The Northpoint we have now has everything on it we wanted because the previous Forest River product we owned didnt have some things. Such as dual A/C units, auto leveling system ( the hydraulic system is faster but the electric system on the Northpoint works just fine) Moryde pin box and suspension system, residential fridge, slide awnings, and the number one must have on anything, PROBLEM FREE UNIT!!! We've been lucky so far with our Northpoint. The issues we've had can be counted on one hand and they are so minimal I'm not even going to say they were a problem. Our Forest River we had was a total pile of junk. It was a running joke as to WHAT was going to break when we used it because everytime we went out something went wrong. Most of it was major stuff too and im talking about things like wheels coming off rolling down the highway, water tank nearly falling out of the bottom of the trailer, leaking roof turning the front closet into a senic waterfall,..... I can go on all day.

They weren’t available in September 2015, when I ordered our 2016 377, but in if available NOW, I’d want the tire upgrade to the Sailun’s or the Goodyear Endurance. Equally, I’d want the disc brake option.

I didn't think that the glass panels were an option until 19 model year? Maybe they can be added to yours? Here is a link to the parts list - https://lci-support-doc.s3.amazonaws...CD-0002652.pdf

Thanks Atlanta m3.
That parts list has me drooling! How ever the sum of the parts I'm sure is greater than the sum of the whole. I have not been able to find a complete kit. I know that Lippert made thim for Jayco and others with the 8' 6" wide toyhaulers, but have not found a dealer that would order one for me yet.
Thanks again Desertman

I'm pretty happy with my 2017 23RB. Came with all the bells and whistles that we need. I'm happy with no slide, while providing all the interior living space we need.
One thing I do wish it had is a pantry. As things stand currently, we make do by with putting light weight food items such as cereal, etc up high in the ample hanging cabinets, and putting heavier items in a sliding tray in one of the dinette seats.

If you’re referring to options ours came pretty well complete. However my big wish list would be serviceability. I do not understand why you have to disassemble the whole front compartment to remove the furnace for service. Or remove the water heater to replace an eight dollar electric element. Or the inlet for the central vacuum cleaner on the floor by the steps so you have to get on your hands and knees to hook it up. It just shows the people that designed them really don’t care. ( I apologize for the rant )

I see several others mentioning it now, but I also kind of wish I had gotten slide toppers. Not that big a deal to install them myself on this unit though...

That's insane! Last November I was almost home when I felt a big bump. I looked in my mirror and saw the skirting was sticking out and was clearly mangled. I pulled over and the right rear wheel was gone. All the lug nuts had sheared off, I never did find the tire and wheel. I checked the lugs on all the other wheels and they were tight. The hub itself would spin freely so it wasn't locked up. After 3 months in the shop, I picked it up. I drove it very cautiously, concerned that it would happen again but it never did.

So you wish you had gotten recliners? What did you get instead?

the 265 just came with the chairs that rock while the recliners/rockers come with the 27 and it was like 5 grand more. We decided it wasn't worth all that extra money. Maybe one day we'll get a set from camping world or something.

The Eagle 332cbok we got came with most of what I wanted, 2 ac units, 2 tvs, auto leveling, upgraded steps, residential refrigerator, outside kitchen. It came wired for the rear camera so I had that added, we shall see how useful it is. I wish it had come with the central vacuum, though I don't know how good they are, and I wish it had more linen closet space. I also would like to have added the outdoor kitchen tv, but I think I can do that myself. Mostly, I wish it had come with the disc brakes.

Our Keystone Cougar came with 2 rocking/swivel chairs and I always wanted recliners so I get your point.

After several trips in our 2019 Jayflight 28BHS we got rid of the Godforsaken table that came with it and are now using a good card table. We also got rid of the jack knife sofa and got two recliners.
One thing I did insist on when buying this unit is a battery cutoff. It has made life a lot happier.

I don't care for the location of Tele vs small couch. I wish I had the 2 reclining swivel chairs instead of a double couch (3-person couch would also be nice) as we don't have any children.
Also wish the couch folded out to a bed in case I have company.
Also prefer the "U-Shaped dinette" so we can sit with our dogs.
Wish the lower bunk had AC or at least a built in fan.
Bigger fridge would be nice

I'd like to hear about the tire monitoring system and the cell phone booster. 1st, how did you add them? 2nd, how does the cell phone booster work?
Thanks
