Where is the ZF-250BH FW in 2014?

Hi,

I've bought a new ZF-250BH FW last summer. It was a 2014 model as per the dealer. In fact, my unit look exactly like the new Rezerve line CR has created for 2014, except the word "Rezerve" on the front cap(on my unit, it's CR). My question is, when I'm looking to the CR floorplans in the 2014 documentation CR offerred, my unit is not there so, is it the end of 250BH FW model ?

Thanks!

It seems that the new management team is in the process of updating a lot of the product lines. Floor plans are also missing from other models. From what I have read elsewhere, Crossroads is planning a bunch of announcements at the National dealer show in Louisville, Ky the first week in December. Maybe after that they will finish updating the web site.

Thanks for the information, it make sense. It would have been maybe a good idea in that case from CR to write a kind of "stay tune, more to come" mention somewhere in their littérature

On the other hand, they probably want to keep their competitors "in the fog" as long as possible....that's ok. I'm gonna take a deeper look on their website mid-december then.

You and I are the lucky ones to own the Zingers without the reserve logo, I think they added the name to set it apart from the standard Zinger line. All the upgrades are standard in the Reserve, do you have solid surface counter tops and a stainless steel sink?

Sking, our Zinger has solid surface and stainless steel. We also have all of these options:

Bi-fold range cover, 15,000 BTU A/C, Electric Awning, Rear ladder, Carpet in bedroom, Tri-fold Hide-A-Bed sofa (IPO sleeper sofa), Bumper Mount Grill, Spare Tire and Carrier

Our dealer does not order the TV either. IMHO, I think he should order the mount, etc. And the bed mattress should have been upgraded as the one we have is awful and is being replaced. Having now said that, most of the mattresses are bad.

So, maybe we have a 2013 Rezerve before it was the thing. Just saying.

When we were at the factory in late July, no mention of Rezerve.

More upgrades from what I understand with several more upgrades, awning lights, aluminum wheels, wired for second A/C, fiberglass exterior and a few other things.

No solid surface counter tops or stainless steel sink for me. I think these options were available but were less important for us. A large fridge and a bike hitch were more important. And considering I have a Weber Q200 portable grill, the bumper grill was not important either

Other Options I have are: ladder, electric awning with led lights stripe, TV antenna, big A/C, IPO sofa etc.

Finally, I would like to agree with Boderrving, the master mattress is really awful! We're gonna look for something to put over it, to add some comfort, but I'm afraid that the real solution is simply to change it.

Batstat, if you have the courage, unzip the mattress and look at what is in it. Yes, mine has a zipper on one side that I thought quite strange. In any event, it has nothing more than 3 sheets of polyester filling and no foam or anything else.

Batstat we bought a 2" foam topper at Walmart and that made it tolerable. 3 or 4 inch topper would be even better.

I found a queen memory foam mattress in a box on clearance at Wal-Mart for less than $200, it's been in two of my TTs now.

Happy to know that I was not crazy, my 2 months old mattress was not comfortable..and it seems that it's a standard feature as per your answers

I'm gonna try those foam toppers before heading for a more pricey option then, Thanks for ideas!

Bad mattress can be improved by 4" memory foam available at walmart but they seem to be out of stock. Available in other sizes that might make the different singles easier to match, or alter and it is close enough to same RV size to not need alterations to use. I also found that a local furniture store had a clearence on a replacement hide-a-bed lazy boy queen mattress that was exactly the same short rv-size queen replacement.

I purchased an 8" memory foam Queen mattress from Aldi's for under 200.00. It was well worth the money and does not interfere with the fireplace rotating into the bedroom like a mattress topper would
