XLR 27hfs first trip

Hello all. After months of searching for a toy hauler that met our weight and length requirements we chose the forest river product. Our previous trailer was a gulfstream that was flawless for the five years we owned it.
I have to say this trailer is really awesome! Everything worked great. We had one small issue with the entry door strut threads backing out. No big deal,I tightened it up and we were good to go. I thought i would try running the water heater on electric. After waiting 30 minutes for it to heat up I had nothing. I figured i would look at it later and switched the heater to propane. While I was winterizing I found a electric plug that wasn't plugged in. I really didn't think it be that easy.
I like everything about this trailer. There is nothing I feel i have to fix or modify.Great job forest river. I'm looking forward to many years of camping in our new xlr.

Congrats on the new toy hauler. I also got my first toy hauler in April. We got a sand storm. With me and the wife being huge into quad riding we had to find a toy hauler. We took ten trips this summer and can't wait for next. Have fun and enjoy.

Congratulations, We took our first trip last weekend in our new 27HFS and can't wait to get away again. Will spend this weekend figuring out the things we still need. ie Oven, TV system and the rear bed
