Here we are at my father-in-law's 14 acres at Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri. He put in full hookups and even has Wifi!
He pulls the 34 foot and 8,500 pound Windjammer on the left with his 1/2 ton Sierra. Weight police would love him.
Here is another pic of the rigs and the awesome new Clam screen room we bought. One person can set it up in less than a minute. We tested it and sure enough, it's true.
Cool. Like your Rockwood which was the version I was going to buy until I found out 2 things - the Rockwood dealer foolishly did not stock them and (b)the Flagstaff dealer did. Never mind I drove out of state to get an Emerald for the same price they were asking for the standard.
Like the idea of the Clam Screen House but at $250 or more it is more than I am willing to pay.
Haha. We were the exact opposite. The Flagstaff dealer is 5 miles away but they didn't have that model in stock so we drove to the Rockwood dealer that is 30 miles away.
I also thought the Clam was a bit expensive, but we were recently rained out on a four day trip with no screen room. We decided we needed one, and scraped up the coin for it.
Okay anyone know what the program's codes are for the Genesis radio? Got the satellite hocked up today and we will be rocking the college games tomorrow. But I would really like to put away all but the satellite remote. So if any one can tell me that would be awesome.

We've been busy camping with the new TT. Had it to the dealer for a few minor things.....all were taken care of under warranty. A few things of note: we were able to get a bracket for the outside TV mount! Asked the dealer about it, and they had it sent to them from Forest River. It's identical to the inside bracket and we paid $65. I had searched all over the internet and found nothing. Husband is excited to give it a try with our smaller TV from home.
Also........I tried to post a pic before of our non-air mattress sofa but couldn't, so here you go. Son wanted to demonstrate by video. He has tried both the sofa and the dinette for sleeping, and prefers the dinette because it's longer
We are loving our trailer. One of the best features is the counter space!! Works awesome for breakfast buffets.
Taking it out one last time this weekend.
Also.....just curious, where/how do you store your shoes?? We haven't perfected that yet.
I would like to know what wind speeds the other people on the forum use to limit their travels with their trailer. We have limited our's to 25mph with gusts to 30 mph. We are headed to Santa Fe and are looking at winds of gusts to 35 kts. It's a little beyond our limits with our 1/2 tom Suburban. Just interested in others limits.

Just ordered my new 27rlws emerald edition, will be here in 3 to 5 weeks.
I plan to tow with a 2012 Ram 1500 crew cab.
I have been reading the posts and find them very helpful.

Congrats. Keep us posted. We are still hoping to order one for spring delivery. We decided this past summer that this is what we wanted. Got to some fall RV shows and could find nothing else that suited us any better.
Thank you, we looked at a lot of TTs and this floor plan really suits our needs, I had a 2013 21 FBRS, Liked it but was to small, so traded up to the 2015 27 RLWS. I have had Slide in campers, A van conversion on a 1 ton ford van, and of course tents. This is by far the largest TT we have ever had and are very excited about it. I am in the heart of camping paradise here. at least 25 parks within 125 miles and excellent fishing.
Yes you are in a great area. We went through there a number of years ago pulling a 31 foot trailer we used to have on our way to Colorado. We sold the trailer when the kids left home thinking we would fly or hotel it. Well last year we got back into the 2103 Salem Cruise lite 221. We did not realize how much we missed camping. But thought the 24 foot would be all we need for just the 2 of us. And its nice and cozy but sure miss the 31 footer with the luxury and space. Don't want to go any larger so we can stay with a 1/2 ton TV.
We bought our 27RLWS and towed it with a 2005 Dodge 1500 hemi 4x4. A few months later in traded the 1500 for a 2500. Pulls a lot better and no more worries about the mountains. The 1500 did pull it but was a strain on the higher steeper hills.

Just returned from a 750 mile round trip with a Rockwood 2703ws (same as a 27rlws). Part of this trip was on interstate. Semis coming up from behind a little hairy. I prefer the back roads, more scenery and driving at 55 I get 11 mpg. On the interstate they run you off the road at that speed.
I have found semis to be some of the best drivers on the road and the car drivers are the a**holes who give no thought to the fact that you are not able to slow, manoeuver or stop as they can.
Glad to hear that you had no incident, wherever this was that you travelled, and that you were able to get 11 at 55.
Towing from St Augustine Florida to St George Island on I-10 at 65 mph we got 10 mpg. From St George island to Weeki Wachi FL on us98 and us19 at 55mph we got 11. mpg. Maybe we caught a tail wind.
