Chaparral 345BHS ?

Anybody have one of these yet? The 345 bhs? Just came across this Floorplan as my DW gave in to my constant begging to look at 5ers ! thinking of placing our tt on Craigslist and then search for a bit larger 5er, and this looks to fit the bill. Just looking for comments on this trailer offer the chaparral line in general.

I cannot comment on that particular model but I am happy with our Chaparral. We have had it 6 months now and have spent a dozen or so nights in it with no issues. I know that is only a short time, but I plan (hope) to continue the problem free camping with it.

Thanks! Our 28bh grey wolf has been problem free, more or less. That's why is hard to sell it. We've done 80 nights in 15 months and loved it. Just want something a bit larger now. Like many, I bought a heavier duty truck to replace my 1/2 t suburban and now since I have enough truck for more trailer, why not

I have the lighter 270bhs. The only problems I have had were the drain pipe coming off the sink. And kids leaving a door open an taking it off with the slide. Door was ok. The drain pipes were most likely over tightened to the sink and snapped off with trailer movement. I replaced both added two rubber couplers to absorb shock.
