We love our 16rb. Thanks for sharing the photo. You pull it with the fj cruiser?

Here is my 2016 starcraft launch extreme 16rb. Just got back from my first trip and everything worked as intended!
Nice upgrade from my 2006 rockwood freedom 1940ltd tent trailer.

That is actually a feature of the 16RB I like. I snore pretty loud, so If I face behind the bathroom when I sleep it seems to minimize disturbance to the people in the front.

The only bad thing about that is that the ac and heat doesn't get back there very well.

Still want the additional space of the 17.

That's pretty funny! I hadn't thought about that aspect. We felt like we'd be claustrophobic back there, as well as feeling like it would be tight getting in and out. There are some things I miss about the 16RB. One was the nice couch across from the table, but overall we've been happy with our choice, and I can't believe how much storage space it has. There's more storage room than our 1990'something 23' Terry travel trailer had.

Thanks! We were limited to a 7' wide trailer because of our storage place, and were happy to find a hybrid that worked for us. We were originally going to go with the 16RB, but didn't really like the way the rear bunk went behind the bathroom. Saw the 17SB at the dealer and fell in love!

Ahhh! My favorite floor plan. I have the two-foot-itis and I have only had my 16rb for a year.

Welcome to the forum.

Recently joined this forum. We bought our 2014 Starcraft Launch 17SB in March. Here's a picture from our first camping trip to Capital Reef National Park in Utah, staying at an RV park just outside the town of Torrey.

This was taken on our 3rd trip out with our new 2016 24rls. My wife and I haven't found anything we don't absolutely love about this camper. Haven't had a single problem, other than a couple self-inflicted ones. This is our 4th RV.

I have the oxygenetics shower head in mind too. To change the shower head, do I just twist the existing one off and replace it with the oxygenetics? sorry, I am absolutely not handy at all.

That is what I did, however I have a little leak at the threaded connection.

I think I need to throw some teflon tape in there on the threads. Not a big deal, just drips into the shower, but I am a perfectionist.
