 we were going back and forth with all different kinds models in the KZ line (Connect Lite) We finally made the decision when we found one (Connect 201 RB) in Paducah Kentucky. It was at a fantastic dealer. We had many phone conversations with them, and they were really great to work with. We went from St. Paul Minnesota to Paducah Kentucky to pick it up late last fall. When we got there, they set it up in the campgrounds for us and we tried everything. Then we made a list of what was needed to be taken care of. The next day they took the trailer back and took care of everything including putting the extras on it that we wanted to purchase with it. The dealer even Re-winterized everything. Then we traveled back to St. Paul Minnesota, and put it in storage, put a cover on it. And like all Minnesotans we are waiting for spring !!! We added a slide-out cover and a Smart Plug. We had every option we can get with it including all three of the packages that KZ offers. The only thing we don't have is rooftop Solar. But we have a Zamp 140W portable Solar. And we have a Champion 3400W generator. The dealer was a breath of fresh air to work with after the ordeal we had with the others. We're looking forward to enjoying our camper and the memories we can make. Matter of fact, there are a lot of people that have helped us with making the decision off of this KZ forum. We just purchased the best soft start for the air conditioner ( a company in Pennsylvania ). I will have to set up my hitch different. It was set up for the other trailer. I'll do that in the spring. I'd like to thank all the people that PM me and gave me advice. It was well appreciated, and a big part in my decision. Thanks everyone |

Thanks everyone !!!
Some of the things that we noticed when we Camp one day/night with it. The water pressure pump leaked. It was a clamp that was not quite tight on one of the hoses. I could have fixed it but I couldn't find where the leak was coming from. So they took care of that. One other thing was they might've gotten too much in a hurry at the factory and didn't line up the caps that go over-the-top of the dinette seating area. They did a good job on it, you can't even tell. And then the slide out didn't come in quite evenly it was about three quarters of an inch off on one side, and these guys were fussy they worked on that until it was right. And then I wanted a slide out cover on the slide out. When they took the camper back they've fixed me up with one. And then you know how you walk around an RV toy store ! Yeah they got me on that one, I had them put in a smart plug. I just don't like those plastic rings that you spin on with plastic threads and have troubles with. I know that some guys have said WD-40 takes care of that, but I had him put a smart plug on. It's also suppose to regulate the temperature somewhat of the electricity that comes to the camper. With all the options we got with this camper there's not too much you can purchase to put more on.
But, leave it to me I'll find some. Likes a TV antenna, I plan on changing that so that I can turn it towards the channel I want to watch. But were more of a DVD people. And I want to get some leveling blocks, I've made my own in the past. The one's they have out now seem like they are pretty handy and pretty versatile. I'll be making some shelves and drawer dividers. And of course if you going to the shower, I want to get the shower head that creates a little more pressure. You see ! a guys never satisfied ! The first thing that I'll be doing is making a better storage space under the bed. I don't care for that shoe storage on each side. I don't wear that many shoes ! And I will extend the bed so it is a full size queen.
I also saw an idea for a a bench the end of the bed, I don't know if it was on the site or another site but it was pretty cool and it folded out of the way at the end of the bed underneath. He made it for watching TV. I have to evaluate whether I'm going to do too much of that. There is one option that didn't come with this camper, a roof ladder. I think I'm going to get one of those fold up ones at a lumber yard. Rather than go through the hassle of drilling through the wall and voiding the warranty ! Yikes ! So it looks like I got a little bit of an adventure in changing stuff and enjoying the things that are already there. If you have any advice I sure would appreciate it, especially on the full timing. Were going to be as they say "Rookie RVer's"
Thanks again
