Questions about Fuzion toy hauler

[jaeger63]

Could anyone enlighten me on what constitutes a touring edition v/s non touring edition? I've found a fair priced Fuzion 322 for sale. It does not state that its a Touring edition. Is it worth the extra cost or extra leg work to try and find a touring edition for sale. Another question I have. It does have the Blizzard package. Does that mean it comes with the ducted heating and or pads around the fresh water tank or does it just mean the plumbing is enclosed? Thanks for any insight

I think I have the "blizzard" package according to the sticker by the door. As long as it's above 50 during the blizzard I'm ok. There aren't pads and I haven't seen any heat vent under there, at least as far as I can see. Maybe they use radiant heat from the heat duct itself. It is enclosed. There are various threads on here regarding the different packages and the marketing hype surrounding them. It's mostly marketing hype.

Can't answer you about the touring edition.

What year are you looking at? I have a 2011 322 Touring Edition. I'm not 100% on the differences off hand but have them listed somewhere. Stainless appliances, larger refrigerator, front jacks are hydraulic, remote control that operates front and rear jacks, slide outs, and awning, rear deck patio system, 2 AC's and rear has a heat strip, better duct work throughout. I'm not sure about the water heater, may be larger but don't know. We are very happy with it but the new one's are even nicer.

I have a 2010 FZ322 Touring Edition II. As far as we can tell, there are just a few upgrades. We have two AC's, a patio kit, Vacuum cleaned, a recliner, Sat dish on top, washer/dryer prep, Generator, The bottom bed makes a table that say Fuzion TE II on it, and some other stuff that is just "stuff". The "bells and whistles" seem to be a few more than the norm. One of our friends has a Fuzion. His paint is different, and he is missing a few of the bells and whistles.
The blizzard package adds minimal help insulating at best.
Search posts for "insulating the underbelly" and there is a true Master of the craft on here. I can't remember his handle.
The best advice on a polar package that I have heard is,"make your own polar/blizzard package!"

The one I'm looking at is a 2011 322 but its not the Touring edition, or at least they did not list it as such. I would like to know more about insulating the underbelly even more. I will be using it occasionally during very cold weather. So.....the blizzard package does not do all that much is what I'm hearing. Does the Monster package offer more underbelly insulation? The amount of info and options on these things seems overwhelming LOL!!! Thanks much

The monster package does not add any insulation. It is the newer name for the Touring Edition. Geo is the member that has several posts on making the unit more four season friendly.

I have a 2011 Touring III 398. In addition it to everything he mentioned it also has its own interior.

How could I correspond with Geo about improving the insulation? Can I do a search for old threads. I'm new to this site. Thanks much

I had a Touring Edition III and now a Chrome. Here is what a TE III package gets you.

I would ignore Blizzard packages and the like and insulate as you see fit for cold weather RVing. Pipe and tank heaters as well as better insulation underneath would be the places to start imo.

Numbered TEIII with Limited Edition Graphics
50 Numbered TEIII with Limited Edition Paint
Dual 15,000 BTU Air Conditioners
9 Cubic Foot Stainless Steel Refrigerator

Raised Panel Cherry Cabinet Doors
Hydraulic Front Landing Gear
Keyless Entry System

Look near the top of the page and you will see "community" in the blue bar. Click on this and you will see "members list". Click on this. Geo is on page 134. Click on his name. His profile page will come up. Click on statistics and then all threads started by Geo. He has numerous posts on adding tank heaters and insulation. If you have further questions, you can give him a private message and I'm sure he will help if he can.

If you want to send him a PM, I'm sure that the "Lord of the Underbelly" would be more than glad to enlighten you.
