A bit of a dilemma here. Currently we have a 1997 Alpenlite Augusta 31RL, at 32 feet oal. Yesterday, atca local RV show, we ended up signing papers and deposit for a 2016 Wildcat Maxx, model F262GRX. This was listed as a 26 foot, ir close to 27 foot rig. We are looking to downsize. Today, reading thru some spec data, we found that the Wildcat oal is 31' 3". Basically, the new "smaller" rig has the same oal as the 31 foot rig I now have. Am I gaining anything with the new trailer since we mainly like NF and state park camping. Open to any words of wisdom here. Thx
You need to read the specs closely on the new RVs. At one time the number usually meant the length of the RV. Now sometimes the numbers mean nothing other than a factory number, but it seems now often the number means the number of square ft of living space. So that F262 probably has 262 sq ft.
