Jack is geared pretty low, and takes a while to jack up, I upgraded to an electric, easily changed with 3 bolts and connection to battery.Ģ 5/16 ball mount, with standard 7 pin connections, and trailer brake connection. Propane cylinder mount on the front is single tank, quick connect no wrench needed, with plenty of room to add a double mount, be mindful of tongue weight according to manufacturer’s recommendations before making any modifications.īattery box and connections are standard, mine came with Interstate startingdeep cycle. Awning has an LED strip light at the camper, which is full width of the awning, switch is on the panel just inside the door.Īxle is single Dexter axle with grease fittings on the end caps. With having no window in the door, this limits vision to the front of the unit while parked. One down side is that the door cannot be fully opened with the awning down, the arm obstructs it. It has shock absorbers that drop the awning when it gets water built up on it. Unit is prewired for a backup camera, and has “Zamp” brand solar hookups standard.Īwning is power model, is somewhat narrow at 10 feet, this is due to window and door placements on this unit. There are no lights in these compartments, I added battery touch lights. The latches seem light, I would not road run it with just the hand latches used I lock the compartments with the key locks, which all doors have.

No window in the door and no window in the bathroom. Window by sink and at head of the bed do not open. Standard colors and graphics, paint in not super shiny, more of a matte or satin finish.ĭoors and windows: Windows at the rear around the table are very large, making a bright seating area with great views, back window has bottom small slide opening, side windows have slide by bottom up, with screens. Roof is advertised as “full walk on” and does have around 4” of crown in the center, not a standard flat roof, mine was used in moderate rain and the gutters and end drains worked well. I was in no way compensated for this review, I just want people to get the best camper to suit their needs without getting caught up in sales hype while shopping for a camper, or limited information online. friends and family with units from popup all the way up to Class A motor homes. Prior I camped 7 years in a popup, and have So far I have camped twice for 6 nights total in this camper. All opinions should be taken as mine, your results may vary.
