I bought a 2014 Cougar High Country before they made the changes; has walkable roof, ladder, upgraded suspension etc. We liked it due to all the higher end features. We found right after we bought it that they discontinued them - some of the parts were already "discontinued". I was dismayed and visited with the GM of the dealership about it. His comments were: the high end travel trailers don't move very quick. When the price gets to 50-60k or so folks look at 5th wheels and other options, not a travel trailer. You got a super price on your trailer, right? (Yes I did). That's because we had to discount it a LOT because it wouldn't move.
These comments are to highlight the previous posts about moving away from the heavier, costly components in the old Cougar line to the xlite trailers
. Now.......back to the roof discussion - sorry for the off tangent remarks.
