Ordered 2015 340KP!

[dndnva]

We finally decided on our Legacy and ordered it yesterday. We decided to go with Ivory Beach instead of the new Merlot Ridge color. I couldn't bring myself to order a color I can't see in the flesh!
Does anyone else have an Ivory Beach Legacy and if so, has the color been easy enough to maintain? I was a little worried about the light colors, primarily along the bottom half, but love the neutrality and earthy look.
Can't wait to get the new rig...I don't like being "second homeless"!

Congratulations on your decision! Happy Camping.

Congrats! Hope your wait time goes quickly.

We take delivery of our new 340KP Friday, can't wait. I saw a number of posts on other threads poopooing the center door. That was a major selling point for us because of our parking situation at home, just works perfect.

Congrats on the new Legacy, we love ours!

Funny you mention the post about the center door. Each have there merits but if your not full timing and have to load and unload after every trip, the mid coach entry is a heck of a lot more convenient.


Good luck!

We have the same color interior. I guess we will all find out together, but we usually don't have any cleaning problems. Good luck with the new rig!

Capnrick3, so envious you get yours tomorrow! Congrats! Is yours a 2015 with the 340HP? Let's keep in touch to compare notes on PDI issues. I've made note of things encountered by our other Legacy friends on this forum. Hopefully Forest River has shaken out some of the issues discovered on the 2014s so our initial stuff won't be too bad. Have fun tomorrow!

I assumed we had the 340HP since that's what the brochure read, however the chassis info says 300 HP. However, the 50 mile drive home I pushed hard and have one 4% grade, does not seem slugish. Tomorrow and fully loaded test drive pulling our Jeep Wrangler, we will soon see. It is what it is though at this point.

Ours is the 300hp and we tow a wrangler rubicon unlimited which weighs 4600 and gave no power issues. On steep climbs it helps to manually downshift on the key if the Allison isn't doing it when you want it to.

5500 miles so far and averaging 10.3 mpg all towing, not to shabby!

We have a Berkshire 34qs with the 340. Just drove 2000 miles with a Jeep tow and have gotten 11 Mpg.

You are absolutely right. We just did a 70 mile fully loaded test run/tow, up a 6% grade and over a 4000 ft. summit. No problem. Very pleased. Our last rig was a 5th wheel pulled with a GM duramax, weight to power ratio at bit stronger than the motorhome but no complaints power wise. Anxious for a long trip.
