we have upgraded our 5er

pulled the trigger on our new 5er purchase yesterday

sold our springdale 249 bh, and put money down on a new keystone, laredo, 30bh

it is not the most expensive rig by far but it has everyhting we were looking for, filon exterior, nicely appointed interior, good storage,
enclosed heated underbelly, lots of bunks, much better insulation, everything the springdale did not have

i will post pics after we take delivery on tuesday

i do think we grabbed the most expensive hitch on the market though
a 24k super glide

That will quickly make up for a lesser expensive coach! Congratulations on the new purchase!

Where did you get it from? I'm looking at upgrading also but not really sure what to look for as far as type of exterior, insulation, etc..

I know what floor plan I want but thats about it.

go see amanda bruner over at windish rv on 6th ave and simms 303-274-0731
tell her shane wagner sent you

they had three of them on sale this week 10k off msrp, we were thinking about buying in december but i couldn't pass up those kinds of savings 26,900
a steal at a higher price

we looked literally at every major maunfacturer available in colorado

this is the nicest thing we found bar none, mako, gulfstream, flagstaff, terry, jayflight, jayco eagle, crossroads, colorado, open road, mckenzie starwood, aspen, outback, and some other not worth taking brochures for

we saw a ton of trailers, the cheaper ones didn't match up the more expensive ones didn't match up, we are very happy

Awesome! You'll love your Laredo! We just picked one up in late June! I only got the 15K Super Fifth though. Opted for NO slider hitch this time around because I never used the feature one time in 5 years w/ my old hitch!

We're going to that rv liquidation at Mile high this weekend to look around and see what kind of deals we can get. I'll definately look into the keystones.

Thanks, Aaron

i know for a fact that windish will have at least two of them there at the show

the evergreen one had the vinyl flooring replaced so we skipped it as the flooring is no longer one solid piece
i think keystone damaged the flooring during construction, i am sure it happens all the time but i like the idea of having the subfloor sealed off from potential leaks
