Why don’t Genesis make duel slide bumper pull trailers specifically the 27FS
Not really their market. Genesis sells 3-1 5th wheels to Bumper pulls, or pretty close to that. The Genesis 30CK is the closest thing to a double slide bumper pull.

What is the word on these?

I have a deposit on one that's being built.
Nice looking trailer. I was a bit unhappy with Forest Rivers warranty process. I bought one of their trailers in AZ and brought it to CA. Found issues with it and none of the CA dealers would touch it. Forest River sent new to a third party repair facility that was a complete joke.

Here is a quote from repair facility service writer. “You really want that fixed? RV’s are luxury items they don’t need to be perfect as long as they don’t leak it’s not a big deal”

That was in response to my front cap graphics not lining up and not going to the edge of the panel.

I'm taking the graphics off on the next one, they fade so fast these days. Surprised so many bumper pulls are running 4k genny's and single A/C's. Makes for a swamp cooler in any trailer over 28' box without dual A/C's and above 95 degrees.

That is really weird that the CA dealers wouldnt do anything to help. Warranty work doesn't make boat loads of money but the way I look at it its a way to get customers in the door. I cant tell you how many times a customer from another dealerships trailer has been in from Service and they are so impressed with our Service department that they buy a new trailer, while there trailer is in for service lol

Well I’m on my fourth RV guess what dealer I won’t be buying from? The one that wouldn’t do warranty work. Their loss.

View attachment 816744 Try one of these and fill the tank
Many are getting 30 gal. Instead of listed 50
There is a part # on tank but some tanks had the wrong serial #
Most are grey water tanks

so I filled my grey tank this morning and only got 37 gal until it filled up. I can’t find anything that says this is supposed to have a 50 gal tank but it should right?

Yes
I never saw what year they were (if any) less than 50 gal

FB has eclipse toy haulers group on it and the topic is discussed often
I put eclipse contact at top.
I’ve discussed issues with Dave in their service department and Kevin Flores of eclipse has pointed people in the right direction over there

I pick up my 2017 3222 IBG next week and most likely it has a smaller than listed grey tank

Mine’s coming with a Blue OX.
I’ve always used equalizer and swear by them
The only complaints you hear about equalizers is the noise , which you can control by greasing the bars every trip, every time you put them on.

The Blue Ox is reviewed are same customer rating. I’ll try it once and then either keep or sell it.

Blue Ox works well, but it only comes with the 10k bars.
My conventional hitch trailer is closer to 17k fully loaded with Jeep, so I have 20k bars for my BlueOx.

I will see what it is when I get it
10k is not enough, I’ll go equalizer if that’s the Case
This trailer will be north of 13k when I’m done with it lol

Have shop order the blueox bars for you. You can get 15k or 20k.
They can only give you the 10k bars, anything above that needs to be ordered direct.
