Congrats!! Our dealer called us yesterday and said ours should be here next week; unless it falls into that Bermuda Triangle for delivery. We weren't expecting it until the first of June. We won't be able to get it packed and ready before the big weekend, but it sure will be fun just to have it here so that we can load it and get it ready. I can relate to everything just sitting around in the wrong places. We sold our other trailer about a month ago. Let us know if you got the new kitchen set-up with the pantry turned towards the kitchen and the pull out pantry. Can't wait for pictures

WOW is this thing big. Had a bit of a problem backing it in the driveway. My husband did not like how I was directing him. He suggested that I give it a try....and I was able to park it perfectly!!! Hopefully we'll get better with practice.

Our model is the 2014. It has the pantry facing the sink and the skinny pantry next to the fridge. They changed the bunk room door to open into the bunk room. Posted some pictures.

Will probably sleep in it Friday night. Kids like to have camp outs even if it is in the driveway.

So far it hasn't been an issue for us but I am going to flip it at some point. Unfortunately it is going to take pulling the trim and maybe the jambs to do.

Thanks ctyankee for the pics. Makes us want ours here even faster. Living out here in the desert your front yard looks like a campground to us.

Very nice...I like the 'improvements' compared to the '13's.

Last Sept. ( after going down to the Hershey Rv Show), we contacted our closest Sabre dealer which turned out to be Custom Camper, and they didn't seem to want to do anything for us. We got the "we can get them, we don't stock them" song and dance. I gave Campers Inn a call up in NH, and they had three on the lot when we went up there. By the time we went for our inspection/pickup, the other two rigs were sold as well, only about two weeks later. Anyway, good luck and happy campin'!!

I'm definitely jealous of the new kitchen setup. Very nice!

Congrats! I do like the new pantry set up. I'm not sure where the space came from. It is quite large...the height makes me nervous to where I look at traffice lights, electric lines etc..and think.."can I make it under that?"

The bunkhouse door has not been an issue with us as we opted for the superlounge vs. the dinnette.

I hope you enjoy many good RV'ing experiences!!

I have a feeling the bathroom might be smaller. I say this because the outside door for the 1/2 bath has been moved back a couple inches towards the rear of the RV. So much that there is not enough space to add a lend-a-hand between the door frame and the awning without modification (still working on that but it is low on the priority list unless someone has figured it out already.)

That's funny. Mine came with it from the factory. Here I was all jealous of your new kitchen. :-)

We are considering getting the chocks that go between the wheels. We were told it would help with rocking. Is that true and what size should we get?

My X chocks fit my 2013. On the door side I have to turn it upside down..still works and does cut down on the bounce factor. Do you use anything in addition to JT strong arms and rear stabilizers?
