Had a rear WiFi camera added. Got to play with it. Nice to know what's going on behind me for sure.

Bobby, having a camera is great. I bought mine from Rear View and installed myself. They work great and having sound is good too. The only thing that would be nice is if I could automatically swing the thing up and down. The way the mount is made, it is aimed to low... so I modified it so I can aim higher. I am amazed how well it works in almost no light.

I agree! I have not seen so many XLR owners finally gather! I thought Fordes and I were the only two, so happy to see everyone out there!
We have the 2012 35x12 and I am so thrilled to see FR changed the XLR floor plans around. It just makes more sense! We can't have the awning over the garage door because of the loft window. Love the full awning affect along the entire rig!

We opted out on the garage awning but I realize now I should have added it.
I wonder how much it would be to add?

Are you talking about the awning over the garage ramp? Our unit didn't have the party ramp, so there is no awning over the garage door. I LOVE using the garage as a second living space. We did have an issue with the pull down screen popping up, so when we were in Goshen last year, the added more magnets and now it stays shut all the time! This year in Goshen, the service manager gave us carpet that is designed for the garage, for free! It is the same carpet that is in the bedroom. We had the black carpet that came with the unit, but this new carpet makes it look more like a room.

Oh ok. I was told u can add one if there is plenty of clearance. Our floor plan has the loft window on that side and between that and the light fixture on the outside, there isn't room. The newer floor plans moved that window to the other side. We also bought the 6 point level up, and now they are putting them on as standard. LOVE the Level Up system!

Awesome! We're looking forward to a great experience with our new toy hauler, finally able to upgrade, although there won't be a lot of Christmas presents this year!

I've learned over the years that people,family and children don't remember what you got them for Christmas...
But they can remember every detail of the vacations you took as a group or a family.
Priceless memories indeed
Welcome

Wow, this thread really took off today! Decided to take advantage of the nice weather this afternoon and run some wiring for the electric dump valve actuators...it's all coming together slowly! . But y'all have been working hard on this thread, too. Welcome to the new folks from NEPA, where the leaves are turning crazy colors...

Hey taran,
Shouldn't you post some pictures of the leafs for us to fawn over?
Please?
We don't get the change of seasons in Florida...
