Klbrown, I bought my last camper, Puma 30kfbds, without really looking around. Had I done my homework, I would've chosen differently. I stumbled on the 8327 from these forums and learned a ton from all the folks on them. We even went to every RV show in Michigan and looked at HUNDREDS of campers before knowing this was the one for us. On the bright side, you can check those options on your NEXT camper!

any of you guys that have this trailer or one similar figure out where to mount the fishing poles at? My old trailer they mounted in the main storage area underneath my bed but this trailer is a little smaller and they dont fit. Ive thought about the kids room is the only place i can think of. Any suggestions?

I have not mounted our poles yet but I do agree that would seem like the only place. Not much unused space in the 8327

Mounted ours in the kids room. Seemed like the only place easy enough to store them. Click image for larger version

Late to the party here. I used some beam clamps from electrical conduit screwed into the aluminum cross beams in the top of our pass through. Holds them and my US flag okay. Firedaniel, that looks awesome!

I would agree with Biigdaddy😄. It's been crazy cold here in Iowa as well.

Hi all. We are new to the forum. We are looking at a 2015 8327SS and are still confused on the difference between the Diamond package and the Platinum package. Can somebody give us the low down? This is the perfect layout for our family and want to make the right trim choice. We live in Texas and need good A/C units.

Looks like the only difference is the laminated champagne colour fiberglass

Hey ATX, the diamond package gives you the dark taupe exterior and a few other things. I'll check into the rest after dinner, unless one of the other "club" members get there first. I can attest to the effectiveness of the dual AC set up....We were in Myrtle Beach last summer and on the really hot humid days you could see the outline of our aluminum frame in condensation on the outside. When you walked in you got a shiver. That's what I'm taking about! Go for the 50amp dual AC options...you will not be disappointed! We camped 50 nights last year with 4 to 11 kids each time and it was a flawless rig! Go for it!
