Could not agree with you more. I love showing it to those interested or have questions. Most are surprised by all the usable space inside.

We are the only V-nose in Arrow Rock State Park as well. Lot's of pop ups out this weekend. Temps in the mid 90's so we appreciate having the a/c!

Haven't made it all the way around Indian Cove in Sandbridge, VA yet, but so far we are the only pointy nose in a park that has 200+ sites and is full this weekend! DW gave another tour of our unit to the next door neighbor yesterday.

Out driving around a bit in central Missouri and saw a Windjammer headed north out of Columbia on US 63. We're back home from the weekend trip and that is the only one we saw; except for the one that followed me home.

Two more in Michigan...

Just our Windjammer and one other were spotted at Van Buren State Park in South Haven, Michigan this weekend. It was the maiden voyage for ours, and we had a great time learning the ins and outs of camping in a TT. It was sure different from our past experience with popup! We are now looking forward to our next trip, when I feel like we will be better able to just "enjoy" the Windjammer. The other Windjammer was a 2012 model 2609W owned by a couple from Edwardsburg, Michigan.

Happy Memorial Day to all!! Just got back from a weekend in Banning State Park (northern MN), and there was a v lite in the campground! Not a Windjammer, but pretty close!!! They had a 30ft with the kitchen in the V.

I'm at Lake Shore Resort in Davison, MI and there are two other v-noses here. A v-cross and a viewfinder by cross roads. I'm starting to see more out there.

We've been in North Myrtle Beach all week. Once again, we are the only V-nose at the campground (Briarcliffe RV Resort). A lady just rode up on her bicycle and asked about the V-nose. Said it was the neatest thing she'd ever seen. Said that her and her husband were looking to downgrade from their current MH and were looking at getting a TT. DW gave her the tour of the inside, and when the lady walked back out, she stated that this trailer would be perfect for her and her husband. It's just amazing how much attention these V-noses get! We've still only seen two V-noses at a campground we've been at since we purchased ours last year, one WJ and one V-Cross. And it doesn't get old, showing ours to whoever asks...

I've been at Hammonasset Beach State Park in CT since May 25 and the only V-nose here has been mine. Let's see if any show up this weekend or next. I'm here till June 24.

Saw a Windjammer today as we were heading home from Myrtle Beach somewhere in NC. We were headed north on I95, and they were headed south. TV was some kind of maroon truck, but didn't catch the make.

That's just on the other side of town. We're definitely going to have to give this one a try. (and put another windjammer there for a few evenings.)

Joe, we are pulling out this morning and headed to Colorado Springs area for five nights.

Sorry, we missed you. We have had a great time here at RMNP again.

Okay so I'm a little jealous here. Love the springs and RMNP. I've hiked pikes peak twice. Amazing views. Enjoy your trip! Wish I was there with you.

V nose?

New member here but I'm new to RV's too. Saw both a windjammer and a v lite today but they're on dealer lots. Trying to decide which one to buy.
I figure it will have to be one of them as that's what my horse trailer is.

Installed my hitch last night and we will be heading out on Friday! One dumb question I missed on the PDI...where is the cartridge water filter located?

I have the 3008W and mine is located behind the bottom right panel of the entertainment center. Look for a door panel that is not truly hinged. You have to remove the screws from one side to get it to open. My trailer has two such panels--one where the water pump and cartridge are located and the other is where the water heater is.
