So close..... We were supposed to pick it up today, but due to all the rain in the last 2 weeks, the delivery from the Manufacturer didn't make it to the Dealer until yesterday. Our dealer was not comfortable enough with only one day to go over it and prep it for delivery, so they asked if we can push the pickup to next week.

We did go down today and visit it..... :thumbsup:

Did you roll around on all the beds and sit on all the surfaces??  😉

That was the first thing we did with our new one.

Can't wait to get the tour at French Creek !

Well we only got a quick look see as they had just opened it and had not inspected it yet. We pick it up on the 12th and assuming it doesn' rain on Sunday the 13th, will get it loaded for French Creek.

Its going to be a great adventure for us this year, with now a new high end High Wall popup and a travel trailer, we could end up having a year with 45-60 days of camping.

I love that slide-out cook area.  I'd seen some pivot out and thought that was pretty cool.

Congrats guys.  I'm sure you'll love your new baby.

I can't wait to hear about that kitchen slide out.  Looks amazing and I'm sure has all the drains tied together to an onboard gray tank.
I have the 625d that has the dual 1'1/2" drains that I have to tie together for each unique camping adventure ;D.

Storage looks like a challenge on that unit.  We have a front trunk, dinette slide storage, and storage under our couch.

That's the tradeoff in this particular model, in order to get the space for the outside kitchen, they had to relocate the door farther to the right, so you loose the storage box area that was in the front. That being said, with the extra cabinet space it creates and the dinette seat storage (accessable from the outside), its still far more than we had before and in the end, the outside kitchen was higher up on the priority list than more storage space (for us).

We have a bath to the right of our door, small one drawer storage directly across with the converter beneath it.  The remainder goes: under the couch, front trunk or under the dinette seats.

And for those looking at future upgrades to larger box, I will point out this is a 14 ft box, yet I have as much long counter and eating space as a 16 ft box.

Since I've not really seen that many pups, this is the first I've seen with an oven.

and we will be baking with it this weekend. Have to have some delicious orange rolls to go with Joe's 42 cup coffee pot.

So far, we are very happy. I have a warranty issue with the King Bed, but that is already in progress. (most of the stitching on the top part of the bed has come unthreaded).

Overall, I am much happier with "fit and finish" compared to my Coleman/Fleetwood. I like the Coleman lift system better, but its hard to argue with pushing a button to raise the roof on the Flagstaff HW. It used to drive me insane in the Seapine that all the electrical sockets were crooked, the floor lines weren't parallel to the cabinets, curtain tracks not level, etc. In the Flagstaff, all the fits are good, level and clean. Even caulking has been smoothed and edged. Something as simple as using clear caulk around the stainless steel sink against the counter top makes all the appearance difference in the world.

My only major dislike is how they handle the black water and grey water. Almost every other system in the world brings them together in a single 3" output and you just open the valve  you want to dump. In the Flagstaff, the Black and Grey have separate discharges and separate sizes and separate locations.
