We did it

We presently own a 327RES and love it but are wanting just a little more room and posted it FOR SALE here about a week ago. We were originally looking at the Alpine 3500RE then we ran into a new Montana floor plan they just started building the 3800RE.......WOW lots more room. We just placed the order today and can't wait to get it. We are leaving for AZ in January and hopefully we will have it for that trip. We got a great deal at Camping World in Meridian ID. The internet sales person there is great to work with and more than helpful, and also gave us a good trade in price for our 327. Happy Campin............Ron

HOLY SMOKOLIE !!! I just looked at the floorplan for the 3800. It's one great looking (and palacial) fifth wheel. Who'da thunk they would put a laundry room in a trailer <wink>

Awsome floorplan, I'm sure you'll enjoy the square dances on the main floor while doing laundry up above.....

Only one question.... How do you call living in that thing RV'ing???? It's as big as some houses <wink>

Hope you get it before the winter trip, that would be one heck of a way to "break it in"

Thanks guys, I know we will be enjoying the new floor plan, similar as the 327 in the rear, but alot more kitchen and linen storage.The only thing that is bothering me is if gets here early enought to go south I will not be able to put water in the system until we get to warmer climate. So if there is a water leak, hopefully I will be able to fix it myself or find a Camping World on the way. One feature I think I will sure enjoy is the 6 point hydraulic automatic leveling system Something that I have never had before, just like the motorhome leveling systems. Thanks again and Happy Campin..............Ron

The trailer should come to you winterized with antifreeze in all the lines. You should be able to use the antifreeze bypass kit and pressurize the system with the hose in a gallon jug of antifreeze. If you leave the pump on, if it cycles, something leaks somewhere, if it doesn't cycle, then you're pretty safe in thinking no leaks from the city water input throughout the pressurized part of the system. All that wouldn't be checked that way would be the 2 fittings on the hot water heater, the outside shower hose/wand fitting and the water tank/supply line up to the pump.
