Looks just like mine - 2010 16 Sport. It's like that room in Harry Potter, that is bigger once you get in.

The maiden voyage will be to Eisenhower State Park in Kansas. We'll post some inside pics in our trip report. So far, though, we really like this trailer. As others have said, it is much bigger than it appears from the outside and seems very well made. Thanks for all the great comments!

We are just comming back from a week in Colorado. The Bambi was perfect! Easy to tow and live in. With my new Yamaha es2400 we could back it in anywhere. They are great units! Did you get yours in St Louis? Let us know how your trip went. It's nice to see others in the KC area.

Alright, folks, just got back from a weekend at Eisenhower State Park in Kansas. A nice little park on the Melvern Lake. The AS worked out great for us will no real problems to speak of. The only issue seems to be the fan that vents the refrigerator seems to run constantly even when the refrigerator has been off for hours. It has been very hot here recently, so perhaps that's part of the problem. Something to monitor at any rate. Anyway, more pics are attached.

Looks great! It was a hot one and the fan does run forever when it's that hot out! There are some recent posts on people switching out the fan for quieter ones. Mine doesn't bother me bit when it's hot it runs all the time. Enjoy your new TT!

Mine only runs when I turn on the toggle switch. Does yours have one that is hiding?

if I switch the disconnect, it will turn off (no power feeding the fan). But as soon as I turn it back on, the thing is running, even though the refrigerator isn't. It has been pretty hot here. The only think I can think is that the cooling fins are too hot just being outside that the thermo sensor kicks the fan on anyway.

No it has the switch by the door but it's always running. We turn it off when we go to bed. I'm thinking we will buy a quieter fan.

I'm not sure the 16' Bambi frig fans are set up the same way as the 19's... The 19' frig fan has a switch to turn it on or off (by the door)...I'm not sure about that for the 16's since they have a smaller frig under the counter... Someone with a 16' needs to chime in to find out if there's a switch or not... I'm not familiar enough with 16' Sports to know for sure. On some refrigerators there's no option to disengage the fan.
BTW, in our climate the fan pretty much runs all the time unless we turn it off. The original fan got noisier and noisier...the fan bearings went out and we had it replaced under warranty once and it didn't really improve...eventually we ended up having it replaced. Much better.
