Gtowne best selling gasser?

i keep seeing statements about Gtown being the best sell gasser if that is true why are there so few posts about them ,not only here but other forums as well I lurk on the tiffen forums and they all brag/complain about their rigs,where they've been and where they are going other brand the same thing. are we just happy with our units or complacent .
I will start the conversation i love my gtown no major complaints

Only had mine a couple of months so I had the usual "shake down" items that needed looked at. Otherwise, I'm a "happy camper" with our Georgetown. Perhaps the reason you don't see many posts from Georgetown owners is that they are too busy enjoying their RVs. Maybe.

Other than the electric step that hasn't worked from the beginning, it's been fab!

Just got home from an 1100 mile trip to the Smokies. Only 2900 miles on the rig and just a few of the "bugs" before the trip, NONE during the trip! The V10 performed flawlessly. Happy camper here. Georgetown was a great choice for us.

Also enjoyed the Gatlinburg area. The weather was perfect the last weeks.

Not sure what you're expecting but 19 pages of topics on Georgetowns isn't too shabby!! We've had ours since November 2006. We love the layout, have had some minor problems, some I fixed others by dealer and one major one. Blown rear, Ford's problem not FR. Would I buy another, only if they had a different layout that we'd like. It's still the best bang for the buck IMHO.

We have an 07 bath and a half, our bedroom has double slides, Ford chassis, we have been to the Grand Canyon, Florida, and many other states, tow a toad and often our show car in a wells cargo trailer and have had no problems ever. Now you can't get the wife to accept any other bedroom bathroom layout.

We have a 2011 GT 374. We have put on 15000+ miles in our 1st year and have enjoyed all the time in the GT. A couple of shake out problems during our 1st trip to FL but they were taken care of by LAZYDAYS in Tampa. Would we buy another GT ? YOU BET! We are heading back to FL in NOV. for the winter and looking forward to exploring more of FL in the GT.

8 MPG is about the average under good conditions like level roads. When I tow my car I still get around 7.25 to 7.5 but I'm only towing a Grand Am. Most of the Class "A" get around the same since most are built on the Ford Chassis. Congrats for the new Georgetown!!!

I have a 2011 Georgetown 360 RB, we love it. Sure the typical shakedown problems but, FR Georgetown stepped up to the plate and took care of everything fast.

We LOVE ours! Best bang for the buck hands down. Perfect - no. But we just about have all the kinks ironed out.

Our '03 325 is almost an antique, but we bought it used three years ago w/ only 14,000 miles...we now have almost 40,000 miles on it having crossed the continent twice from Atlantic Canada to Arizona thru almost 30 states (towing a Honda Accord!). It has been great and we love it! I've installed a 32" LCD TV and converted the kitchen "closet" to a pantry with roll-out shelves. Oddly, when I've compared our rig to some newer GTs, I've often thought that the quality has gone down...but maybe that's just "proud papa" syndrome? We're looking forward to another 40,000 miles, Lord willing...

Hey, PISCESMAN, how is that TV mod working out? I have the original in my 2005 and would love to eliminate the digital converter box.

We like our older g'town as well and have not experienced some of the issues some of the owners of newer units talk about. We did buy it used so maybe the original owner had the problems...

Bill

Hi Bill...
Glad to hear you're enjoying your GT! On the TV mod, I posted some pics back in Sept of 2010 showing the installation...it has worked great, but I did have some problems with broken solder connections on the LG. I was lucky to find a repair shop that charged me only $75 to fix it. I use a bungy cord to reduce the vibration when we're on the road, but I notice a lot of new rigs have two web straps to hold the LCDs, and I'm thinking about trying them. Try searching posts under the Georgetown forum...if you can't find it, let me know and I'll send you the info. Safe travels!!
