Picked up the Cat today!

Post by wormy on 9/3/2011, 7:14 am

Well here she is. Picked her up this morning. Wildcat 312BHX. Couldnt be happier. I gave the the Classic Chevy a workout first thing. Leaving the dealership is a 6 mile long 6% grade on I-40. She done pretty well. The 454 never missed a beat. Now if I only can get off work to go camping. thumbUp

That's a sweet looking setup. Congratulations. We slept the first night in our driveway. Laughing

Regardless of whether or not you did a PDI before you brought the Wildcat home, I’d take it to the nearest campground and test all the systems.

Don't forget the 2nd year warranty from Forest River as you don't have much time to buy it.

Are you able to access the rear bunk room when the main slide is in/retracted? As some may know, on my 32QBBS you can't get to the main bedroom if the slide is in.

Nope, you are correct. I hadnt noticed that. The slide will have to go out at least half way for the door to open. Which means once I back the rig in my 12ft wide covered shed there aint no gettin the bedroom.
