Up until now, we thought it wouldn't be worth trading off our 5th wheel for a new one. After all, we have one of the best insulated ones out there. It's taken us through snow days and below freezing weather. And of course through some hot humid summer days.
We took a few days to drive up to Howe, IN on the 4th of July weekend to take a tour of the DoubleTree factory.
They were busy in production , so it was a little noisy. Many other factories were taking time off during the slow time. DT has already been producing some new 2009's. While we saw some on the floor of the plant in various stages of production, we didn't see any finished units. It was too close to the first of the month and they had all left the plant.
We do know the floorplan we have is great, but are looking at one of their others next time. We will try to custom order with a few special features. By the time we order, they may have turned some ideas into an Option. RV dealers are constantly upgrading as they get Customer feedback.
Just a few of What's New for 2009.
New Trailair levelers
Frameless windows
Water softener
Hanging pendant lights over kitchen island/sink
Short shag carpets in darker colors
New darker kitchen flooring
Increased insulation with Arctic package.
A-Pak includes 2 furnaces and tank heaters
We were glad we had the time to check out the Factory from the Inside Out. Quite the place. We had also gone through another brand's MiniTour the day before. Big differences in building structures. We came away knowing DT is still one of the better 5th wheels made.
