Just brought it home!
I finally picked up our new Cruise Lite 273QBXL today. Five hours from Nashville to Cincinnati and then a long, I don't want to talk about, seven hour drive home... (Rush hour and a bit of nerves driving the new unit)
I help setup my WDH at the dealer and they even replaced some fuses on my TV that had been blown for the pigtail connection. Great experience picking up the trailer. Of course it rained while we were trying to do the PDI. But I did get to see there weren't any leaks.
I will post up some pictures tomorrow. Been and exhausting day!

Congrats! You are going to love it. Looks very similar to ours. What is your tow vehicle?

It's a new to me 2000 Ford F-250 with the V10 in it. I got about 10 mpg on the way back pulling the trailer. A little better than what I thought! Haha.
Thank you guys for the replies. I spent the afternoon loading some things in and demonstrating to the wife how things work. With two young ones, the bunkhouse is going to be great.
Still need to get a picture posted up!

Yes it is but my local RV dealers couldn't touch the pricing. 370 miles and I saved $4200.00 over my in town dealer and $3000.00 over the surrounding area!

The pricing on these things is insane. I went looking for a used camper and ended up buying a new one because it was so cheap.

Jas, enjoyed the visit the other day. That looked like a great layout for you and the family.
Picked up the 241QBXL today...same layout as the one we had but had the couch and larger RB. DW really likes it. STAYCATION in the drive way tonight to check everything out after getting packed lol. See ya at the Lake

Well, we drove 2000 miles one way, to get our new HTT.
Prices out West are way more than in the Midwest. You often have to pay close to MSRP out here.
We saved $5000 on a $22k MSRP trailer, even after trip costs.

I can't wait to get out in my CruiseLite. I did do a trip at the end of March, early April and am eager to relax and camp again.

Yes, we have two weeks until our maiden voyage... Memorial Day was completely booked here in middle TN. Looks like driveway camping for the holiday!
Max, looking forward to the lake. Your trailer looks great!

Driveway is a good idea when you first get one, helps to see what you need and don't need. Also a good time to work out the kinks and be close to what you need to get it fixed.
Week after next we'll be
