Well guys and gals, we took delivery of our new 428 yesterday. Paint job is amazing. Couple issues inside. Very minor items. Bathroom door has a scratch on it and one of the window screens is scratched. New ones are on order.
The outdoor kitchen area is nice. I wasn’t expecting the cook top to fold down. I discovered that this AM. I just thought it pulled out. Feel awkwardly high to reach then we discovered it was on hinges.
Other than that, things are looking really good. Going to get it all cleaned up and camp in the driveway tonight.

Sweet looking trailer !!!!!
One question for you: After towing it home, do you think my Ranger would be able to handle it? We always pack light !!! 
Really though, looking at the Keystone website, with everything that's packed into it, it's easy to see why the GVWR is 20K on that monster.... Again, sweet trailer.....

Oh for sure! Your Range will have no issues! Swing over and get her and take it for a spin!

Took the new rig out for one last camping trip this weekend. Everything went pretty smooth. JRTJH helped me through a minor issue, so thank you JRTJH for that!

Very cool to see pics of that rig. My 379 has the same layout, just slightly smaller living room and a lot smaller garage  . I’ve had mine for 9 months now and have worked through quite a few quirks. If you have questions let me know I’ve probably seen it happen on mine
I pull mine with a modified smart car so I’d say a ranger can handle yours easily.

Nice trailer! John's claim of the Ford Ranger is just ludicrous, after all, it's no Toyota Tacoma!

Very true, with the Tacoma you can also do lots of off-roading AND tow anything perfectly.

I prefer the traditional tank, they regenerate so fast I've never ran out of hot water.
I have a couple employees living full time in a 2021 AlpineRL with On Demand and I haven't been impressed with its functionality.

Marshall! Can't let it scab over and heal? How long can a Tacoma fixation last?

Fixaction? Hardly, more like "redent events " but to your analogy sometimes a festering wound needs to be debreided before it actually heal.
