Ordered a 8528BHWS

Placed a order for a Flagstaff 8528BHWS Platinum Pkg yesterday at the Hershey Show

The Factory Rep said 8 weeks and the Dealer said 4-6
Now I need to get a hitch
Looking forward to the new camper

Jason

We were thinking about that but right now everything is covered with snow and we are expecting another 4-8 tomorrow
I need to do something because my first trip might come sooner than thought
My son is playing Lacrosse in Myrtle Beach March 9th and we were thinking of going. Could be a Exciting first trip with the weather

July we might be going to Colorado for Lacrosse also

Your going to get a nice trailer, if it looks like the pic's posted. Hope you really enjoy it. Flagstaff's seem to be pretty nice. I might be brand proud but the Rockwood and Flagstaffs are pretty well built for the monies spent. Good luck and enjoy. ................

Nice looking RV. Took advantage of the weather this weekend for a little shake down. Found small issues. Window shade came off the wall and the shower leaks. Minor stuff. Have the reseal the shower around the bottom if the glass. Seems it was only partially done. Mechanic must have run out off sealer and forgot to go back to it.

FR uses great material in their RV products. I do wonder if Warren Buffet picks each item? He does own all of the FR line. When it comes down to how good or well built a trailer is....its the employees that count. They actually install each item (bath shower, A/C unit, heating, etc.). I have a 21FBRS and love it. Everything worked from day one without one issue.

We have a B&W hitch also only we got the Patriot 16K. We found an issue with the standard wedge that came with the Revolution hitch as it did not fit quite right and would have caused problems down the road. We had to order a wedge specifically designed for the B&W which fit perfectly and was only about $50. You may want to check if you are using the standard wedge if it is fitting nice & tight up in the neck with good contact down both sides and not just on a very small section.

Yup. The Flagstaff 27RLWS has the three drawers under the bed. Pain in the butt to use. Don't use them as a sock or underwear drawer or you think twice about changing them every day. Lol.
