on my 37gt I have so many areas that the carpet is short on. It definitely shows employees dont have the care for their work.

Not a TB but our 2018 37LX after all the warranty stuff was fixed is a shining light in the dark world of Motorhomes. Like you we dry camp and it is a dream. Less headaches than a DP with one acceptation and that is the cab noise but I plan on insulating soon to keep the engine noise down. does anyone have a constant noise from their Whirlpool Res Fridges compressor??? it gets louder and lessens as you walk in front of the fridge???

Thanks!
We have a 17 Challenger 37TB and Ez-tow. I use a 6" drop as if I try to use a 8" it drags at the slightest incline. Our EZ-TOW has 10" wheels and I'm thinking of going to the 12" wheels that they use for a couple of years now. Ours was pre-owned 2015 model I believe.

I’ve got a 2016 Challenger 37 LX. No sound from our res whirlpool. Interested in how your going to insulate for engine noise.

I had an expensive Newmar DP. Had 6 years of frustration with it. Never went on a trip when something didn’t work! The only thing that was nice is how quiet it was. Now have a Thor Challenger 37 LX gas. Really like it. Haven’t dry camped yet, how does the auto generator work? What are the best settings?

We also added more battery storage for dry camping.
Hello. I have a 2020 challenger 37fh. I read what you said about the refrigerator using a lot of power. I am a single woman and I know very little about batteries. That being said… would a solar panel help keep the batteries charged? My coach is already prepped for one. Thanks for helping!

I am wondering how many "upgrades" folks have do to the Challenger and whether they would be classed as "needed" or "nice to have" is that sort of information available on this forum?

I have a Challenger 37fh. It has opposing slides in the living area and the bedroom. I have 2 dogs (1 is a large GS ). The space in the living area is amazing! There is a fireplace and the huge tv rises up from behind it. It has a bath and a half. It sleeps 6 but with the floor space I can add an inflatable queen bed. I installed a stackable washer and dryer. I have no complaints or wants. The basements are huge too!! Take a look!
