No, not BlackStone, the Outdoors RV luxury trailer. Black Rock by Outdoors RV. Anybody seen one?They look sort of like the Creekside line. I spotted a couple 2014 models online at an Oregon dealer's website but don't see any mention of them on the Outdoors RV website.Think they mentioned Al framing, which would distinguish them from Creekside. But can't find any other info. ????

Do you mean Black StoneI have, but since we were shopping for a 5er I have no impressions other then knowing it's made by people using the same processes as Northwoods (many former Northwoods employees) and is owned by the same people.

Outdoor RV is improving the line and no longer has wood construction. Walls in all lines are alu frame. The Blackrock is a new replacement line. Stone vs Rock, I don't know what they were thinking. I still like the Wind River line.

BTW, Outdoor RV is building a 5er but I have no info on it. But it should be nice.

Now if they only used Azdel, it would be a hit out of the ballpark!WoodGlue

We like their products and would like to upgrade.

Several changes coming from them for 2014 models. I had several email conversations with them recently and they sent me a list of things between the Blackstone and Windriver changing from 2013-2014. Sounds like they are sprucing things up some more.

Heh, that's a long way from Ontario (Canada, not California). I'll probably give the factory a call again next spring before we order.
