Thank you...we sure do like it. When we can't be out camping or on the road we park it under our carport...winter storage is in the shed behind the truck...

We bought this last year. 2018 37 RLWS. Brand new. got hailed out and the dealer fixed everything and sold it to us for $30k under sticker ($68k). What a deal! We totally love it. Especially the residential fridge. OMG!

So far, tows great. Factory Ford hitch. I may need to move it up 1 notch. Camper looks a little low in the front. Towing does real good 0-50. 50-70 takes some getting use to. I need to work that correct RPM range to maximize the power band. Way different than my old diesel. But, so far, I like it. Really going to be nice when it time for servicing vs. that diesel....

There is a learning curve going from diesel to gas mainly the higher rpms getting use to seeing and stepping on the gas building the rpms up before a mountain climb. My '08' v10 with 4.30s did fine running around the western states pulling 14k but it drank gas like a sailor in port after a long time at sea.
