Like the New 312 BHX, but...

I just took a look at the updated 312BHX and I like some of the changes. Sink (bathroom too)/faucet/countertops, & ceiling fan look great. Love the Hazelnut color scheme...However, I don't like the missing hitch cover and lighting...Control panel, the missing open storage over the fridge and the missing cup holders in bedroom end tables. However, the improvements seem to outweigh the losses, so overall I like it.

I picked up my 2013 last May and I have used it extensively since then (including winter camping). I just took it to the dealership for some repairs...mostly minor and few major ones. Once I get it back, I feel obligated to write an extensive review of my Wildcat experience from purchase to present. The warranty repair process will complete the experience and then I will share with all.

We just picked up a 312BHX about 3 weeks ago. It's the updated 2013 312BHX-OK, we didn't really care about the hitch cover - just make it harder for me to mount a level on the pin box because I'd end up removing the hitch cover for that. The cup holders on the end tables would have been nice, but we also really wanted the cabinet door over the fridge vice the open hole like what our older wildcat had.

We can't wait to use it "officially" instead of just on the trip home from picking it up.

Chris - pass on to engineering that one thing that would serve really well in the master bedrooms would be the USB electrical outlets on both sides of the bed (his and hers). The outlet should be 12v and 110V capable. I say this, because most people use their phone as an alarm clock and most phones/electronic devices use the USB to electrical interface. BTW - the cup holders hold my phone at the perfect angle so I can see the clock in the early AM hours.

Interested what the major issues were, i have one that has had multiple water leaks and the floor now has a soft spot. it will need to go back to the manufacturer to be repaired. Hope your's were not that bad.
