Here are pics we took of our new BC. It is right off the line - perhaps a half hour. Note how clean it is inside and out. Still waiting for sofa.

That's Joe looking at the tires, wheels, and axles on the ground. We had upgraded these.

There are also other changes too - such as we asked for the BH vinyl - it looks just great.

WOW - Pretty!!!:) They sure have come a long way since we had a BC 3250. Enjoy and travel safely. (Hope to see her at a future HL event - Maybe even at the North America Heartland Rally).

We'll have to check her out. We will be in the in-field (horse training track) with 8 other TN/KY rigs. Can't wait to meet ya'll.

We picked it up yesterday and just love it!!! We were also very surprised as it towed very well with just a standard pin box. Our BH had a TrailAir TriGlide pin box. We were going to get the same for the BC but are now considering a Mor-Ryde instead.

We really like the layout - the moveable island is just great! The 2014's have a more balanced set of windows in the rear now - at first I was a bit disappointed because I wanted the longer window but the large picture window is right at the sofa. The 2014's also have a single door for the W/D closet - more convenient...

The sofa just fits!!! Need to be sure to have all cushions in alignment before you put in slides. We pushed our sofa down to one end and put in a small end table with a lamp (fyi sofa is screwed down to the floor as Joe found out when trying to move it :)).

We're going to have to adjust the TV some but it's very cool how it tips back and there is storage behind it. The standard Toshiba TV works better than we expected - we were considering trading it with a Samsung from the house.

We really like the max-vinyl which goes all the way under the sofa.

We went with the Renaissance decor - really looks nice with the wallpaper they put on the rear wall (green). Like the wainscotting around the dinette as well.

The dual ACs work just great - they are integrated - we didn't expect that. We knew the bedroom AC would be ducted but we didn't realize that either can be used to cool the entire RV. Our thoughts are that we will use the bedroom AC during the day on high to keep down noise in the living.

LED lights are great and there is a great deal of them. Really like the LED lights under the awning.

The standard mattress is ok by us...we'll consider replacing it in the future when needed.

Sofa bed mattress leaves much to be desired. We really wanted the BH sofa air bed but it wouldn't fit in the back. We're looking into other mattresses. However, we found that the mattress actually creates the foundation for the sofa's cushions so it can't be too thin or too thick or the cushions don't fit well.

Joe's been spending the day emptying the garage of our BH stuff - hard to believe how much can fit in these RVs.

Our out the door weight per the yellow sticker was 11,990 but that didn't include the sofa. We're glad we upgraded the axles and tires.

Best of luck to others waiting for their new RVs.

Theresa I was wondering about mor/ryde hitch. A neighbor is looking t replacing his tri glide with a gooseneck and is going to give me first shot but I will see how the mor/ryde does first. We too are getting the max Lino as we tailgate a lot and have two doxies so thought it would be easier to keep clean. As far as flair air sofa bed were told it is no longer offered due to too many problems with it. Next weekend can't get here soon enough. Lol

So far we like the moving island for the reasons that we liked it at the start. However, we noted today that there is some friction with the vinyl when rolling it. We're worried that this may be an issue. (Also we noted that the vinyl has a slit in it - we're hoping Heartland can fix this at the rally...vinyl can stretch and it especially stretches when the island is rolled on it - the slit is right in front of one of the recliners...)

The interior looks just like my 2013 3251. I know you'll enjoy it:) You'll have to say how you like the rolling island after 2 or 3 trips.

We've had a couple of warranty issues - one that is particularly funny is that the plexiglass slider on the screen door is missing. We totally missed this and apparently so did everyone else. We stopped at a rest area on our way home from the dealer and couldn't find it and realized it was missing (very funny moment as we were very tired and we just kept looking at the hole in the screen door where it should be - we kept trying to pull something from that area and it was for naught). All we can think of is that it was so cold during the time it was at the dealer that they missed it. But we don't see how the factory did... Heartland is sending us the part.

Also, the TV was placed too high on the TV mount so it rubbed on the wood when the TV was flipped up. The dealer moved it down but it was crooked (not a whole lot but enough to be bothersome). We also noted that the TV was slanted forward. Joe fixed the mount and added a spacer so that the TV is no longer slanted.

When we performed our original inspection we noted that the toilet was loose and made noise if you sat on it. The dealer tightened it but when we checked it again it still made noise - turns out the porcelain was cracked. The dealer replaced the toilet but after we got it home it began to leak. Turns out the dealer did not put in a seal when the toilet was replaced - thank goodness we had one from an earlier RV toilet adventure.

They did some really nice upgrades aside from the missing plexiglass (bit of chuckle on that one), wish we could have had options from the factory but ours was already at a dealer. It also looks like they took decorating ideas from folks here though it really makes things look and function so much nicer.

Aside from the smaller warranty issues with your dealer it looks like the best way to kick off summer ☼
