Frequently asked
Does the 2027 Adventurer have bunks?
No, the 86FB is dedicated to the north/south queen layout. For bunks in an Adventurer, look at the bunkhouse 8' floorplans rather than the 86FB.
How many kids fit in the H172BH bunkhouse?
Two kids typically fit the bunk pair. Total sleep of four counts parents plus two kids; the dinette doesn't convert in most H172BH layouts.
Same $40,900 for the 2027 model year?
Per published spec sheets. Model year transitions sometimes carry price bumps; verify with the dealer at the time of purchase.
