I stand corrected.
It just FEELs like it is 10 feet wide.

The factory is treating it like a new rig as far as warranty and title are considered. They did discount it for the miles on the rig. The way I look at it is that the factory drove it as a demo so they did the "shake down" of the rig and fixed all the little stuff that happens with anything with this many parts assembled by humans. We negotiated some changes and additions in addition to the price adjustment like an upgraded hitch and additional awning and a couple of other things.
Audreyh1,
No slides....Dodgen Industries will not make a rig with slides and they are much like Lazydaze with their reasoning....safety, noise, leaks, mechanical complexity, weight...but mostly safety since no one has ever died in a Born Free accident. We are OK with the smaller living space since we don't have to worry about not having enough space if we were somewhere where slides could not be deployed. The living space is also wider when in-motion because it does not have slides.
We have the Kodiac C5500 Chassis with a gas Vortac 8L engine. I will be putting a Banks Power Pack on it next spring to boost the performance in mountain driving.
