A little teed off !

We picked up our new 31 RE in early sept. The one thing that i really wanted was 16 inch wheels and E-rated tires but was told that those were only available on the Patriot editions. I even called the factory and was told the same. We really loved the floorplan of the 31 RE so we bought it. Well we have had this 5er about a month now and today i took it back to our dealer  (Dolney RV Sales) today for some minor issues and to my surprise they had a new 31 RE sitting on their lot and guess what? 16 inch wells and E-Rated tires. I am going to call the factory monday to see if they can do anything for me. I will even pay the difference in price and drive to Topeka Ind. to get these changed if they will do that for me. One other thing, Shouldn't there be padding under the carpet in the bedroom area. Even our less expensive Fagstaff 5er had this. By the way we love this unit and it tows wonderful. Craig

The padding is minimal, it's a 1/2" foam pad on the base.  On the side of my bed there is NO padding. Doesn't bother me as I spend about 1 minute a day stepping in that area.

FYI, spoke to the Cruiser brand rep @ factory CF31RE available in Patriot/Provincal Package.

It shouldn't take a long time to figure this out and this is one complaint I have about Crossroads communications. I ordered a 2009 and it had a page of different changes compared to the 2009 I saw on the dealer's lot. The dealer didn't know of the changes and neither did I until I saw one on RVWholesalers that looked a lot different then the unit I ordered. All the changes were kosher with me so I didn't mind the upgrades.

I talked to Rudy at Crossroads about my situation and he said that they had changed to 16 inch wheels 2 weeks after we had ordered ours. He was very nice to talk to and he told me that  he would see what he could do. He took my phone # and said he would get back to me so I am waiting to here from him. I will keep everyone posted. Craig
