Happy with 325srx

[jje1960]

Just wondering how happy others are with their SRX, we are having a ball! We purchased ours in Fall of 2010 (2011 model), and have continued to be amazed at how this model has held it's value (we paid like $33.5K) and love being able to carry our golf cart and have the garage space while at destination! Getting ready to add an extra aircon unit in the bedroom, was a challenge at Myrtle this year keeping it cool, however other than that and the cabinets next to the bed popping staples, just can't find anything to really complain about! Highly recommend this small toyhauler for those that do not want to deal with triple axle 40' models, it's 'just enough'. Finally, anyone else going to Bristol ???? We will be there!

Yes to all of the above, including adding the 2nd A/C (has been a lifesaver) and replacing the closet staples with screws (has held up fine after that.) We're fulltiming in ours! So far so good and no problems, let's see how long it takes us to destroy it under fulltime use...

I also replaced/augmented the staples with 4 black drywall screws each. I had the dealer 'fix' it last year, pop'd first trip. It's kind of humorous actually... I specifically requested they not just re-staple it, so they used some high quality adhesive... however used it like caulking after they re-stapled it...... It actually only took me about 30 mins, should have done it myself in the first place.

I'm VERY happy with my 325srx- mine gets dual use-

1st its a toy hauler for my son and I to race motorcycles out of. I thought I would only use it for far races, but use it for the close ones as camping at the races is free!!! We go to 10-12 races per year.

2nd its a family camper- I have 3 teenage kids- and we fit fine- We went to walmart and bought a futon and throw rug for the garage- $125 total. Now the kids have a place to hang out and my oldest sleeps out there.

Also when family camping I use an extra rolling island in the kitchen for more counter space.

My problems-
1. Busted water hose- May have been a high water pressure issue- I do not know for sure- I now use a pressure regulator.
2. Shower base leaking- This is some thing every one should check- The base of the shower has some flex- the ridge abs piping does not flex. After re-caulking- I added a fernco ( flexible connector) to the drain.

If it was stolen tomorrow- I would be at the dealer in 10 minutes to buy another. I can not believe the value of the trailer.

As long as we're talking about tweaks here are two more I'd add to to any 325SRX...

1. Add a line of stick-on gutter above the cargo door and an additional strip of weatherseal to the top of the door. Horizontal seals are always a challenge and these two steps will ensure no leaks even in the heaviest downpour.

2. Add a screw or retaining strap to the bunk ladder. Without this it is possible (rare, but possible) for it to deploy due to rough roads. If this happens you won't know it until you hear a crunching sound when you deploy the slide, DAMHIK Two bucks of hardware will eliminate this possibility forever.

And I agree with Dave, if the unit disappeared tomorrow I'd buy another. Excellent value and if you want a toy hauler with a completely separate and finished garage and don't want a triple-axle behemoth it's one of the very few choices available.

[jje1960]

Well, only thing we have not added is the gutter for the back door, man... we have been in some serious downpours, however no problem yet! Knocking on wood here..... Our changes have been with the screws/adhesive with the cabinets and the re-seal of the shower stall. And yea... if it got taken tomorrow.... would be bee-lining for the same for a replacement!

Hey. Our current cart is a very old EZGO. It's tight, however poking the front of the cart in the open area between the doors is how we have ours, it's in there right now as a matter of fact. I'll take a picture.

Just got back from a 9 day trip. No motorcycles in the back- but my family can surely fill the garage up.

We had a futon bed in the back for my son. along with surf boards- beach chairs and coolers for camping at Assateague island MD. Dry camping in 90+ degrees - the garage was the best room in the house with the door down and the full screen in place.

The 325srx has meet all my needs-
1. Toy hauler for racing motor cycles.
2. Classy rv for those really nice rv parks- with the family.
3. Now beach house- dry camping for 4 days at the beach.
4. Furniture hauler for bring kids back to collage.

All for these different uses mean it gets used more.

[jje1960]

Cool! Where did you buy the full screen? Can you post pic please.

Jim

[dave-g]

I'll have to get a pic but

this is similar to what I used-

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000R4EPDM

It just mounts with a few screws- and i centered the opening and cut off the extra. It has a magnet closure and weights on the bottom.

Meets 99% of what I want for 10% of wants cw want for one
