2014 Wind River 250RDSW in the driveway!!!

Well, had the Sunnybrook 26CKS for 11 years. Now for the next 10. Even though the Outdoor RV line is top shelf there are still things to do to get it trip ready as there is any new TT. First off is to remove a thousand stickers that have glue of doom. Then a complete wax job to remove excess silicone sealer along most seals. Re-torque lug nuts. Install new shelf liner. I hope to find some that does not slide with the dishes and wad up in a corner. Put some carpet in the huge storage areas so the plastic storage containers stay put. Then figure out what will go where. Eventually I would like to make a floor for the tongue area but that will take some time. The big issue is the steps are not dog friendly. That is they have slots in them for traction when wet but it also will take a toe nail of my dog if caught wrong. Can't have that. The steps are radius on the front and that makes it even harder to mod. Any suggestions? Besides wraping them with duct tape. The list will continue.

    First warranty items. Both back window open and close mechanisms are broken and some cosmetic damage where the inside wall wraps from the fireplace to bath. Called dealer. I am sure all will be fixed OK. just a 45 min tow there. People that have those frame less windows, what do you think of the open-close mecchanisms? Seem a little weak to me.

    Exactly what Wayne said. CW has the carpet step covers with the radius...they look nice, help stop tracking in and saves a trip to the vet. Congrats on the new camper!

    The Wind River 250RDSW is one of their top sellers. This one came with all the options. It has the couch that makes into a comfortable bed. It is only 30 ft B to Ball and just under 7000 pounds. I really had my Sunnybrook dialed in and someone will be getting a great used TT. It's at Neils RV in So Cal. There is so much storage in the Wind River it will be hard to keep the weight down even though I tow with a Ram diesel. The bottom of the TT is fully covered but I can't help wondering how good, or bad, all the wireing and plumbing looks.
    BTW brulaz, I spoke to Jim Jones, CEO of Northwood and OutdoorRV at the Pomona show. He said a very large percent of their TT's go to Canada for sale there so they are built for the cold. Their goal is not to be the biggest, just the best.
    Now to go measure stuff and make more lists.

    Congrats on the Wind River.
    We just purchased a Timber Ridge 240RKS a month ago in B.C. and have brought it back to Ontario and now down to South Carolina.
    Except for some small issues, we're very happy with it.

    As far as I can tell, Outdoors RV makes good trailers.

    Congratulations on your fantastic new trailer. The Wind River 250RDSW would be my number one pick if moving up to a large trailer. Did you get the recliners or the sofa in the slide? What are you towing it with?
