Would also be interested in your comments about driving your new Brave, ie. handling, power, MPG, etc.
Thanks in advance

I'm gonna say this....not cause it's mine but cause it is...
the 27b is one of the nicest riding and handling coaches I've owned right out of the box,..
winnabago did a lot of planning building the 27b,, there is a lot more weight on the frontend and it just rides better that way...

I have a bad taste for ford right now that I hope I get over soon ...
I have bought sight un seen , over the phone over 30 motorhomes from mike thompsons... they always have taken care of me..

my newest problem with the brave....the pots and pan drawer comes open
and breaks the sliders.. ball bearings every where...


that and, the power cord won't fit out the hole in the compartment

that's my project for today....

Thanks for your info. When I watched the video on You Tube on the new Brave 27b the show the electrical cord coming out the open door. I wondered at the time if did not have another exit of some kind.
I'd be interested to know/see you solution to this issue.
Thanks again

We absolutely love everything about the 27b (other than the fact that it won't start right now - but I'm sure we are a one in a million thing!)

Great video on the power cord. I'll have to remember to take my saw with me when I take delivery of my new Brave 27B.
I'm sure as soon I do take possession of the coach I will be have more questions and request for videos. Ha.
Thanks, travel safe.

Thanks for positing the video. We have a 26A and getting the cord through the teeth was a challenge. Not sure why Winnie put them there?
