Pinnacle's Maiden Voyage

We just got back from our first trip out in our new 36fbts to Carlyle Lake in Illinois. Everything was better than our expectations. Few minor glitches to work out and still learning how everything works. We are now really looking forward to the next trip out in 2 weeks. Just hope the weather holds out.

Good to hear, can hardly wait for spring. Had we seen the FBTS floorplan when we ordered in 2014 our decision would have very tough.

Glad everything worked out, Your rig looks nice. I hope to get ours out in a couple weeks too....these new rigs have so much automated and controls, that I can understand it's going to be a few nights figuring things out, our last unit was 10 years old and only had a remote for the TV...lol

Glad you had success! Hope you enjoy your Pinnacle as much as we do ours. We are taking our Pinnacle to Alaska again for the summer, its 2nd trip there.

Alaska is on our bucket list but that is a long journey from where we live in Illinois. But someday after we retire that will be in our plans. Safe travels!

Congrats! The new Pinnacle looks awesome. How do you like the front bathroom? My DW and I just ordered a Pinnacle 36 RSQS and are waiting delivery. The double sinks in yoiur model looked really tempting but decided on the 36RSQS.

The front bath was our main selling point for us. So nice to have a bathroom big enough to stand while getting dressed.
