I live right down the street and I just happen to be going there right now to check on my rig. I'm going to check out yours.
I'm sure it's in the back lot with a sold sticker on it.
The back lot is double stacked with sold units. They are selling a lot of trailers there.

Oh ya. Kary said they have like 800 units on the lot. Mine is coming right from the factory but there was an identicle one there yesterday out back. Shadow colour. We are about 40 minutes away...great place... and huge... that was my first time walking in there. Impressive to say the least!!

My NorthPoint has been here for 5 months getting things fixed.
I don't really care. It's 2 minutes down the street and it's not hogging my driveway for a winter.
I'm sitting beside a sold 27BHS now out back, I guess it's not yours. I really like the colour.
And it has the bikerack on the front already..very handy.
I gave this one a Klassic once over. When yours arrives have them do something about these simple un-waterproof wire nuts, if yours comes the same. Drivers side where the wire junction is, to split the wire to the passenger side.
This is going to cause you nothing but problems. You might as well get it fixed before your drive off the lot.
That will be corroded before a year.
Nice rig.

Well hey, at least you got free storage.. haha. I will definitely have them do something about those wires.. seems a bit cheesy to me. We are having the bike rack installed on ours as well... the hitch mount. I like that idea better than the rear mount... at least I can keep an eye on the bikes and not wonder of they are still there. Haha. That trailer tho is probably the one we went through on tuesday before we bought. Exact same unit and features. Perfect size for the wife and I and our 2 year old. Plus extra room if we bring anyone else.

We love it. We didn't get a full season out of it last year since we bought it late summer, but we've already made about a dozen trips with it.

The outside kitchen really comes in handy. I can do my thing outside, while someone else is cooking inside and it really speeds up how long it takes to get food in you

I was going to go camping this weekend, but the weather took a downturn.
