Question Should I sign for the 2012 Catalina 271BH

Anyone have the Cat. 271BH? I have a great low interest loan approved for one, just have to sign this week. Wanting to get my little family out in nature without roughing it too much.

Wife won't sleep in a tent and I hate to leave her behind when my little ones and I want to go (two girls ages 2 & 5) camping. Thinking this will solve the dilemma.

Sounds like a good enough reason to buy to me

Lol, I had the same problem with the wife. You are lucky to start with this though. My first was a popup. Then of course now grown into what I have now and love it. I am always looking forward to the next camping trip. The family memories are priceless!!!

Congratulations on your new RV. I can't wait to hear about how much your family is having with it.


Take care.

Congrats on the new TT! We too just pulled the trigger on a 292BHDS Liberty Edition that is being delivered this Saturday! We also came from camping in a tent but haven't used it since my son was born 6 years ago! We refused to camp in a tent with a kid! Now we have 3! At least we don't have to camp in the "out-laws" RV now! lol

Congrats on the new Coachmen!!! We have been happy with our 28DDS in the short time we have owned. I am happy with the build quality and somethings seem a bit more high quality compared to some of the other starter campers. Countertops, cabinents and furnishings are in my opinion better than some of the other offerings at similar prices. We looked at them all.....keystone, gulfstream and others and we just came back to coachmen everytime.
