Additional comments here please: |

We have been so impressed with the Patriot family since the first time we approached them asking for information. Their attention to detail is reflected in the final product which, in our opinion, is world class.
The usability of the camper would suit anybody who enjoys touring. It is also versatile enough that if wanting to stay for extended periods in one spot, everything that you would need is on board.
We especially like the fact that the awning is permanently attached, is easy to set up and pack away and does not need guy ropes. An on-board gas hot water system is standard fitment. Hot water on demand for showering or washing up.
We don’t use the slide on family room now as both of our kids are in swags which can be carried conveniently on the camper.
