Post by LTGC on 6/2/2008, 10:36 am

Here are some pic's that they say are new for 09. New stereo, sewer dump , Rota flex by Trailair and leaf spring supports. Plus some extra pic's just for fun. You can see why we bought a 24RL it just fit. Steve

I just get sick of looking at the 2 dollar white wagon wheels on a $25k camper. Seems like they could put some decent wheels on all new campers instead of the ugly white one's.

I've been eyeing some 24" Spinners for mine ,,,, evil

Thats a Jesse James ( Monster Garage guy ) custom wheel there. I'm sure that would be pushing the cost of a new born....

I'd have to opt for some cheaper one's for sure.... But for now I'll keep looking at my 2buckchuck wheels..... Shooters

I agree...I would like to get a new set of wheels. I would really like a new set of 16" polished aluminum. I may do this since my 'Cat is turning 4 this summer and I probably should replace the rubber before my next long trip.

Any ideas on the best place to find some good looking wheels?

Thanks,
Mark

Yes, your nearest Wildcat dealer. It's time for you to trade your Wildcat in on a new one and get all the recent upgrades including the new wheels.

May not be to many years away from that. We currently have the bunk house w/ the backpack and love it. However the kids are getting older and in 3 years my wife and I will be empty nesters.

At that time we will trade for a 5er w/ the big living room and all the fancy bells and whistles.

Richard, is your 'Cat a West Coast model or an East Coast?

I have and East Coast Model rear kitchen. It is a 2008 built in 2007 so I don't have the new graphic or the new style front cap. I personally don't like the new graphic on the front of the Wildcats but I do wish I had the new design of the cap that allows for tighter turning for the shortbed pickups like I have. I'm thinking about trading it in next year on a Sundance.

One thing that I really like in the newer '08 and '09 Wildcats is the increased tank capacities. Great for boondocking.

I have to agree with you. I have 43 Gal. fresh and 37 Gal. gray and black. I still carry 15 gal. extra water. I have a transfer pump for adding more water if needed. The transfer pump makes adding water so easy no more lifting 5 Gal. jugs just plug it in and away you go.

One thing I want to mention to owners of '08 and '09 Wildcats with the new aluminum wheels. Put a good coat of wax on the center hub and the decorative lug nuts. They will rust, especially if you camp near the ocean. Believe me , I know.

OMG... spinners on a Wild Cat... I know this discussions is a tad dated but I find that a hysterical concept.

I've given thought to up grading our rims to accomodate E load tires rather than constantly pushing the D's that we have.
