Posts on XLR forum

Just moved to the XLR forum from the Wildcat forum and have noticed that there is not a lot of post here. Is it because there are not a lot of xlr's or everyone is to busy using them?

Nice and large units. Don't know if theirs a lot of them out there? Post a new thread and ask for pixs. That should help.

I know, I tried to today but could remember my password since I do it all in apps now. Will get it figured out soon. How does everyone carry their ladders(for bunks)? Am think of mount them in the garage along the back.

I just lay my ladder on the floor under the rolled up carpet. Seems to be outta the way enough not to be a problem and when we are loaded up, our garage is tight.

My ladder travels on the top bunk close to the back with the beds raised all the way

The other night while the power was out we got to spend some time in the new camper and figured out some mounts for the ladders, step stool and awing crank. Will get some pics as soon as I have some time to take them.

I just think there aren't as many out there. You can get a nicer unit for the same price if you don't need a toy hauler, but even with limited use on ours I love the extra space. I think it would be hard to go back now...

Scooter I agree. There is just so many ways to use one besides hauling golf carts. We plan on ours being a kayak and bicycle hauler and then a bedroom

We love our Hyperlite 5th wheel. Normally go racing at least once a month. Have had zero issues with the trailer.

there's just not that many xlr owners on the forum yet.

I think there was two at the goshen rally last year and a total of 4 at the rally this year.

Hopefully, as more of us become owners, this will become a more active forum.

As a new owner, I seriously don't know the answer to this question, so I'm not being a smart alec: how long has this model been made? When did the first XLR come off the line? That may also explain why there are so few of us...?

Taranwanderer and Turbs, I wondered the same thing. I noticed some kind warranty connection between All American Sport line and the XLR, is this where it started?

Found this online, so you know it has to be true :-) Forest River continues to evolve their "All American Sport" line into the impressive new XLR Toy Hauler.

XLR 24HFS owner here (just figured I'd chime in... haha). What do you guys do with your table tops when traveling. I made the mistake of not securing mine on the trip home from the dealer (pushed and pulled on it by hand quick and it didn't seem like it was going to move). Got home to find both table tops on the floor and a few small dents in the legs from where the tops must have come down on the legs... from the top bunk.. Luckily it doesn't seem like either top was damaged.
