Does anybody have one of these? Just got ours and have a few questions about it.

What questions do you have? Most RV's use the same components, just in a different layout.

Never mind got them answered. Thanks

what were your questions, we're looking at that model and the FK model and looking for some feedback from those that has those models

Mainly the satellite hook up to the living room and the bedroom/outside TVs. I got it figured out. Had to get 2 Walleys one for the living room and the other one for the bedroom and the outside TV.

We took it out for the first time this past weekend and really loved it. Minor problems - one is the MAXXFAN won't cut off or lid closing. The other one is one of the basement latches will not catch.

A friend of mine got one and found that he was over his F350 1 ton payload by 800 lbs and over his 1 ton rear axle ratings by 200 lbs. He ended up trading for DRW. The kitchen in the front right over pin is heavy plus that huge basement.

I'm upgrading my 2500 to a 3500 DRW, that should pull any model we're looking at. The payload is the biggest issue.

Yep that should do it. My 3711 front living room was at 14,100 lbs had a 3120 pin and my trucks GVWR was 11500 and on the cat scale with RV hooked up was 11,380 packed for a 30 day trip.
