I was on the forum a couple years ago but asked to be removed when I bought a different brand. So I'm back shopping again.
I'm looking at a new 2012 FX17 model. I'm getting rid of a Lighthouse T18RB which I still really like but it has
severely limited water capacity...and cargo. So I'm trying to keep the trailer length close and started looking at
two axle units with larger water capacity. I went back to look at a dealers FX17 this morning.
Questions:
Likes: Enclosed basement, ducted A/C (hopefull more qieut), has an oven, marine style power inlet connector, under tongue tire carrier.
A competing dealer mention OSB being used VS Jayco's plywood.
I'm sure there will be more questions.

Questions:
- Why is the entry step so high up? It's almost like an extension is missing but their (dealers) other NT trailers were are the same way.
- City water inlet in the rear of the trailer?
- Fresh water inlet on the door entry side? This will be great at home but not so when I stop at an RV park.
- Could the bedside fire escape window be replaced with one one can use for ventilation? My current trailer the window is similar but has a prop to keep it open for ventilation.
- Does the ducted A/C really cycle like a resiential unit? Or is it like my current unit that is noisy and just cycles the compressor on and off.
- Is the power awning adjustable like my current non powered unit? I've never owned a power awening.
