Grey Wolf 29bh outside kitchen changes?

Sorry, I'm about to freak out!

Looking to purchase a 29bh. At the RV show the 2016's had a nice outside kitchen with large dorm fridge, sink and stove. NOW I see 2017's with a small crappy outdoor kitchen, a fridge smaller than a dorm fridge, no sink, no stove. Yes I the 2017s have a mount for a grill, and the outside shower is moved next to the kitchen, but not as nice.

Is the large outside kitchen an option?

P.S. Yes the small outside kitchen gains another bunk 4 vs 3, but that doesn't matter to me.

Do not buy it then. You either order to your specifications or see it and buy it. Just saying...

Good luck with your choice. The configurations are a moving constant.

This is a brave new world.

Have you did a search on the net to see if anyone still has the 16 model? I did a quick search and found a couple in Ohio.

Agreed, see it or order specifically!

I agree see or order specifically. My question is, can I still order it?

I'm worried that the large outdoor kitchen was a 2016 or early 2017 option. And is no longer available.

I'm hoping it's still an option. Can be ordered specifically, as I want to customize my order.

Also agree. There are some 2016's around still. If I can't order a new one with that kitchen I'll put out the feelers for a 2016 and deal with it not being my order.

As the other poster said. See and buy or specifically order. My question is can I specifically order the large outdoor kitchen?

I have no answer for that. Do not focus on one model, keep looking for your needs. You may find a dealer in BFE that has it as you saw it.

You have to make the decision to accept what is available now or keep your requirements. No easy answer here on this.

Good luck on your choice as you will have to live with it.

Look for a model or brand that has the floor plan and options you want. You don't have to stick withthat particular brand.

You probably have to ask a dealer that question but I agree with others. Why pay extra for an option on a 2017 when you can get a new 2016 that is exactly what you want? We have a Puma 295bhk that has a large outdoor kitchen and we love it! We'd never go to a smaller one.

It appears it was a mid model year change as I have seen a lot of 2017 29BH with full outside kitchens. We looked at several before getting what we have now.

ANSWERED:

Just got the reply from GreyWolf:
We are still offering the Outdoor Bar and Grill option on the T29BH. *Which is a full outside kitchen instead of the fridge. It does reduce to 3 bunks in this case.

As you can see my confusion when browsing the options is that they list this as a 'Bar and Grill" when it has a Stovetop, not a Grill. Even if they do change the Stove to a Grill, it still is a FULL kitchen with a sink and larger dorm fridge.

I don't care if it's a stove or a grill since i'll likely setup a table with the other one anyway. OK, I'm hoping it's still a stove, but that's not a deal breaker, the sink is!

Thanks for the input everyone. Looks like my plan to order at the RV show is still on track!!!


P.S. Can i edit my original post to indicate this is a "SOLVED" problem? I'm not seeing that option, maybe i'm missing it?

Ditto. We won't buy another camper without one.
