I've been lurking the forum for quite some time and am looking forward to joining the Heatland club. After going back and forth between ordering the 3010 and the 3612, and the recently released 300C, I think the 300C is going to be a happy medium. My issue is that I can't find much, if any, information on this new trailer. I would love to find some more pics online (dealer, factory, etc) as the new models weren't present at the Pittsburgh RV show last month. I understand production just started on the 1st and can't imagine they'll be on the lots anytime soon, but the sooner the better. I am looking to order soon, would like to be on the road for a few trips this summer/fall.
I'm a little bit concerned about the bedroom layout and how the step-up effects the interiors front end. I'm 6-3, is the front end design going to cause any issues? I don't expect that I'll be hanging out/standing up in the front of the 5er much but I've never seen this layout before so I don't know where the step up starts at. If it's a few feet off the front of the bed, then that seems reasonable to me (as long as I'm not rolling out of bed onto the step up).
Front end storage (basement storage?) - Does it exist? I saw this mentioned by a couple of concerned users here and it seems like a deal breaker for some, meaning this is a highly sought after feature.
The couch - does it still fold out to a bed like the other models? My live-in mother-in-law may be going on some of the trips so I'll need as much sleeping room as possible. Kids (4 ranging from 13 to 1) will be in the garage and the MIL on the couch, it'll be cramped, but it is what it is. I've seen some room extension kits that use the ramp door as a floor so that may be on the "to purchase" list.
Can I assume this model is available in the HD edition as well? I'm set on getting the HD package as it'll match nicely with my TV (which is Ford's sterling gray). Not a fan of the white cabinets but I imagine that's something I can configure when ordering? Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Pricing - MSRP released yet?
For what it's worth, I'm new to 5th wheels and can't wait to get back on the road (no full-timing, just long weekends away from home). I've had travel trailers for 15+ years but this will be my first fifth wheel. I love the floorplan of the 3612 as the loft/garage is ideal for my situation (kids/atv's/motorcycles), but between pulling it with a gasser ('11 F350 CC/LB, SRW, 4.30 gears/Firestone air bags) and the price jump between the 3612 and the 3010, it's just not in the cards.
Thanks in advance!
