Hi folks,
I thought I saw a thread about this somewhere but I hadn't been able to find it through searching.
We are looking for a used CF32BL, there are three within a reasonable drive from us, one for each year 2006 through 2008. The best deal appears to be on the 07 but the dealer doesn't seem to be internet savvy at all nor does he seem to know his units that well and I can't get much info or pictures out of him, but I digress.... I wish I could do private party and actually talk to the orig owner... (sorry keep going on tangents)
Anyway we want to keep the loan amount down as much as possible, so we're thinking the 06, but we're wondering if there were "new" standards throughout these years that make going up worth it. Are there any cues to options packages? I think all have the 10gal w/h and at least one has the 8 cu ft fridge. One has just one euro chair and ottoman, the other has two... was the second an option?
Thanks for any input!

The second Euro chair and ottoman are options, but worth it. The eight cu.ft. reffrdge is a definite plus. Each year generally offers more standards an options than the previous year. Its how they keep us trading up.

The original Euro chairs in my opinion were crap and we ended up buying some new ones a year later. So if they are original, keep that in mind. Not sure if the 06 had day/night shades , but we really liked that option. Also ask about the A/C. On a 32' rig, the 15K would be nice to have.

I just remembered I have a CR brochure from '06. In comparing that with what is on my '07 there are not a lot of significant changes. Fabric decor, shocks, and weight specs all changed a bit.

Thanks you guys, big help. We're looking at an 06 with 8 cu ft fridge, 15k A/C and 10gal w/h. Looks like it was owned by someone with a mod obsession. I'll start another thread b/c I have some questions about it.

Some of things I can remember are:
Surround sound speakers were built in not wall mount '08
Different graphics '08
Different tv box. tube vs. flat screen
decor colors / patterns.
Enclosed water / cable hook-ups and pull valves '07+
I would also confirm w/h size, fridge size, ac size, optional insulation package (may have to confirm youself, by looking inside front storage compartment behind enclosed hook-ups) look for foil bubble wrap.

Keep in mind some features can change midyear on any model year or even show up earlier than the model year they are introduced. My very late in the modelyear '05 CF29RE has some of the features that were introducedon '06 models.
There have been several posts here in the past from new owners that received midyear rigs with new features they weren't expecting.
I guess what I am trying to say is check each rig carefully. A later in theyear '06 and an early '07 might be very much the same while a later 07 could be different.

Another thing I noticed from the weblink on a previous post was a the older units have a plastic hand flush toliet vs. porclein foot flush. The wallpaper, couch, and pita side drapes all the same as my '08

Things have changed ... now we're going to buy an 08 (no sight unseen this time). We checked it all out, but I forgot to look for the optional insulation package by looking for the foil bubble wrap. Will check when I go back to get it, it will at least be good to know what's in there...
Sounds silly too, but that porcelain foot flush toilet is going to be nice

You may want to check to make sure all is sealed behind the pull handles / water hook-up panel. I know on my it was semi open to the elements. The dealer installed an aluminium panel to seal it completely. This also where you can check for the polar package
