?xlr 27

I have been considering the xlr 27 as the layout really fits my needs. The only concern i have is the shower over a wheel well. Are there any owners that have issues with it?

Thanks in advance for any feedback.

Not sure what your concerns might be with the shower over the wheel wells. You will have to step up into the shower. I'm 6'4" and over 250lbs. I use the shower with no problems.

Ours works fine. Yeah the step up to it is odd, but the higher ceiling allows plenty of head room.

Thanks everyone. I appreciate he feedback. Any other issues or things I need to be aware of? I am a bird hunter who competes my dogs in field trials. I plan on outfitting the garage with 8 - 30"x20" kennels and installing a drop down table over the top of them. I will also be carrying a Honda Recon too.

Thanks again

No issues here. Make sure your tow vehicle can handle it.

?xlr 27

If there is a DW. I'd add the 29HFS to your search. The only real complaint we still have with our 27 is the sideways front bed. It is a pain to crawl in and out of, over someone. I'm the one who gets up first and am getting 2 dogs up, broke and running in the mornings. Mine gets used 60 to 90 nights a year. So that's a lot of crawling too.

Good looking dogs. My family used to breed and show Boxers. When I go to field trials I travel with 4 -8 Bird dogs. (Brittanys )

Brittany's are awesome dogs. Can't imagine 8 at a time on the road. 4-5 is my limit. I enjoy watching a dog work. It doesn't matter what task it is. The joy of work. My Boxer taught himself scent detection because he saw the other dogs get a ball for a reward. He's also caught a few robins in mid flight.
