Looking at a 2017 Designer 37FB

Anyone have anything good or bad to say about the new Designer line? The one i'm looking at is well optioned, disc brakes, 3rd AC, 2nd awning, outside TV, sanicon system,Good Year H tires and thermal windows. Are the Designers worth the extra $$ over the Pinnacle or North Point? Also looking at Forest river Riverstone . Currently have a 2012
Montana Big Sky 3625RE that we are starting to have some problems with and are looking to upgrade, would like to hear from owners of the new Designers, do you love it, or have you had issues? Thanks for any input!

I've been through the Disigners and (JMHO) I think it's just a bunch of fluff.
Unless you were IN LOVE with a certain floor layout and the cabinet colour, I think the Pinnacle would be just as good for way less money.
You still get the same cheap-o Tv's, exhaust fans, wall controllers, vacuum, doors, plumbing, electrical, steps, awnings, windows, same dummies put it together, same ones welded the frame.
It's not like you get a WAY better built coach. I found horribly assembled stuff in the designers I went in.

For less money you could have a custom painted Pinnacle with Goodyears and disc brakes.
I guess you'd miss out on a few extra touches they add to try and justify the cost.
You could get the dealer to add the dishwasher, and induction cook top if that was a selling feature.

But, hey, if you have the money then what the heck. I would love to have a head turning designer behind my TV.

Get them while they are hot!

All 4 of the Designer floor plans are marked "Dealer Stock Only".

I noticed the "dealer stock only". That run didn't last long. Do we any insight if a high end replacement will be in the jayco line up or have they given up on that niche.
