Questions on DS Options

[Tip&Tina]

As a follow up-we went with the full Girard package. After going back to the dealer and seeing a DS with the full package and seeing a slightly older one without, it was clear that there was a difference. DH decided that the full package was the way to go. We put our salesman to the test explaining it and making him understand that the brochure does not explain it well nor does Newmar's website. He finally agreed and went full throttle to show us the difference. We were sold. Thanks for all your help on this critical item!

Good for you. Can you explain the differences as detailed by your sales guy?

He pointed out that the Girard slide toppers were tighter and closer to the slides. Also, if I remember right, they had "sweepers" on them to help clear leaves off when bringing them in. The Carefree was a little looser and hung down when on the slide.

We had those on the Canyon Star. They seemed OK-we had to get on the roof to clear leaves before bringing the slides in though. They hung slack and rain would accumulate and when bringing them in water could gush in the house. Got water dumped on my head a few times as the DH pulled in the driver's side slide and I was sitting in the driver's seat. Learned to keep a towel handy after the rain and we were leaving.
