2015 GT 328TS Console

I am just curious. Do all Georgetowns come with a console on the engine cover? Mine did not (bought it used). I am referring to a center piece that would have cup holders and a place to put loose items like change. We have these in our cars!

Attached is a picture of what mine looks like.

I bought my 2015 328TS new. It did not come with any kind of console. It does have cup holders on the driver and passenger windows.

2015 GT 328TS Console

I have a 2015 GT 329DS it's not an XL, but I think it has the console you are speaking of. It was mfg 9/11/2014 could have been a mid-year change?[ATTACH]130994

I have a 2015 Georgetown 328ts and I was told by Kevin Stratton that during the 2015 years they made changes to the dash and there was not an attached cup holder for the doghouse for our model.
I have looked at a lot of manufacturers and seen free standing styles that did not need to attach to the dash.
I have checked online and can't find where to get one.
I also looked at a 329 that had one at the same time I bought mine and it did have a cup holder. I again asked if I could get one off a 329 and they told me it was a different dash.
If you find anything on this. PLEASE update. The cup holders on the side wall won't hold an empty cup! Nothing stays in those pieces of junk.

Same situation on my 2015 Georgetown 351DS, no console as well. Would settle for one like RJJ has. Looked all over for something, free standing or otherwise. This came as big disappointment that there was no console available. would like to find something for same reasons. Not room on dash to hold extra cups or change of whatever.

Yes - I believe the change was between the "early" 2015 and the later models - we have an early (May 2014 delivery) 2015 351DS and did not get the cupholder on the doghouse....however, I remember several people (in late 2014/early 2015) who were able to order the parts and install them in their MH. (we decided against it, because I like not having anything there)
I'll see if I can find the thread/discussion of how they did it.

We have a 2014 GT 328 TSF. We'd love to add this console. Has anyone tried it. It looks like it attaches to the lower dash below the radio. If anyone has let us know.

Thanks

Nice set up. I'd like to get the one Forest River is using. If I can't then I'll **** gears

We were able to purchase the tray (from Forest River) that sits on the engine cover.

That looks a little different where it meets the dash. Did you just tuck the tray under the lower dash. Regardless, it looks great and functional.

May I ask what it cost and who can we reach out too (number) so that we can order it?

Thanks for sharing.

The Tray fits under the dash and surprisingly doesn't move. It was purchased from Forest River Parts and Service 574-296-7700. The description is "Drink Tray-Ford 2010" P/N ABS3456-389 (Item Number 10F06294A). The cost including tax and shipping was $149.56. Hope this helps.

Hi, we have a 2014 328 did not come with console. My husband made one from wood and stained to match cabients. Has place for 4 cupholders and it and has shelf for storage. Looks really nice and works great. It is mounted on engine cover. We also put in a fireplace under the TV. If you need pics let me know.

my wife found a similar console at a local auto parts store for around $20 it is a rubbermaid brand. our 2007 doghouse has a slant to it, so i mounted it to a plywood base with tapered sides to make it level. it is not attached, and in two seasons it does not move when traveling, and we travel the roughest Alaskan roads.

The Parts department at RV World of Lakeland was able to find the correct drink tray for my 2015 328ts and send it to me.

Now my question is for those who have one is, how is it mounted?
Where does it screw on and to what?

Any help is great!

The drink tray console attaches to the top of the doghouse with just two screws in the centre of the actual cup holders. Just drill a hole in the centre of the cup bottom, and a screw of appropriate length.

Two minute DIY job.
