Not a new thread-just had to share

We are currently on the shakedown trip for our new 2018 International Signature 27 FB. We recently sold our much loved Flying Cloud 23FB. We are loving the new unit. We went up to Blairsville Ga just 1 1/2 hours from home. We cannot believe the difference in space that the 4 feet longer and 6 inches wider trailer affords us. Our dog has a nice place for her bed and we can lounge and cook without banging into each other with every move. We are planning lots of future trips already.

Cindy, enjoy your new trailer. I hope one day to move up to a 26/27 from my 23 in the near future.

Glad to hear you are enjoying your new TT. Extra space is usually a good thing.

We just went from a 19' to a 27'. Actually it was ordered as a 25' but we had the order changed to 27' without losing our place in line. It was a good move.

Cindy,

Congratulations on your upgrade. It sounds nice.

We moved up from a 22' to a 25' International. We love the great space and as much we appreciate the larger fridge (2X), the dry bath, and adding a sofa to our seating. The 22' was really nice but, for us, not equal to the 25.

Enjoy the ride, Living The Dream!

I read all the brochures, saw all the photos, etc. and came to the conclusion that the FC 23 FB would work best for us. Then we went to the local AS dealer and spent time in them, first the 23, then the 25, then the 27, upon which my sweetie said, "This is it!!!" We've now spent 30K miles over two summers with the 27, and if I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't change. The 27, in my opinion, is ideal for a couple (and a large woofer). If we'd wanted twin beds, chances are the 25 would work, but the 25 queen has an East/West layout, which is hard to make, hard at least for one person to get out of next to a wall, and a head-banger for the person under the overhead storage cabinets. The 27's North/South, walk-around queen bed solves all those problems.

My best to you with your new AS. Enjoy!

That's about what we did.
Traded 23' Hi-Lo in for a 2015 25' FC.
Nice trailer, but that 'East-West' bed drove me nuts. so.
I took it back to CanAm, gave it back to them, and took a 2016 30' FC. PERFECT!

Lots of room, comfy, easy to tow with the Ford, just great! Unfortunately.........
Dear Wife has stated that after over ten years of RVing, this is her last year.
(We both have health problems) So unfortunately........
I have to sell it.
DAMN!
