Well, February marks a year since we bought our new Cougar, purchased from Diamond RV in Hatfield, MA. The buying process was a breeze, they are thorough, professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. They gave us a great value on both our trade, and the new unit.
The 326 is a toyhauler, but we don't really use it as one. We have it parked on property we own in the New Hampshire White Mountains, and use it as our escape from our home in CT. The lot has electric, internet, and a septic system, although no drilled well yet. To that end, I fill the holding tank from 7 gallon jugs with a transfer pump when the season permits. In the winter, we dry camp, using the toilet by pouring flush water directly into it, and draining the tank before we leave. The toyhauler design works great for us, as the back room and seperate entrance work great for guests, and as a mudroom for bringing our dogs in and out of the unit.
Ive spent 56 nights in the Cougar in the last year. Other than a few minor warranty issues, the camper has been wonderful, and I wouldn't hesitate to purchase another Cougar product in the future. Ive been pleasantly surprised at how well it holds heat in below freezing temperatures. The single AC kept the unit comfortable on the hottest summer days. All of the appliances and mechanicals have functioned as they should. The auto level did give us some difficulty, but the dealer corrected that with a replacement control unit. The camper towed great, and it is also working well as an extended stay vacation home. We couldnt be happier with our purchase.
