Trynforpar Report post Posted September 13, 2015 After 35 years of camping in tents, pop-ups, travel trailers and 5th wheels, we finally purchased a 2016 Itasca Meridian 40R for our vacation home on wheels and couldn't be happier. Getting ready to retire and see this beautiful country. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chp007kd40 Report post Posted September 23, 2015 What a great looking set-up. We think our Itasca is great (2005 40kd) but now it is being hauled off to Freightliner, Redding, Ca because when Camping World touched it, things went terribly bad. Today we are having it tested to find out why the trip meter reads 13 million miles and the odometer reads three different mileages. $3055.00 dollars on a/c repairs and it went out on the way home (8 miles). Five other issues and a missed 5 week trip. David Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

manholt Report post Posted September 23, 2015 trynforpar ultraglide is right! I suggest that you read the post by chp007 under class A motorhomes! After that, if your in doubt, send him a PM. I will have no dealings with the "Lebanon boy Marcus Lamonis," the owner of CW, now or in the future! Carl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RustyHog Report post Posted December 29, 2015 Hey there Trynforpar, nice looking set up -- we have a Itasca Ellipse 42 QD -- year 2011 -- and love it -- have lived in it the last 4 years down in Fl. We also tow a Jeep Grand Cherokee. Coach has 26,000 miles on it and everything works except we have had a few problems with the Ideal Rest bed. Think Winnebago could of done better with supplying a -- Sleep Number Bed instead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Getting ready to retire and see this beautiful country. Now that you have had your Meridian 40R for almost a year, how is it working out? My wife and I were looking at the Tiffin Phaeton but ran into the Journey 40R at the same dealer. We love the layout and now looking around the country to find one with the colors we like. (Either Journey or Meridian) Any feedback would be helpful. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
