I wonder sometimes how much commission we should have made off V-Lite sales. Every time we took "Francis" (30WIKSS 2014) out, we ended up allowing other campers to do a tour of her.
Ours had the bathroom in the V. People were blown away by the size of it....double sinks, double vanities, double mirrored medicine cabinets, etc.
She was a beauty! I miss her, and got teary eyed when we traded her in, but we LOVE our new 5er even more! One thing is certain, some lucky family got an awesome, barely used and even improved (BR TV wall mounted) V-Lite! I thought of hiding a note in the back of a kitchen drawer; We loved and enjoyed this TT, her name is Francis. Treat her good and enjoy her as much as we did!
Counting down the hours 'til next weekend! We're headed out again for a 4 day trip.

Found the layout we wanted, single slide,table and chairs and the price we were comfortable with. Been one year now and I'm glad we bought the Flagstaff. Dealer has been good too, looked after any concerns I had.

X eleventy on the table and chairs
When we started shopping for an RV I told DH flat out: NO banquettes!
We saw several RVs that we liked, except for the banquette.... got to a point where I'd walk in, spot the banquette and walk back out.
Since it's just DH and I, we've even taken two of the chairs out, bagged them up and stored them in DH's hobby shop.
Another MUST for us was being able to view the TV without having to turn our heads 90*. Some floor plans just make no sense to us. I've seen some where you have to sit at a banquette and watch with your head turned. Nyet, not for us. I want my creature comforts; sit in my recliner and watch and/or nap. :-)
No, we don't go camping to watch TV, but on rainy days?? (SMH)

I really like the part about leaving a note! They really become a part of the family and is painful to let them go... But a new one is ready to be filled with new and exciting memories also! I think next time we'll leave a secret note too

I looked at a lot of campers and went to a lot of shows. The workmanship on the 21fbrs was the same as the mini winne if not better. The price was better and the weight was less.

I had a Keystone tt that didn't have good storage, no bunkhouse and no outside kitchen. We only had 6 months and we were out looking, not really thinking anyone would give us what we needed on a trade. We were wrong so dealer first, floor plan and options. We looked at a lot of different brands and fell in love with the 8528TWBS Floorplan. I think we traveled to 10 different dealers looking but came back to this one. They didn't have one with what we wanted so we ordered. First trip out was this weekend. Love it

This dealer we used only had one 2014 left on the lot that he wanted to show us. It was a Flagstaff 31RLBSS and was in the Diamond Series. This was one trailer that the wife and I shared the most likes over...so we brought her home. Such an upgrade from our old Aerolite.

Any difference in weight between Flagstaff & Rockwood?

As far as I know it is just the stickers. But I may be wrong on that.

I suppose technically one set of stickers might weigh more than another set, but you're more likely to notice the variations in weight inherent to the build process more so than the oz or toe difference in stickers.

takin' er back out on the 25th to yet another new-to-us local park. We're blessed to have SO many great state parks less than 2 hours from us.
Easy weekends just to "escape from ordinary life".

We saw a Platinum Edition IKWS at our dealer's last summer after we got back from Tennessee and it is a good thing it was at the price it was or we would have one of them now to. DW and I fell in love as soon as we walked in. Maybe some day.

Well when they roll out if the same factory I would say the decals would be about the only difference.
