I have the 28AKLG and I highly recommend Esclipse as a solid company, great customer service, and a great product at the price point when you compare it to the competition (IMO).
I would suggest getting the slide out option; it really opens up the living area, and when the couch is converted into a bed, you can still easily get to the back bunk. Also, the floor of the slide out pulls up when in, and we are able to get (4) Honda 250 ATV in the trailer.
I have had a few issues with the coach, but the factory fixed them while I waited. They are one of the few manufactures that actually has a repair shop and will do custom work. They take pride in their workmanship and bend over backwards to make you happy. A class outfit all the way around.

Completely agree on the customer service and repairs !!
I couldn't fit my toy in with the slideout but that would have been a nice addition if it would have been possible.

I will be picking mine up monday. Is there any problem areas to look for. How should I go about checking it over? I have seen some of these checklists and in Phoenix 110 heat, I can tell you I cant spend 5 hours inspecting. Any go to areas to look at?

You don't need 5 hours to go through this trailer, but I would plan on spending 2. Have them show you how to operate everything and ensure that it all works properly. Get on your swimsuit and get in the shower and spray water everywhere in there for five minutes. Look for leaks around the base of the shower and underneath the rig. Open and close all keyed compartments several times and no, they won't work any better with use. Just realize it is easier to fix now than later.

Run that generator and air conditioner.... keep it cool while you are looking it over on the inside.
On mine -
Shower leaked at the faucet
Shower leaked at the bottom left corner
Black tank flush didn't have the hose clamps tightened
Bathroom fan switch didn't work
Strap holding the sliding door open was pulled out
Hole in the back of the couch
Water heater burner was bent and misaligned
Fuel station box was hanging due to broken screws
Wrong VIN stamped on the trailer
.... keep in mind mine was bought at a show so it had people walking through it.... and everything was fixed after I pointed it all out. My local dealer did not check everything over as they had promised.
You gotta check it out and do your own inspection. The plus side, for me, is Eclipse/Attitude is close and they have always taken great care of me.

I bought a Attitude also and found everything to be in working order. Just some fit and finish items with wood in the bathroom and graphics on the outside coming off.

We did the same thing. Costco matress topper/pad made a huge difference.

I am looking at the Standard items that come with the Attitude, It says pillow top mattress is standard. Mine is not. It feels more like sleeping on a box spring. Maybe I will call my dealer on it
