Arriving at Peak Mountain Camps and greeting the Wheeler family and Peak Mountain Camps crew
hey this is one of my favorite features of the peak mountain camps this is a
call to Dutch door so it opens on the top stays closed on the bottom nice
heavy-duty door sealed here on the ball on the side sealed in the in the center
so you won't get water blowing in you will notice the powder coated steel all
around the top and also running lights the very top of the camp we didn't have
that on camp 216 that's gonna be on the new camps that's a nice big feature
everything on these camps has been pretty much redesigned from the ground
up the frames are different the frames with the company that we worked for
before we had some problems with frames so we redesigned the tongues these times
will not break they're they're a good time good solid time I'm gonna tell you
this folding step is it's heavy it's very substantial the one we had on 216
was pretty substantial this is significantly increased the other nice
thing is they've taken into account them with a heavy camp like this most most
owners are gonna want to use a weight distribution sway control hitch and
they've allowed right here room for that sway bar to go without interfering with
this step if someone wants to look at your camp are you are on the road and
you're hooked up you can fold this step down and not hop in torsion bar off so
you can get up and look inside this is significantly different this beam here
is heavier and there's a beam that runs down the center down the full
all the way to the back so this is a much more substantial frame you've got
the ability to adjust the height of your tongue and even this this is a small
detail but this is a solid court it's not cables covered in plastic tubing
this is a solid piece of equipment that gives quality the camp's that we have
been doing for for quite a while we had just used the expanded mantle and after
time that expanded mantle of starts a little bit so we changed some decking on
them we've got a couple of different options we can do if we can do this
purple great decking or we can also be the square great but it cleans out a lot
better holds up a lot better it's a lot more substantial than the camps that
we've built previously also we can make an option where that we could actually
put a a box like this that you can store your blocks and stuff whether you could
lift one of these out and shove you box or your blocks it underneath the new
your black handle top pick this one up and now I've got a spot that I can put
my blocks a little bits of equipment them out of the way they're safe going
down the road I'm gonna be wanting to talk to you about that you know it's
just using space again and that's one thing that we pride ourselves on is the
use of space in these trailers they're well thought out well
and the use of space in them great you're not gonna find it in any other RV
here's an example of the upgrade here this door reminds me of the hatchway on
a ship in the Navy it's curved you've got a bulb seal here and then there's a
seal on the door here so when you close this door
this is sealed all the way around this is not gonna leak and what I like here
is there's a space right here so any water that gets in here it's not gonna
go in here it's gonna sit here and come out so we redesigned these also double
seals on them so they won't leak nice tight there's still a solid door but
they feel much better and then you've got the two locks on the dump on the big
doors and the single lock on the small door this is kind of cool over on this
side the spare tire is tucked up out of the way but getting access to this tire
if you ever need it it's gonna be very easy because there's a little rod that
comes out here and this is just like sort of the tire retention system on big
red he's tucked up out of the way with this cable and all you do is roll this
with the handle and it will lower the tire down or tuck it up right in a nice
snug spot up out of the way the ceilings and the roofs been redesigned now it's
not only got a ridge beam but it's got a main beam running also that that gives
it a lot more strain some things that I noticed that are different right away
just walking in the shop the camps that we're looking at now are wider the
wheelbase of the suspension is wider and I just have a sense they're gonna
attract nicer on the road they're also taller and of course I'm short but when
I'm standing in the camp I can barely touch the ceiling so you get this real
sense of roominess which we always had in our camp to start with because of the
open floor plan but you really feels even more roomy now because
I'm so tall I'm pretty excited about the fact that we've just bought our second
camp everything just is upgraded just the whole level of the quality is I
think increased and it really reflects great craftsmanship we appreciate that a
lot of the changes have come because of you guys I mean we listen to our
customers we want to know what what works and what doesn't work
