Hello from Grand Rapids.
Just made our P.A. on a 2017 Rockwood 8299BS.
Excited for season to get underway to enjoy new adventures.
This will be our first 5th wheel, towing with 2016 RAM 2500 6.4L Hemi.

Stepping up from a 2006 26' TT.

We looked at the one as well. Local dealer has the Rockwood line. I'm debating taking down the wine rack and those two side legs to free up useable space on the hutch counter. Anyone else done that?
Also working on replacing the side blinds from the blocks to curtains so that it's not up against your head at the dining table. Match the bedroom decor.

Wyoming/Grandville.
Got from Terry Town. They have another one without second AC and second living Max Air, in the darker color interior. 2nd unit we have gotten from them.
I'm sure more on the way for the season. We opted for both 2nd AC and 2nd Max air plus the fold down rear bike/cargo thing.

Is that a flat table or a stove/sink combo there by the slideout?
I really wanted an outdoor kitchen. But all the couples coaches in the under $10k with them we didnt like the bedrooms. Cant stand up in most of them. In the B/S style, man its like being in a Z frame 5'ver without needing a 1 ton dually diesel to pull it.
Anyhew I have to come up with an alternative. I always have a side mount and a Coleman Road trip grill going. Need to come up with a better outdoor kitchen setup without going over GVWR.

Wait, am I reading that right? Your towing that with a 1/2 ton Nissan?
Heck I am crunching numbers on the 2500 RAM making sure I dont go over my GCWR. If all tanks are full, the trailer is within 100lbs of its GVWR. So guess I wont be towing with ahem, crap in the tanks. Pardon the pun.
