X2 - They are really great, made by ProTrim and can be had on Amazon.

Beautiful looking unit!! Yes I have the Jensen GPS. I believe the truck setting is to help with routing so you don't go to places like low clearance, etc.
By the way, can you look at your Bigfoot panel on the wall by your entry door and see if it is silver and says Platinum on it or is it black?

I don't want to go off topic but when was forest river putting in these platinum manual big foots. I pick up my unit in a week and now I'm worried. I never saw them in any units I looked at.
P.s. I love that floor plan.

Could one of you with a 3011 post a pic with the slide in ? Trying to picture how much room there is to move around inside while driving.

The Bigfoot panel is black. We brought the unit home yesterday and tried out the self leveler. Love it so far. I haven't seen anything about a Platinum version. What is the difference?

Thanks! We love it so far (it's still in our driveway!
With the slide in, it's really not too bad! There's still a fair amount of room!

The platinum, which was installed in builds in June of last year for sure, only levels front to back automatically. The side to side level has to be performed manually using a level.

One thing we noticed is when the bedroom slide is in, you cannot open any of the closet doors or drawers( except the storage area behind the tv). That might be an inconvenience to some.

Thank you for the inside picture. Appears to be enough room to move around, open refriderator, ect.
Recent thread was started comparing the Big Foot leveling system, and the Big foot platinum stabilizing system. From the most recent threads it "appears" you are better off without the platinum series.
Best of luck and happy camping!

GL1800Rider, Is there a separate light switch that controls the 2 LED lights above the over cab bunk? It seems every other light has its own switch.

Since the light switch question came up, have you figured out how to turn on the lights in the big rear compartment yet? If not, just push in on the center of the lens.
Here is another idea for a mod I am going to do so I can see where the switches are when I open the door in the dark at home. I got this idea from another member on the forum:

They did point that out for me at walk through. I do like the motion activated light idea. I'm keeping Amazon in business tricking this thing out!

sgtlm17 did you pick yours up yet? If so, how do you like it? Which Bigfoot leveling system did you get?

Was supposed to go this week but pushed off my pick up till next week on the 10th. We had so much snow I've been clearing it so I have a place to park it here at home. I have a post over in the dealer review section which will highlight my dealer and pdi experience.
