We bought this 4 years ago and have enjoyed taking it around the East Coast to the beach, West Virginia, Virginia, Pennsylvania and Ohio. We’ve made some upgrades since then. Everything works. Air Conditioning is COLD – which is helpful camping at the beach in August!

• Outdoor Shower – Installed in Slide-out – perfect for cleaning off after the beach or a hike.


• Door Window – installed with internal screen—you get privacy if wanted—but can still see who’s knocking!


• Cut-outs in the Door Side under seat storage bin that allows the dinner table to slide out of the way.


• Reese anti-sway bar added—it pulls so nicely and it’s so light that we felt a WD hitch was a little overkill pulling with our Honda Ridgeline.


• Shower sink delete: Now there’s just that little extra room in the shower/toilet—my husband is a bigger guy and this makes all the difference.


• Added storage for bread/cereal and the like above the dining area.


• Lift Support struts added to lower bunk storage space. Makes getting to items under the lower bunk easy—our kid’s stuff doesn’t have to be moved off the bed to access items.


• Current tires have about 1500 miles on them—basically new! Also bearings currently greased.


• Roof sealant and caulk (windows/doors) in Fall of summer 2020.

Previous Owners setup:

• 3” axle Risers installed – so you have similar clearance as the Hood River R-Pods


• Two Battery Box setup – set up for two 12V batteries in parallel.


• LED lighting: Interior and Exterior lights were all changed to LED lights. Not are things bright—but the battery drain is negligible if you forget and leave one on.


• Upgraded Queen sized memory foam folding mattress – We really do sleep well on this and it folds out of the way nicely.


• Pa Que R-dome ScreenTent – quick and easy to set up perfect place to get out of the sun, store our coolers and great place to relax outside with friends.
