Our 195 (review so far)

Please keep in mind that reviews tend to point out the things people don't like.  We like the features in the 195 so much, that we traded in our beloved 179 before we even had 25,000 miles on it. 

We picked up our 195 on Monday and spent two nights in northern NM before coming home. This is a 2020 model. It has a window in the front and a built in vacuum system. These are now standard I guess. So here are a few comments on what we have found out so far.

• The dealer demonstrated the A/C. It appears to be much quieter than the one in the 179.

• The space around the bed is adequate but not excessive. It makes it a lot easier to make up the bed.

• The water pump is still mounted under the bed but there is an access panel in the pass through so winterization should be easier.

• However, winterization procedures for the Water Heater are much more complicated. In the 179 the W/H was near the water pump. In the 195 it is under the refrigerator and behind the converter. You need to pull the converter to access the by-pass valves.

• The pantry has fully adjustable shelves and is much deeper. We are talking "STORAGE!"

• Where the 179 had drawers under the wardrobe, the 195 has none. Storage for clothes is either hanging clothes in the wardrobe or under the bed.

• The refrigerator is now either shore power or gas and switches automatically. There is no option to run off the battery. I don't know if I like this. This summer, I had a problem with running the refrigerator on gas. I ran on battery when traveling and stayed a campgrounds with shore power.

• Where the 179 had one largish wardrobe, there are two small wardrobes in the 195.

• The camper is wider but the slide-out is narrower. In the 179 there was under-seat storage on one end of the dinette. In the 195 there is under-seat storage on both ends but there is a gap between the back of the storage and the wall of the camper. And, there is a genuine hole at the back of the under-seat storage. This may be one of the first mods.

• The wife says the bathroom is wonderful.  There is storage under the sink and a real medicine closet, etc.
