New HW 296

Gonna go pick it up in Utah early next week. Traded away our 2012 HW277. Just needed a little more room for the 5 of us.

Thinking ahead:

1. It is gonna come with 1 battery. We need two. Does adding the 2nd really involve rerouting the lp lines? Heard it may but could not confirm

2. The wardrobe hanging bag is over the couch next to the door instead of over the cabinet on the other side of the trailer. I see another user had the same issue. Question - Can I just screw in some small eyebolts into the ceiling? Think FR may have put backing in the spot they placed the bag?

Thank you,

Congratulations on the new camper. You will love it. I think your dealer could get the info from the factory. On mine, the wardrobe hooks are next to where the tv is mounted. I wonder if they've moved it? Mine is a 2017.
I love the sofa and extra table. We call it my "office." Its far more comfortable for me to sit at if we are indoors than the dinette.

Congrats on your new camper..... I do not know the answers to your question but will keep an eye on the post to see what others think.

We just bought a new HW296 and have been learning and stocking it for the last month. We will be taking it on its maiden voyage next weekend to Nashville. (only a few hour drive from us)

Well if you bought it off the floor- it was probably ours! We traded it in December 2013 for a larger trailer. The guys at Johnny Walker were surprised at the condition and how much stuff we packed away in it.

Small world! If you need any ideas for your next unit, or places to go send me a message.

We got it from the couple that bought it off Johnny Walker lot. That's awesome. Small world. Love the trailer. We are a family of 5 so we are going a little bigger.

You guys still out here in Vegas?
