We had a
2005 Aerolite hybrid that we bought new in June of 05' and used it 380 nights over 7 seasons. It held up very well over those 7 years. So when the new Aerolite 232E floorplan came out for the 12' model year we started looking and thinking.
Aerolite only offered that floorplan for 12' & 13'. Seems they are trying to lower the price point on the few hybrid models they offer and are going to shorter and non-slide floorplans.
We had ordered a 2012 in Feb of 12' with a 6 week build date. But they must have finished building the 2012's at which we received a 2013...No problem with that. When asked, the dealer said when they run out of allotment of 2012 frames and get into the next batch which are stamped for the 2013's, that's what you get....
The 2005 was 24' and 3800 dry the new one is 25' and 4200 dry. The big difference is the 13' is 7" taller, thus I lost about 1.5 mpg towing...
