I snooped around and the only other pics I found where on Fleetwoods site, so I thought I share these. I have had it out 3 times so far, and all I can say is WOW.

Anyway... Thanks for a great group

Welcome!  Looks like the Evolution matches your H3 perfectly.  Are the colors as identical as they look in the picture?  Also, I've wondered how the H3's do for towing.  They have the I-5 engine that GM puts in the Chevy Colorado/GMC Canyon, right?

Well..... So far the 3.7 liter I5 does well. It is a bit challenged in the mountains on grades above 7%, but that is a bit expected. It really is not made to tow much (4900#) but it has gobs of torque.
Last time out up cabbage hill,(I84 east of Pendleton) 45 mph was about it. This grade avgs 6% and peaks at 8%for a bit. Length of grade is around 7  to 10 miles. I can live with that. If you want horsepower.... Get the H2, 400+ horses and the gas mileage to go with it.
The H3 so far has gotten 18 to 20 mph not towing on the hwy and 14 to 16 towing.
As far as the color
