As a few of you know I've been shopping for a toy hauler for a long time. Finally picked one up yesterday. Drove 11 hours round trip to pick it up. Bought from Best RV in Turklock who turned out to be total scum bags. Do not support these dirt bags! Quoted me a price with a 5 year warranty and then when I got there they claimed the warranty was another $2,500 and showed me a number that we never discussed. After we went back and forth for a while they ended up getting me for $1,250 but at least I got the trailer I wanted. It's going to cost those guys a lot more than that in the long run. Several of my friends want TH's and I would have sent them to these guys. I will say that the service guys were cool and the guy that did my PDI/walkthrough with me was very thorough and helpful. Just the salesmen and owner were lame.
I had almost settled for a lesser trailer a couple months back but I'm glad I waited. Did a very thorough walk through of the unit and surprisingly everything worked! Tom Boles PDI checklist came in very handy.
It weighs in at 11,180lbs dry. My 3/4 ton Dodge short bed towed it just fine. I have the B and W turnover ball hitch in my truck so I had them put a goose neck adapter on. When the highway was rough it did jerk the truck around a bit. When it was smooth I hardly noticed it was back there. We'll see how it does when loaded with water, gas, and toys. I'd love to get a dually.
34' Attitude with two slides. I haven't measured it yet but I think it's longer than 34'. I can fit the RZR4 and the RZR170 in it. There were very few trailers that would fit our toys and could still be towed with a 3/4 ton. Planning a trip to Coos Bay in the next few weeks. Can't wait. The kids and wife are stoked.

Wow, nice TH !
I cannot understand how Best RV is still in business.
If you look at their BBB, they have an F- !
They got busted a while back renting out people's RV's who had them their on consignment to sell.
I had an extremely bad experience with them and walked out on the deal. The salesman and his shifty buddies have quite the racket going there.
Did you know DMV has an investigations dept and they LOVE this kind of stuff.
Let's put it this way, I can't even drive down 99 because I would have to drive by that place, they pissed me off that bad.
Sorry to threadjack :-)
Enjoy your new trailer!

Take everything bad you ever heard about sleazy Car or RV Dealers and roll it into a big bundle of Cr@* and you'd hve a pretty good picture on this place! Hard to believe a place like this can even exist anymore in this age of the Internet!

Lowest score I've ever seen with the BBB, Yelp and other review websites send out a clear message of horror stories, and these guys aparently are some of the few humans with absolutely no moral values!

I guess that qualifies them to run for political office?

X4 on Worst RV. The owner is one of the few people I felt I needed a shower after dealing with. Absolute scum. Don't let those hacks touch your trailer if there is an issue contact Eclipse direct. Beautiful trailer, man has Eclipse upped there interior game or what.

Great looking camper!! We have a KZ 33 and use the B&W turn over ball set up too. We love it and have pulled ours all over the USA and in places you really should be pulling one. When a guy pulls up along side of your truck and trailer on an ATV and asks if you are lost you may want to rethink your route!! hehehehe Don't ask me how I know!

It looks like you have the off-set adapter. We use one also just because out son had a short bed Dodge once and that was the only way for him to pull it. We have a long bed and like it because it helps with turning a bit.

Enjoy!!!

Really nice looking rig.

We also purchased our first toy hauler from worst rv. Our microwave caught on fire, our gas leaked, and worst of all they didn't install my brake controller properly which i didn't notice for over 2 years!!!! 2 years of driving without trailer brakes.

NEVER AGAIN.

Nice Rig. I drive by there everyday and have seen it sitting there. Yes this place is definately shady but the problem is where else are you going to go to find a good selection? By the way we looked there several times and the owner is definately the #1 piece of ####!
