Stonewall Jackson you sure you don't work for Jim. I own an Open Road 32bunkhouse TT that I bought from Jim. He is a great guy and has always taken care of me. His service is the only reason I am looking at purchasing this large of a camper new. I would normally go used to miss the tax issue, but Jim has been great. Before I spend this level of cash, got to cover the used market, make sure I am not missing out on a deal. But the clock is ticking, so I have got to make my mind up soon. Thanks for your reply and agreed Jim and Brown's is a great way to go.
Be careful out there, Bobby

No I dont work for him. Just telling how our service was. Had it been
a bad experince with Browns or Open Road I'd express that also.
I agree a slightly used one is the way to go if it meets your needs.
BK, i also have a 2007 sierra 375QBQ, and am currently in it full time. lots of room for the kids in the back. i like the floor plan as well. seems to be pretty solidly built as well. shop the price. i got it with 2 a/c's and some other basic bells and whistles, and when it was all said and done i paid 33K for the unit. do a search on the net and get prices then go to the local dealers. i had a sandpiper TT and was satisfied with it, but the sandpiper dealer would not come off the price. an hour and a half drive saved me lots of money. look on the net you can find the 375QBQ for mid 30's. good luck and good camping.

Okay I don't work for Browns in Jonesboro either, but I'm giving him the highest praise. We are on our second Open Road 5ver and the service has been outstanding. We had a few minor issues on both rigs and all of them were taken care of in great manner. We never had to leave our rig with him for minor repairs, always able to pull in get it fixed and pull back out. No matter what time of the year it was.
If you are deciding to go for an Open Road you should go and see Jim Brown and he will treat you right.

BK&Family - I'll go one further...and NO, I don't work for Jim or Brown's Camping...but we not only have bought a couple of units from Jim, but we just bought the 4-slide bunkhouse you're looking at...been on two trips so far and a third four-day trip to Savannah is planned the first weekend in November, another trip in mid-November and then a long trip to Ashville for Thanksgiving...and so far WE LOVE IT!!!!
I have boys ages 6 & 10...plenty of room for them and to take along some friends...and I'm positive the camper will be worth EVERY penny the first time we go out and it rains all weekend long! The kids can't complain with that bunkhouse room - enough space to play and even get a little rough - as boys tend to do!
As a matter of fact on the Savannah trip I'm towing it solo and taking along a Mom and her son from our Adventure Guides troop (YMCA scout program)...so we'll have plenty of room and privacy for everyone!
As for Brown's we bought our first fiver - a Pilgrim from him and couldn't have had a nicer experience - purchase and/or service-wise. Our second unit was an Open Road, but we bought it from a dealer in Michigan because it was "such a good deal"...Brown's agreed to service that unit as a "warranty transfer" and Jim always treated us right even though we didn't buy the fiver from him.
Well 15 months later and by no fault of our own (we were not in any kind of wreck!) that unit had to be totaled due to structural damage that we now believe was the reason we got the "great deal"...
Within two weeks insurance paid off and Jim had us in the Legends...and I researched a TON of bunkhouse floorplans...what sold me?
Quality - yes, there are some similar floorplans, but look at the cabinetry and interior finishing touches and you'll see a big difference
Service - not only has Brown's been an outstanding dealer (and I firmly believe you buy not only a camper but a dealer when you buy one of these things!) but Pilgrim has stood behind their product and bent over backwards to satisfy when things weren't 100% just right.
Reputation - Well, aside from the fact that this is my third Pilgrim unit and I've loved the other two...I've been hard-pressed to find too many people reporting bad experiences with Pilgrim units...yes, a lemon occasionally sqeaks by Quality Control, but I can't say that Pilgrim isn't willing to rectify any problems.
The Legends 37QB4S-5H is a sharp looking camper...and yes, the four slides and length scared us, but so far it's been an excellent purchase for us!
Good luck with your decision...and we'd love to see another Legends on the road soon! Yolanda
We (and insurance co.) don't believe it was manufacturer defect, but accident damage at the dealership in Michigan that they patched and sold without disclosure...but of course proving that is "our word against theirs", so insurance just filed the claim as road wear damage.
To look at the camper you wouldn't think there was anything wrong because we were not in a wreck and the camper shell was unblemished, but literally Jim Brown told us how lucky we were to not have lost an axle on the drive down to his shop (we were actually taking it to him to work on the sagging tank problem when he discovered that the axle was barely hanging on...)He was at a loss for how this damage could have happened without being in a hard hitting side impact wreck!!!
We were very thankful that no one - us or anyone else - was injured as a result of this damage...and thankful that the insurance company paid off enough for us to pay off the balance of our loan, and thankful that Jim had the Legends on the lot when all of this came down - placing an order for one of these units could have taken 6 - 10 weeks for delivery and we would have missed prime fall camping and possibly our Thanksgiving plans, so everything really did work out for us...of course, we're starting from scratch again with a loan, but we could have ended "upside down" on our previous loan and unable to take out a second RV loan (I didn't realize they don't issue multiple RV loans!), so we could have been out of camping for quite some time. All in all a happy ending for us.
