Took our first trip with our 29ROB last weekend. Towed like a dream! Hitch is mounted a bit too high but it still pulled like nothing was back there! My father-in-law's truck bucked and kicked the whole 300 miles home from the dealer! I'm assuming that's mostly due to the el-cheapo hitch he had (14k Reese, only swivels front-to-back). Very impressed! Some things we need to change like why on earth did they put the bathroom door that way, have to step down to open the door?? Looking into alternatives for that... Lack of clothing storage in front bedroom is another issue. Overall I think we are going to enjoy this unit very much. The kids are super excited over their HUGE bedroom with their very own TV! Oh and only "oops" was dealer didn't close drain valves!! Never thought to check to be sure they were closed, just popped the drain cover!! Luckily it was only a one night stay but still a "crappy" situation!

Glad to hear things went well on the first trip out. I added one of these to the end of my sewer hose connection. I also added a clear extension to see if the tank is clean and to see if one of the valves was leaking.

Just wanted to update as we have now camped in the new coach for a total of 8 nights now. We found a leak as you can see from my other post but no fault to the RV. I also discovered a storage area by the DW's side of the bed. It had a "blank" cover over the opening. With the limited storage in the front bedroom area it was nice to find this extra space. Why on earth do these manufacturers "hide" space that can be utilized? I just punched out the panel and now have more clothes storage.
While not exactly what we wanted (we wanted the 330RBK but it was over $10k more) I think it will work for us for the next few years. Once kids are old enough to kick em out in tents maybe then we'll upgrade to something more adult friendly

Ditto on the Twist on valve. I just added one after forgetting to shut the valve on the kitchen sink holding tank. Went to a public dump station and was embarassed to have such a mess to clean up.
