you are in a great room at your house. Very 5th wheel feeling for us as well. Can't wait. Hope the walk through doesn't pose any issues.
