Also bought a new 5er Today

Bought a new K-Z Durango G384RLT today at the
Tacoma WA RV Show...We had no intention of
buying anything, we really like our Coachmen
Chaparral DS277 but it is 11 years old an I
started to worry about it nickel and dime us
to death :o(

I don't know if we made a mistake by buying
the Duratain Opt. which is for outside and
under body protection along with inside fading.

I have always sort of ran the other way on
something like that, but when the guy told me
that I would not have to wax 40ft of trailer
or see any black streaks for 5 years I was sold.
We will see if I wasted my money after the
first year....

I did get the to swap out the King pin to a
top of the line More ride and put slide
toppers on all three slides as show promo ...

All I can say is they really wanted to sell a
trailer and we got it 10k under list

    If you don't keep the roof clean, you'll get black streaks. The only difference is, for a couple years, the black streaks will wash off easy. By the third year, you've lost your money and you'll be investing in the wax stock market again!

    LOL Well three years is better than none, it only money...
  • Congrats on your new rolling home. We just bought a KZ Durango Gold last November and are loving it. You're going to be so happy when you make your maiden cruise, have everything set up and are able sit back and admire how good life is.

    Enjoy!
  • Grayland SP is a great shake down destination! Nice hardware store up the road a few miles. Enjoy it.
  • Congrats on the new 5er!! and yes Grayland St park is Awesome park for sure for a first trip but I was there a few weeks ago and it was flooded pretty bad and more than likely worse now with the bad rains here on the Coast in the last few days BUT there is a few spots left that are O.K. I would call first before reserving online to find the NON flooded one's

  • Congratulations! That is a very classy looking rig. I just bought a new 5th wheel also, but nothing quite like your Durango. Enjoy!
  • Congratulations! However, if you don't wash your roof and wax you FW, it will show. Salesperson lied to you.
