Got ours Jan. 2010. Pulled it to Fla last winter for 2 months, then 10K to Alaska and back this past summer. All the time with the Road King in the back. No complaints. Did change to a Mor/ryde pin box and LT tires before we took it to Alaska. More storage than we've needed - except for the freezer which was full of salmon and halibut on the return trip.

We got our 347tht March 2011 and have put aprox 5k miles on it. Primarily in Ohio state parks, we get half off during the week. Makes for cheap camping. This Jan were going to head for texas then out to Arizona(Quartzite)and Cali, then home to catch the last few snow falls. The camper has been excellent, the dealer not so much. I have a wheel chock installed for my EG Classic, but it hasn't gone yet. After I load my wifes wheelchair and porta trike and my bicycle theres no room for the Harley. Its ok I still got my wife. I ride with Rolling Thunder so I still get to ride about 10k miles a year. Retirement is great, getting old ---- not so much.

" The camper has been excellent, the dealer not so much. "
I'm planning on my first purchase in the spring and looked at one at a dealer near Ackron 2 weeks ago. Who did you buy from...? Thanks....

THT as far as I know its Toy Hauler Trailer.
We bought ours from General RV in the Akron area. Great camper, dealer not so much. Most of the problem is it cost me $100 in fuel to take the camper to the dealer for every thing that we found wrong. And I needed 3 return trips. These were all things that went wrong but should have been discovered by a good dealer prep.

I should mention that I only took it back once, so they could install the booth/dinnett (std item) that we wanted. The defective pigtail on one of the propane tanks I replaced myself, The misaligned shower door I corrected myself, the self adjuster mechanism on one of the brakes- I replaced myself (got great cooperation from Dexter axle).
The TV remote that was defective, well I'm still waiting for them(GENERAL) to send me one. I called Jenson and they sent me one right away. Several of the manuals were missing and they promised to mail them to me, stillll waitinggggg. I contacted Keystone and they sent me what I needed. Thanks Keystone. Some of the problems we had were not noticeable on my walk through when we picked up the camper. When you pick up a new camper run the furnace off both LP tanks, run the stove, run the oven, run the Frig. run the Hot water heater. These are just the LP gas checks that should have been done by the dealer. Things can go wrong with any camper thats why there is a warrenty, but to get a new vehicle home and then discover that some things needed repair leads to bad customer relations.

We never wanted to have to think about a generator or wished we had one so.... we got their 5.5KW LP Marquis Gold unit factory installed. We love it so far and won't leave home without it.

We got the factory installed 5.5KW LP Marquis Gold unit. When the DW wants to use the microwave she won't accepth any power outage. I ordered the LP because you don't have the expense or hassle of gummed up carberators/ spilled gas, etc. I also added a second 12vdc battery, hopefully this will run the furnace and fridge all night till morning when I can run the generator. We had to stay at an empty campground last year with 6 inches of snow on the ground in our old camper with no generator. Fortunately there was shore power. Over 200+ campsites and we were the only ones there. It was really beautiful at night with the fresh snow and all but I would have felt better if we had a generator. Now we do. yea and a toy hauler too yea again.

We were looking at this model also and was wondering if one could have one of the drop down beds installed in the garage, like most other toy haulers. Having a spare drop down would give more storage space or an extra bed for the wife when I get to snoring to loud
Right now with our 3400RL we are also towing a atv trailer with our 05 Dodge CC. Having a toy hauler would shorten it up some

Nice to see some 347 owners. We have the bedroom AC, fireplace, dual pane windows, 2 fantastic fans. We ordered the prep for washer/dryer but for now that is excellent closet space. We also have gen prep, just no gen. Our camping consists of mostly local campgrounds around KC MO. Our one extended trip in our '11 347 was Aug-Sept this year and finally have become comfortable with setup, departure and travel. 12 days spent in Estes Park, CO and it was really great to park, set up and just enjoy all that RMNP has to offer. Heritage rode fine. No doubt about it the 347 provides us with all we need. After I unloaded the Heritage we turned the garage into our "den" for the remainder of the stay. With the screen down we could view Long's Peak and still have privacy. The bike fits great under the bedroom for overnight parking.
We are now WW--winterized and waiting for spring.
Later
