finally picked up our 2012 starcraft lexion 329bhu. towed home yesterday. dealer did great job setting up new reese dual cam. truck sits perfectly level. TT weighs about 8300# as it sits with full propane and batteries plus options. truck towed it pretty easily. with OD on i was low 2000 rpms @ 60mph at almost 9 mpg. OD off rpms were up ariund 2700 or 2800 @ 60mph and abiut 8.5 mpg. i was expectingg 6-7 mpg and much higher rpms. granted it was a short 20 mile highway drive with slight inclines still very happy with set up. cant wait for first trip.

Congratulations! Sounds like you got the hardest part of buying a new RV right...by getting what appears to be a great dealer that knows what he's doing!

StarCraft is a very old family owned company..building RV's for an astonishing 48 years! That's 2 years longer than old timer Winnebago!

It is now a established division of Jayco, and really build a terrific RV. They are known for easy towing too so you're going to have many happy journeys!

That's a big girl too...9900 lbs and 35' 6" ft!

I love the idea that the kids have their completely seperate living space....you could literally not see them for days! Their own door, living room...terrific!


Good luck!

Nice selection and matching to the TV. Nice to have a competent dealer that knows what they are doing too.

Good luck with the TT. I have a similar Jayco and the dual slide is awesome.
