After two agonizing months of waiting, I dropped off my Jayco this morning and picked up my new Outback 277RL and I'm sitting by the picture window drinking my first cup of coffee.

I didn't think very much about it when i saw it at the show, but it's a little short on outside storage. That's the only down side to the trailer that I can see, but DW really likes it and that's what counts. I've already got a couple of things in mind, one being an aluminum diamond tread box for the rear bumper that will carry my air compressor and tool box. I'm trying to keep the tongue weight down, so probably not much besides hoses and electrical cors will go in the front pass-through. One unexpected event was that After cranking the tongue jack half a dozen times, I knuw a power jack was in the cards, so that got put on before I even left the dealer. That will be money well spent.
Projects on the front burner... Install my Progressive Industries EMS. Still havn't figured out where that's gonna go. The second is to do away with the mouse hole shore power setup and install a Marinco 30A inlet so I can use my detachable power cord. I'm sure DW will come up with some ideas, but honestly, I can't see that this trailer really needs much in the way of mods..
