Started Day w/ 25FC, ended with 27EB

So this morning I left Homestead Florida at 3:30 am with my 2011 FC 25 FB twin in tow to trade in and pick up my just arrived 2015 Eddie Bauer 27 FB special order twin configuration, with dual AC, 50A and full awning package. I can't say enough good things about the guys at JD Sanders, but I will summarize in a separate post. Right now I'm camped at Travelers Campground not far from Sanders, heading back to Homestead in the morning.

That's a beautiful Airstream. We would love to see some more pictures.

How does it feel going to a 27? I've been wanting a 25 but found a great deal on a 27. Trying to decide if 2' more is too much. Pulling with a 1/2 ton 2014 Chevrolet.

Congrats, on your new EB!!!
We love ours. We pull it with a 1500 Surburban for now. Planning on getting a 2500 disel GMC just prior to retiring. It is very nicely set up for a couple. But we throw a couple of kids or grandkids in at times.

Here's the one image I have right now of one of the EB twin beds. It came with pillow top mattresses, which I was not expecting. 😊Joe

Twins were a special order on the EB, with a $2500 up charge. We bit the bullet because twins suit our use best, and we really wanted the EB hatch. Joe

I am not sure. There was a couple touring it right after they swapped out my hitch, but it was still on the lot the next day. Best, Joe

Patrick at Colonial after the dealer meeting said the EB series will be discontinued during the 2016 model year. I wonder if the got the ducted HVAC system like the other models for 2015?

Yes this is the last year and they do have the ducted AC and vent covers. The main change between the 15 and 16 EB models is the change from sunbrella upholstery to black ultra leather. We chose the former.
Best,
Joe

Looks like the QX 56 (8?) is doing the job nicely.
