On those models it looks like when the awnings are out they look like they run up hill. And is 38 grey water tank all there is for grey or is there a galley tank too?

The awnings do not run uphill when fully extended and have adjustment screw to hold either side lower for rain run-off. To my knowledge it just has just the one grey tank which is plenty for the two of us with the way we camp.

38 Gal Gray that is it! The 8' and 14' Awnings are adjustable Up/Down! Do a lot of research (BEFORE) it is (BEST) to go INSIDE a unit you are thinking about with the (SLIDES IN & OUT) that will answer LOTS of Qs!  Youroo!!

FWIW, I have a 3008W and the doors rub when the awning arms are lowered all the way. They can be lowered a little without rubbing. The awning is self dumping when deployed in the rain if you don't lock the arms. See this video on YouTube.

Mine has a separate galley tank, because the kitchen is so far from the bathroom I guess, so it does have 76 gallons of gray water capacity.

Ok thanks I will watch the video. I'm very cautious when it comes to a $36,000 camper. I own a 2008 sandpiper fifth wheel now so it's going to big a huge difference for me. I just want to get rid of the epa diesel truck.

With the slides in, you can not access any of the kitchen functions when travelling (if it's important to you)

We have the Flagstaff 27VRL or Rockwood 2715VS so far so good. But like Fonzie said, you can't access much of the inside with the slides in if that is a concern. Really roomy, no appliances on a slide, bath in front

Could not find any mention of a 5 point WDH on the Equalizer website. Was this a typo? Did you mean 4 point?

I use a Centerline WDH and the arms are part of sway control.

In response to ROCKFORDROO, I meant to say 4 pt Equalizer hitch, not 5 pt, sorry about that. You will not need ANY sway bars with this WDH SYSTEM. This hitch is easy to use and I like it a lot better than my old WDH and sway bars.
