This is one of the Fleetwood Highlander series of campers.  Camper is a highwall.  Counters and cabinets stay in place when popped down.  Nothing folds over.  It has the hardwall shower with flush toilet.  20 gal. fresh tank, 20 gal. gray tank, 9 gallon black tank.  AM/FM/CD with inside and outside speakers.  Power lift.  Backsaver braces for bunk ends.  12' box.  King beds on both ends. Furnace.  3 way 4.2 cu. ft. refrigerator.  Probably missing other amenities.  Pics can be found here: http://family.webshots.com/album/570972812XmvfEj.  This camper is in excellent condition.  We will entertain all serious offers.  PM me with questions.

Curious, what do the backsaver braces do. (might be a dumb?)

Hello all-  I've listed our camper at http://www.rvt.com/rvdetail4364103.htm.  Pics and information available there.  Thanks.

Just read this message today.  Sorry for the delay.  The backsaver braces are set up so you only have to lift on a corner of the bunk end and the brace underneath snaps into place.  You don't have to crawl under the bunk end, raise it with your back and manually put the brace in place.

Dave - did you ever sell your camper?  Just curious.  We are thinking about moving to a high wall.

It's still for sale.  We just got back from our Yellowstone/Grand Teton National Park/Cody, WY/ Devil's Tower/Mt. Rushmore/Badlands National Park/Cleveland Rock and Roll Hall of Fame trip.  We were supposed to take the pup, but we took the TT instead.  We have it very well set up for dry camping and didn't want to try to convert the pup by tearing apart the TT and moving/re-installing all that in the pup.  18 of our 26 nights away were dry camping.  

I read your other post asking about set up.  I would think the set up time with a high wall would be quicker, but probably not significantly so.  It certainly is easier than what we were able to do with the Yuma we used to own.  It has a power lift, making things easier there.  The backsaver braces are easier, certainly.  The biggest difference would be in what's in it.  This pup has much of what we have in the TT but in a lighter, easier to tow package.  

Hope this helps.

In the 2007 brochure there isn't a Saratoga listed. The RV Trader description indicates it's a 12 foot box. All of the Highlander models are 14 foot box in the 2007 brochure.

Is there another model not in the brochure?

Thanks

For the specifications and details for the Saratoga, check the 2008 Coleman brochure.
May have been an end of model year 2007 issue.
It is a 12' box FYI.

 BTW: The sticker on the side of the PU for sale shows the manufacture date 01-2007.
 My 2001 Mesa shows a manufacture date of 09-2000, so I believe there are at least two manufacture release dates printed on the labels. JMHO

It does get confusing.  It is a 2007, but doesn't show up in most places.  I think it was introduced in the middle of the model year.  I suspect it replaced the Sequoia.  At least, the Sequoia doesn't appear in the 2008 floorplans.  

It is a 12' box.
