First night in the new 8327ss

Kids are up, early. We just took possession of our new 8327ss. We spent the night on the dealer lot. Today we move the monster to a local campground to start loading it up. So far, we can't find anything wrong.

That looks like a table that would hook up to a bracket on the outside of your trailer. Who much of a walk through did your dealer do, this should have been something they showed you. It maybe an extension for you kitchen counter as well.

That is a shelf that go's next to your outside grill. It gives you a work area or a place to put a adult beverage when cooking outside.

Looks to be a chair or couch arm table.

I can't find a rail anywhere that it looks like hooks to.

Next option would be a kitchen counter add on/extension.

You posted it was under the mattress could it be a night stand?

There is a metal channel on the door side of your unit that it slides on. We just picked up our new Rockwood today too & have the same shelf.

Congrats on the new rig, that is a shelf that fits on a small strip on the exterior. Should be near the propane quick connect.

Welcome I also have a 8327 and yes that is a shelf that mounts outside. Our rail where the shelf mounts is on the kitchen slide near the lp hose our the camper grill. If you still have some issues let me know and I will send pics of mine mounted. Enjoy the camper I know my family loves our 8327. It's perfect for bigger families.

You guys are awesome. We consumed most of our walk through on mechanics. We were going to ask this morning but the stress of actually hauling this thing made it seem like a trivial issue. I'll have to put it on tomorrow. I looked at the grill rail and it just didn't look to match but didn't actually have them side by side. So far loving it. Just need the kids to calm down and stop moving the bunk ladder and locking all the doors.

Well one other thing to remember is to make sure the storage door is closed that located under the closet slide as the slide and the door will make contact I'm speaking from experence....

Yes, and double-check when closing those slideouts...we've come too close to squashing our recliner a couple of times.

Oh yeah,that side storage was the first thing I looked at. Read enough people on here about it. Tomorrow is another big day, taking it to storage for the week and I'm driving.

Congrats. We love our 8327! The toilet does fill slow now that you mention it. That's ok less water in the black tank.
