Do a very thorough walk through and don't take it off the lot until they fix EVERYTHING.

I would suggest possibly video taping the walk through, especially if you are new to RV's and even if you aren't. I missed the bit on how to winterize my unit, it is different from the others I have owned. Had to research that the first time I got ready to winterize.

Then get out there and enjoy it!

Make sure you goes through everything and if they show you something that you don't understand don't be afraid to ask him over and over.



I think that you will love it, we show do, it's long. What do you have to tow your with?

I have a 2017 kodiak 291RESL tow with a 2014 Nissan Titan V8, no problem
Out once so far Tennessee Smokey mountains. Great area to visit

Since we live in deep south Texas, winterizing is not a problem. 55F is cold for us. LOL

Thank you. I had one put out by Escapees club, but yours is much more detailed. I will use it when we pick up the trailer. This is our 5th unit, so we are pretty much aware of what to look for, but this is the first time we've had a written checklist. Thanks again

Deep South Texas is a good place to haul your RV to.
You don't have to take yours far.

Big1,

It looks like you got your Denali at Baydos, is that right? We're looking at a 2017 289RK from them. How did you like working with them?

They are good people there, I bought it from Dave, he a good guy. The price is reasonable, we had gone to Poulsbo across I-5 and was able to get more trailer at Baydo's than we have gotten to Poulsbo. If you go ask for Dave and that George recommend him, and the customer service is awesome, if you buy from Baydo's all of your service is a 10% off.


I go there there often now just to drink up there coffee😊 but they don't mind it. I look at the one you talking about and if you are thinking about it ask to see if it have the auto leveling, I wish they had that when I bought mines. Good luck.

Sorry, for the late reply but if you haven't figured it out yet the answer the switch need to be on.

Thanks for the feedback, and yes we are looking at the 2017 model with the auto leveling and also the In-Command system that let's you operate the awning, lights etc. and check the status on tanks from an app on your phone.

Thanks again

Awesome, I was there the day that one came in to Baydo's and I really love that one . I just drop mines off at there service to have a observation backup camera install, it will be on all the time so I can always keep an eye on the rear. If you do get it please post some pics?
