Love these happy reports! My Freedom Elite 26HE is just as much fun and also a joy to drive. I did put a Safe T plus on it right after I got it - mostly on the strength of recommendations on this and other forums. Truly I don’t know if it was really necessary or not. In any event it was a joy to drive even on bad roads with an 80 mph speed limit and wind advisories (with “gusts to 50mph!) in New Mexico. Don’t be surprised if you have more than a few adjustments and small repairs but don’t let them dampen your enthusiasm. Enjoy your travels!

It does have the backup camera though.
Would love to hear from other Freedom Elite owners.
If anyone has had an after market camera installed, please post your experience with it. Thanks!!!!
Congrats on the rig! Hopefully you have very few bugs to fix. As for the mirror cameras, I really don't use mine. They are darker than the rear view camera, so it makes them hard to use at a glance. The right side mirror does leave a lot to be desired for seeing things. The awning arms are always taking up part of the view. I wish they would extend another inch or two.

The generator hours are entirely plausible, when one is living in the unit and not traveling the country.

As another posted, mirror cameras do require that turn signal be activated and the video quality and motion required to look at the screen are distracting. You’ll get used to the convex mirror, in time.

Congratulations on your purchase.

I truly enjoyed driving it! Has great pickup to pass slower traffic and didn't have that "sway" when trucks passed us. No rattles or squeaks. Just a very quiet comfortable ride. Our past 2 MH's had a lot of engine noice so you really had to speak up to hear each other. But no so with this one. Very easy to carry on a conversation. So glad we decided to get this one. Lots of RV for the price. JUST LOVE IT!!!
We bought a 30FE in May 2017. Had to repair bunk bed railing and left rear wheel well material hanging too low. Been to 2 state parks in GA and 1 in FL. It handled great. Had a great time. Now it’s winterized and waiting to head out on another venture.
