My father came and stayed in the Premier with us last night and slept on the air bed sofa. It was our first time using it and I was pleasantly surprised to find the built-in AC operated motor. It made inflating and deflating very easy and fast. Before that, I only noticed the battery operated pump they included. My father said the matress was very comfortable and much better quality than other air matresses he's used. We decided to keep the matress strapped to the frame rather than put it back in the bag when we folded the sofa. I'm really happy with the design!

Our 2-week spring break is over today and we're headed home this afternoon. We'll be heading out again Easter weekend.

On a side note, the weather this weekend hasn't been as good as last week and there's been lots of rain and wind. Instead of tilting the awning and bringing it in during big gusts, I left it out and fully deployed the whole time. When the wind caught the awning, it would fold back and release the pressure. A little worrisome when you see it for the first time, but reassuring once you realize that the awning is safe in the wind. It makes sleeping at night more comfortable and everything under the awning dry.

Thanks for the info on the awning. I was really wondering on how this design was going to handle winds...

I too was impressed with the air mattress when I did my first walk through. Glad it's comfortable. Did you guys get the grill option? ( I didnt know their was one until Garysol confirmed it. Wonder how much it is to add on and is it really worth it? Also for those who have the comfort package and want the traditional dinette table, the good news you can order it from the dealer. I haven't ordered mine yet as I haven't priced it out.

Let us know after you price it out. Wife and tried and tried to figure out a way to make the Table not lean to the inside of the trailer with out much luck. We need to add at least 1inch to the inside feet to make up the height difference between the slide floor and the main floor.

Dang it, my wife said I was doing something wrong, now I have to admit it to her. The A/C fan was running the whole weekend, and she said I had it set up wrong, now I know that I did.

I brought some larger diameter adjustable feet with a longer threaded rod and I was able to add a full inch to the height of the table, more stable too now. The only thing is the thread ia larger than the existing one but a simple drill out and tap to the right size and you are in business. I did the whole job in less than half an hour.

I am going to mod mine a little differently. I just left Lowes with the following supplies....
5/16 x 18 all thread
5/16 hex nuts
4 coupling nuts 5/16
My plan is to simply unscrew the original feet out of the dinette. The thread is 5/16. I am going to cut the all thread to desired length and then thread that into the dinette base. Then I'll thread the sleeve onto the threaded rod and then the original feet into the sleeve. Pictures to follow

Dinette mod. This will raise the dinette a good 2 inches and will also provide more adjustability so that I can lower the inside feet more to help compensate for the slide floor height difference.

Here is how the original feet are threaded into the dinette base

The all thread threaded down into the dinette with a lock nut and washer and the sleeve threaded onto the top.
