Chad Shepard: Welcome to Pete's RV TV today. I'm Chad Shepard. We got some exciting stuff
going on here today. We have the Cougar product. The number one selling brand in the marketplace
and it has been for over fourteen years. So we're going to see why ... We have Kevin Horoky
from the manufacturer Keystone's number one Cougar rep is going to take us through this
Cougar product and show us why more people choose this brand than any other brand out
there. Kevin Horoky directly from Keystone here to
show us and tell us why the Cougar retains its value better than everybody else and why
it's been the best seller for the last fourteen years.
Welcome Kevin. Kevin Horoky: Hey, thanks Chad appreciate
having me at your dealership. Chad Shepard: You got it. Kevin, we are in
the newest floor plan you have out there. This is ... Can't see it from the video, a
front bed slide in this we're going to show in a few minutes but plenty of room here.
This is a non-bunk. Which model are we in now?
Kevin Horoky: Yeah we're in the Cougar X-Lite Travel Trailer 30RLI.
Chad Shepard: Beautiful in here. Kevin Horoky: It's a rear living with an island
kitchen. Chad Shepard: Okay, tell us construction on
a Cougar a little bit here. We've got the arched interior ceiling.
Kevin Horoky: Yeah. What you have is you have a vaulted ceiling. It's a stamp steel roof
so it's going to create our head room which we have in here. So a taller gentleman like
myself I still can have the headroom. So a typical trailer right now is still a flat
roof. So this will give you that natural runoff and it's a stamp steel construction.
Chad Shepard: Look at all the extra room we got here. We got bigger, taller cabinets cause
that's not ... Guys just so you know it is hotter than a firecracker on the Fourth of
July in here in this video. So I look like I'm baking in here it's because I am. But
we're going to talk about this a little bit more. Beautiful ceiling in here, central air
conditioning, which obviously we don't have on, a central air conditioner ... Tell us
a little bit more ... What's the furniture that we have in here Kevin.
Kevin Horoky: Here the furniture it's a residential furniture. It's Ashley brand furniture. It's
going to give you a tri-fold sleeper sofa in this and then your tri-fold sleeper sofa
is a orthopedic sleep system. So it's going to be cushiony, it's going to give you a residential
feel. Chad Shepard: Don't get tricked into buying
a trailer that's going to jack my sofa guys. This is something that's been upgraded. It's
really, really nice. Probably one of my favorite features is these push back recliners. This
is just like what I have in my home. Kevin Horoky: Yeah, sure it's, it's residential
then you notice too Chad if you get up and pull the chair forward, where you're sitting
at [00:02:00] you'll notice that we do put a outlet in the slide for you.
Chad Shepard: Can you catch that in the video there Josh? So we got outlets in the slide
you know you have to run the extension. Kevin Horoky: You're not running the extension
cord from the kitchen, you know? We thought of everything when we built this for our customers.
Chad Shepard: Yeah, frameless windows. We don't have it here in the video but you can
kind of see them on the back. We got them here on the side. Frameless windows. Little
extra tint in here keeps some of the sun light out. And plus we get the jalousie look on
them. Kevin Horoky: Yeah, the jalousie window and
then the other thing that you have too Chad which are nightshades throughout. What you
have is when those shades are open, I don't know if we can catch that in the video or
not, but you do have cross ventilation through your slide. Which is nice so it's going to
create that flow for you. And then another thing that we have is we insulated our slides.
Chad Shepard: You got it. Maybe you can catch this in the video. Josh, can you scoot down
here a little bit? Guys, it's hard to see it. We can see that silver foil down there.
Kevin, what is that? Kevin Horoky: That's called Astro Foil Insulation.
It's going, it's going to increase your R factor. So here, perfect example like today,
we're burning up in here but if we had the air conditioner running at 72 degrees we want
our slide room to be at 72 degrees. We want control of the hot, cold exchange and not
have that be at 82 degrees. Chad Shepard: You know they got some brands
out there ... Guys, they insulate the slide boxes on these. Would you know the difference
if I didn't tell you? Be careful when you're buying your next RV. Look for things like
that. Kevin Horoky: Next thing we have Chad is our
entertainment package. This gives you a 32 inch LED TV. It gives you a Bluetooth stereo
so you can control everything from your phone when you're outside on the camp ground and
you have your exterior speakers. And then we also added, the 5000 BTU electric fireplace.
Chad Shepard: Yeah, I see you guys use Greystone. One of the leading brands in the RV industry.
Puts out a little heat on those hot or cold days, unlike today, but you don't have to
use your propane all the time. It's really a nice, nice feature. Bigger fridge in here
I've noticed too. Kevin Horoky: Yeah we, we upgraded from the
six cubic foot to now a eight cubic foot refer. With your freezer, which is nice, you can
store more stuff. How you can tell if you ever want to know the difference, on a six
cubic foot you only get three on our eight cubic foot it gives you four.
Chad Shepard: Good point so we got four door caddies and four shelving on the inside. It
gives us that extra storage. A nice, nice upgrade. I really [00:04:00] like this.
Kevin Horoky: Yeah, solid surface counter tops so it gives you the residential look.
You have an under mount stainless steel sink with the high rise faucet. And then you also
have a stainless steel package within your oven and your microwave.
Chad Shepard: High point microwave too I like that feature.
Kevin Horoky: Chad, if you would, open up one of the many bank of drawers that you have
there. Chad Shepard: You got it.
Kevin Horoky: But they're all full extension ball bearing drawer guide. Did you notice
the handle that you have on there? Chad Shepard: Yeah.
Kevin Horoky: That's a five inch residential pole versus competition uses a knob or maybe
three inch. Chad Shepard: Yeah, that's the same one I
have in my house. Very, very similar style to what I have in my house. Tell me, really
quickly what do we have here for lighting Kevin?
Kevin Horoky: Yeah. We have LED lights throughout. The nice thing about our LED lights instead
of being recessed you can actually control Chad, left, right or off.
Chad Shepard: Yup. Kevin Horoky: So, which will help that. And
then you have your feature wall over on this side. Which is nice too if Josh can get the
video of it. You have the charging station that's something that ...
Chad Shepard: Charging station down here. It's hard to catch in the video but we got
a Cougar remote too. Tell me a little bit about this Kevin.
Kevin Horoky: Yeah, the Cougar remote's real nice. It's real handy to set up your camper.
Type in your code, you can control all of your slide outs, you can control your awning,
you can control your scare light, and then the nice thing that you can control is your
power front, rear stabilizer jacks. Chad Shepard: You can do it right from one
stop. Kevin Horoky: Exactly.
Chad Shepard: It makes it really, really handy [crosstalk 00:05:13].
Kevin Horoky: You're not running back and forth into the camper.
Chad Shepard: Okay. I've noticed this has a lot of vinyl flooring, bow flooring to be
exact. Kevin Horoky: Bow floor, Leno, you know it's
a great brand. Keystone uses it throughout. So it gives you two years against cold cracking.
And then if you look at the residential of it it looks awesome.
Chad Shepard: Yeah, I agree. The Cougar obviously has gone through some changes here in the
last twelve months. You guys have done a lot of things right. Registers that are just like
what I have in my home. Kevin Horoky: Yeah, residential heat ducts
versus a plastic heat duct. Chad Shepard: Mm-hmm (affirmative). Speakers
in the ceiling, surround sound effects, a lot of great things. Hardwood kitchen tables,
true dinette so you can go ... Obviously the Keystone has a couple different options. We
can go with a booth dinette that makes into a bed.
Kevin Horoky: You can go with the booth dinette. This one here on this package the 30RLI and
this floor plan we did put in the free standing table and four chairs. But the four chairs
too you do have storage under there. We keep [00:06:00] talking about that letter S as
far as storage, well here we like to think we're best in class in storage.
Chad Shepard: I don't doubt that at all and you can tell guys in non-bunkhouse coaches
the free standing dinette it think has been most popular.
Kevin Horoky: Absolutely, yeah. Chad Shepard: We've got a great bedroom in
this. This is their brand new floor plan we talked about so we're going to cut right here
real quick. We're going to take a quick walk up in that bedroom and show you why this is
probably the nicest half ton towable travel trailer I've ever seen.
I love the front bedroom on this 30RLI Kevin. You guys have done a wonderful job with it.
Tell me some of the features and why people are starting to choose this floor plan.
Kevin Horoky: Well this nice thing is we talk about Cougar and the Ex-Lite series being
half-ton tow-able. Chad Shepard: Yup.
Kevin Horoky: Now, we integrated for couples a bedroom slide. So it's easier for them to
get around and then you know we added you know the nice mattress in here. It's a Cougar
platinum series which is a orthopedic sleep system so we're not changing that. You have
a ton of storage up here and a, and a, and a bed slide coach. I mean look at the storage
that you have here in your wardrobe. You can look at your dresser and it's a sixty inch
dresser. You have full extension ball bearing drawer guides. I mean you have four drawers
that pull out. You have another storage drawer there and then look at the overhead cabinets
that you have in here. Chad Shepard: It's really, really nice. And
those are ... Guys those are solid door wood. That's not paneling that's built into there
like some of the, some of the off brands are using in it. We look up here at the front
bedroom. We've got windows on both sides that open up so we can let ventilation cross [inaudible
00:07:23]. We got a window over here on the other side.
Kevin Horoky: [00:07:25] cabinets. Chad Shepard: Oh yeah you're right.
Kevin Horoky: Over that and then you also ... We left for our couples we left the LCD
for you can mount your bracket TV here or you can just plug it in and set it right here
on this big sixty inch dresser. Chad Shepard: That's really, really nice.
Guys arched ceiling in here it makes it feel huge in here. I mean this is a half ton towable
travel trailer with a ton of space on here. Kevin I want to go talk about some of the
great features on the outside of this. Let's take a walk outside, we'll show why people
... They love the outside as Coach. Let's show them why.
