We had our Lance 1161 for about 6 yrs now and finally decided we have outgrown it. We are camping just about every weekend, all year long especially, in the Winter. We also take our 3 furboys. We decided we wanted a 5th wheel. Looked at everything and talked to many owners. Finally decided on the Raven. It fit our budget, offered just about everything we wanted and was close to home. We are looking forward to spending time in our new 2nd home.

I have been spending time reading all the topics here. Its amazing how many ppl are going thru the same. I appreciate everyones opinions and trials and errors. I hope I will be able to contribute some as well.

See ya'll down the road.

Winnabago certainly brought to the table all of their Motorhome experience whrn they took over SunnyBrook RV! It shows in the floor plans and overall interior look of their new 5th wheel RV's. Very nice! Congratulations!

Congratulations Judy to you and your family! You will really enjoy your new second home. So nice to go anywhere you want and take the comforts with you. We too travel with three dogs but they are all girls! The fifth wheel will give you lots of room so you're not stepping all over them.

Congrats on the Raven. They are nice units. It was on my short list when I ordered but did not get it. I could not get the level up system on it so that was the deal breaker for me.

Have fun making memories in it.

I, too, just parted with my beloved Lance 1181 and got the Keystone Challenger with the rear bunkhouse.
While I've yet to make a trip, I'm so looking forward to the new room and experiences. Everyone here has been so tremendously helpful sharing their knowledge and opinions. I think I've got a decent set-up as a result.
Look forward to seeing y'all on the road!
