Trail Blazer 26TH
Waiting on delivery of my Catalina toy hauler. Wondering if any one here has one and what are your thoughts.
I know this is not the biggest or fanciest on the road, but for the wife and I it should be fine.
Would appreciate any knowledge any one has about this.
Thanks in advan've for all comments.

How long did it tske to get your unit? Mine is sitting at the Coachman yard waiting for a driver to deliver it
According to my sales person, I should get it in about 2 or 3 more weeks.

I ordered mine the end of Feb. Did not want one that had been to 4 or 5 different shows and who knows how many people going through it.
I am thinking that mine will be a 2018, but really don't know

Small dealership, very good reviews, I am happy with that. Much better experience just looking than a Lazy Days or Camping World.

I used Colerain near Cincinnati. I read good things about them
Theu are about an hour's driver from Lexington,so just like buying local. They have a store here in town, but they did not carry the Trail Blazer here
Still good for warranty work if needed.

I read good things about them and almost took a drive up there. No dealership in my immediate area carries the brand. Tampa is 1:30 from me.

UPDATE
Will be picking up my Catalina this Tuesday from the dealer. The plan is to take a day or maybe two to make the 1 1/2 hour trip back to Lexington.
Can't wait to enjoy my new toy hauler.

Trying to find the fuse box on my 26TH. Can't find it in the documentation and my feeble eyes don't see it. Can anyone point me in correct direction?

Look on the floor under the fridge kick panel. If I remember correctly, there should be a black panel with the fuses behind it.

I know exactly how you feel. We had our walk thru Tuesday, but I feel asif I never saw anything in the rig.
Hopefully, we will both get the hang of this and have all kinds of fun and enjoyment with it.

26TH
We have a 26TH and like it a lot. Love the patio and it being loaded with just about everything. Bought an outside tv and put on that bracket they provide.
Pros: Tows light. Blue lights are awesome. Bathroom and bedroom are big comparatively. Very roomy inside with the couches up or just one down (and especially with the patio. Thus the length with no toys in it makes up for no slide out. Outside shower is great in 95 degree Georgia heat, first camping trip.
Bought a used Honda EU6500IS inverter gen since my friend's two Honda 2000 inverters paralleled seemed barely enough when the AC ran constantly. Two 2000's don't equal 4000, more like 3400 or less.
Cons: I thought I might be able to get my golf cart and atv inside, but I can't (unless I took the chairs out, maybe but still very doubtful). No power leveling jacks but a drill with a 3/4 socket is fast. A little low to the ground, but I'm okay with that because my golf cart bottom still hits the top of the ramp.

Taking ours out again this weekend. Haven't had a lot of opportunities this summer down here in Florida due to work and such.
