The new fiberglass cap and towing diamond plate rock guard make the Sierra very attractive. The recreation-light is conveniently located under the awning for optimal night time use. Ultralube axles make maintenance a breeze. Crash out on the residential hide-a-bed sofa for the night. It comes complete with wooden accent feet, decorative throw pillows with accent fabric and fringe. Curl up with a book and use the sofa swing light to catch up on your reading. Watch a movie and turn down the luxurious lighting package in the slide-out. The 100-watt in-line filter and 8-speaker surround sound of the Home Theatre System will bring the screen to life. Turn into the bedroom and find comfort waiting. The high-class suede bed-set, accent pillow shams and mirrored headboard are just the beginning. The convenient night stands on either side of the bed provide a 110 outlet to plug in the alarm clock for the next day’s events. This year Sierra provided larger windows than the competition to make your camping experience more connected with nature. So pull up the blinds and enjoy the outdoors. It’s vacation.
