yes, we traded the Spree. They took good care of us on the trade.

I have heard a lot of things about the radio reception being poor in the basement area. It doesnt really surprise me, with where it is located. I plan on changing mine to my own radio and putting in an antenna booster. If anyone has done anything like this, let me know.

Radio update
Columbus recently switched to a car/boat style dash radio w/ cd in the basement and now runs the Ant. Up onto the roof .

Chris,

Would it be possible to have our 2013 320RS purchased in June fitted with the new radio setup? The basement radio is the only thing on this great unit that is lacking.

Thanks

I purchase 2013 320rs in June and would like to know that answer as well.
Thanks

The stereo that we now use can be purchased thru your dealer. When we upgraded to this we also went up in price. It cost more and is part of the current price structure
Thanks

Thanks Chris. I will talk to my dealer next time I am in for service to see what kind of price they have for the radio and it's installation.

Sporoo, The 320RS that's at Salem RV has the new marine radio. We didn't try it out when we connected the battery pack and I don't remember seeing an external ant.

I think you will be real happy with Salem and the service department -- Great Dealer.

Shangra-la campground and RB Winter State Park out real close to Selinsgrove.

Can't find it, but I did find a pic of one at:

Columbus 365RL fifth wheel by Palomino

It's really nice. I think I may delete the bike rack and add on the fibreglass cap. I wonder if it makes it less likely to get water damage, which we supposedly had at the back of our Wildcat? If that is the case, it would be doubly good to have.

Yes thats the back cap wonder way they blocked the name Columbus out on the pics at that web site? They put different tail lights on the cap.

@Chris Columbus: Is that the rear fibreglass cap that I put a link from an RV dealers site in my post above? Is that the one you get when you order it? Are the lights different?
