BulletBob is the main man at XLR and he and John Miller monitor this Forum. You'll probably hear from them.

Also, Couch's RV in Hamilton Ohio near Cincinnati is worth the drive from anywhere. Talk to Brannon and tell him Marty sent you.

We LOVE our unit and FR in general.

If you can hook a cable up from your house to see if it works that way be sure to cut the booster off when doing this.
Also are you connecting your main TV to the connection that says Ant.

Thanks everyone, any other dealers that you'd recommend? We have a FR 2013 Grey Wolf 21RR now and are looking for a little more room sinice we spend 3 months in it in FL in the Winter. The XLR Hyper Lite 27 HFS would be just perfect! We LOVE Forest River and how they take care of their customers!

I can vouch for the tour, it is very interesting and well worth the trip. I was not happy with the dealer I purchased from in northern ohio, but I got a great deal. I saved enough to make it worth my while to drive there from north Florida. We towed the new camper back to the factory and it took a few minutes to find a place to park since there was all sizes of campers parked by the hundreds all over the place. We toured the plant and got to see some interesting processes.
I especially was taken by surprise when driving by the Walmart and it had a row of covered parking for the Amish buggies.
Safe travels......

Hello!
Just wondering what dealer you purchased from and were unhappy with??? We have several dealers we are considering going with... The Goshen area is wonderful! We have been at the FROG Rally for three years now and have taken several factory tours, just not the XLR tour. Looking forward to upgrading to an XLR 27HFS soon! If we have to order one to get what we want on it I hope it doesn't take forever...

We went and took the tour with Ryan and then went and ordered a new 27HFS! Can't wait to take delivery, hopefully in late October. In the meantime, anyone interested in a 2013 FR Grey Wolf 21RR in excellent shape with all the bells and whistles?

No thanks, been there, done that. However they are easy to sell... at least I had no trouble. Best of luck, D.
