New 34RL2 Owner, well almost...

Started shopping for a fifth wheel last winter and finally signed the order form for a 2017 34RL2 today. So I'm not really a CC owner for another 8 long weeks! but I have never been closer.

Pretty happy with the purchase and my trade allowance but bottom line is we're getting EXACTLY what we want, floor plan, options and all. We did make a couple of last minute decisions that I'm very happy with and that is going with the traditional folding steps and the gas/electric 12gal water heater. I usually am first to embrace new technology but these two things don't measure up to there old school units.

Options include, Onan 5.5 generator, 12' slide room awning, 3 slide toppers, Trail Air pin box, rear observation camera, 6 point leveling system, and 2nd A/C unit.

See you at the FROG Rally next summer.

No more navy showers

We purchase our 36CKTS in January. We got all the options you took. We did keep the on demand hot water and are VERY happy with it. The new steps were not available in January. The best thing about the on demand hot water is NO MORE NAVY SHOWERS.

Congrats! We ordered our 34RL2 September 8, about half-way through that long wait. We also got the traditional steps and H20 heater. No generator, but we got the dual-pane windows. We opted for the stock pin box, until we see if we are going to need the sidewinder with our shortbed.

We plan to be at the rally too.

Congrats! The only negative I see is the 8 week wait!

Congrats on your new trailer! Hope you will be as happy as we have been with ours!(2011) see that you live down south of us so guessing you will also get more use of it as well! Take care and travel safe!
