After lots of leakage problems (and other problems!) with our Starcraft, we've just purchased a 2007 33' Rockwood 8315SS which looks great! It's an ultra-lite weighing dry around 6100 lbs. We're using a Dodge Ram 1500, towing package, 3:90 rear ratio and it pulls it just fine. The 2007 units are the first one's Forest River has given the option of atrium windows for the slide-out (for TT's that is) and they look great! The additional natural light really helps. You do lose though the overhead cabinet space because of that. We went with the blue slate decor, off-white cabinetry with charcoal counter-tops and also opted for the dinette with 4 chairs - not to mention minimum carpet and for me I HAD to have outside spkrs. It also came with XM Satellite radio which I have so all I had to do is use my radio. Forest River also upgraded the entertainment center with a flat screen "tv" (it's actually just a monitor) which allows the entertainment center to be more condensed and allows for additional storage space around it. We love this one for the front corner kitchen and the spacious bathroom. Of all the units we looked at, having this front corner kitchen with tons of cabinetry and counter-space was the big selling point. Congrats on everyone elses new rigs!
