I have a 247RKES Eclipse Edition. We absolutely love it and there is only a few things I think I would ever consider changing on it.


Nothing major but their is no outdoor light by the door, the scare light is unfortunately blocked off by the entertainment slide. This could be fixed by attaching a cheap battery LED light above the door...


Besides that we have done a few long road trips (Calgary to Portland and then down to northern California) and then Calgary to Yellowstone. Plus all the camping trips in between (Probably 20).

Thanks for the reply. I have only seen them online but love the floorplan. My major concern was access with the slides in. Can you get to the fridge with all the slides in?

The entertainment slide is a little tight. I can squeeze by it and the bathroom wall ok, but we usually open it fully if we are packing/unpacking a lot of stuff. My wife usually loads the fridge just fine with the slide in. There is enough room between the fridge and the slide to open it about a foot.

It is not ideal (the slide situation), but the floor plan is awesome and with both slides open there is so much room. Plus it is a unique floor plan. I don't think it is as popular as it is more of a couples layout. But when we have kids, worse case they sleep on the couch and when that fails there is always the great outdoors .

We are currently looking at a 2016 right now and love the floor plan. We probably won't use the table and chairs at all If we purchase it. Yes we are just a acouple with now kids just a puppy.We would be going from a 14 Kodiak 200qb thats 24 foot with no slides to the 243rkes with 3 should allow for alot of room

Brox, I notice you are near Cincinnati. Mind me asking what dealer up there carries them? That's what I have been having trouble with is find a dealer.
