2012 Model Year Changes?

[crisen]

We are getting more serious about finding "our" AS and have located a 2012 Eddie Bauer at a dealer that we think fits our needs. However I was recently told by another dealer that there were several 2012 model year changes to "correct problems" but he didn't have many details. Mostly what he mentioned were changes to features/equipment not manufacturing issues.

Is anyone aware of what these items might be?

Thanks,

Rick

I believe there are minor adjustments. The exterior light is now LED, the grate on the stovetop is a bit different, some have mentioned that the mattress on the late 2012's now feature a pillowtop like the 2013 models and some 2012 owners have reported that they got the propane feature at the front of the trailer where you can hook up a exterior gas grill. Not sure about the accuracy of any of this, just throwing it out there.

All I've heard is that the changes are very minor. My 2012 trailer didn't have a pillowtop mattress and it was manufactured in September 2011.

My sales rep mentioned the 2012 1/2 Eddie Bauer has HDMI cables to the TV's as well as BlueRay. Think he mentioned dimmer switch to some lights were also a change.

My 2012 Intl has HDMI cables to both TV's. System works very well, though I may do a speaker upgrade, and install a switch to turn off the subwoofer....it's a phantom battery drainer.

Looks like the rear hatch cartridge on the Eddie Bauer's went from 125 lbs to 150 lbs pressure charge. Mine has the 125 on it even though its VIN is over 100 after the VIN number mentioned in the parts manual.
