Pros: Power, Value, All the necessities at a nice price

Pros: strong engine, easy to drive, loads of storage

We bought our RV for a month long trip to Canada this year. Our family of 6 needed space that our travel trailer did not have. We chose this model because it had bunk beds and an extra table in the rear. It sleeps 9 if there are a lot of kids, 7 if there are mostly adults.

We loved it! The only problem we had was getting the family actually out of it...

The engine was strong, the AC was wonderful. It handles almost as well as my old GMC Van Conversion.

I did a lot of the driving, and my kids could read, watch a movie or pay games while we drove. I found it easy to do all the "work", hooking up, emptying everything etc.

We bought it from a rental company, and took it in for an overhaul before we took it out. It had a serious AC problem, but in the end we felt the company we bought from could not have known. We were glad to have it on the trip; it was far superior to our travel trailer since we could all ride together, hang out and still have elbow room.
