Not to hijack the OP's topic, but the V-series is on my short list to purchase this spring. I posted on another thread that I'm looking for a toy hauler to haul fishing kayaks and bikes (no quads or anything heavy). I'm hoping to see a V3005 or maybe a V3305 this weekend...
One thing I'm concerned about is access throughout the unit with slides closed. We live on a corner lot in a sub, and much like the picture posted above, we'll need to load/unload in the street as our driveway isn't long enough to back into. Is there any access to the refer/storage with the kitchen slide closed in the 3105/3305, or does the slide need to be opened?
Any real world weights on the 3105/3305? My TV is a 2011 F350 crew cab diesel FX4, payload per sticker is 3500lbs. I really don't see us needing the generator, which would save us on pin weight and $$.
Any other input would be greatly appreciated. Like I said, hoping to see one in person this weekend but I like to hear 'real world' opinions as well.
Cheers!
We actually have a long enough driveway to back the Voltage in and open all the slides. When the slides are closed, you have no access to the fridge and very limited access to the galley cabinets. We just returned home today with the trailer and already have it opened up in the driveway to clean it out before it goes to it's enclosed storage. I'll try to take a few photos of the interior with all the slides in to give you a better idea how it looks.
I meant to weigh the unit last week when it was loaded for our trip, but ran short on time. Our F250 (diesel) averaged 7.9 MPG towing the unit loaded with about 50 gallons of fresh water on board. Coming home this morning with all the holding tanks empty, it averaged 8.4 MPG.
