Not to hi-jack the thread, but I too had a similiar thing happen to me. Bought the rig used off of Craigs List and the people lied straight up and down about everything and I made the mistake of not checking thins out, yep, MY FAULT.
Anyway, based on long distance phone conversations with the sellers, I was told it was 33' long. Bought it and hauled it a couple of hundred miles home. After a few days I decided to measure it and found it was 36' and some inches. Later got a manual for it and found it was really 36' 10" long on the outside.
We left on our two or three months vacation, and have hit one state park in Oregon, boy that was a mess and TIGHT but I got her in and out okay. After that we have been in four NP's and again it was tight.
So, when I get back to Oregon, I am going to try and find a (honest dealer) and trade her in for a little smaller one. What do you guys reccomend for a family of three for state, NP's and federal lands? I do like at least three slides. What is a good medium quality brand that is not an entry level?
Thanks.
