Default Bankston Motor Homes in Huntsville has a 2017 in stock.

I knew they were listed as a TM dealer in the past, but when I was looking for mine, they never had any in stock. (not that I could afford a new one anyway) It's encouraging to know there is still a dealer in my area. They've sold TM for many years. I'm hoping they have someone there who knows how to service them. I might need it down the road--for a tune up.

They have exactly one 2720 in stock right now. I hope it sells quickly, so they will continue to order!

My opinion....the black trim is hideous.

Anybody notice the style bathroom cabinet? It's angled.

Looks like they put up he hanging cabinets backward...They should be swapped. Looks good. Angled counter in the bathroom seems a bit odd. Looks like they also added an indoor handle for the 2nd bed to pull it in.

The black isn't too bad, but they used it too much. The angled bathroom cabinet is different, wonder how much room you have under neath?
It also seems the armoire doesn't fit all the way back? I don't remember that much of a gap in the back? Interesting changes.

Think the wardrobe just isn't pushed all the way back.

I like the black trim. Looks like most RVS on the market now.

If you look closely the cutout on the back of the wardrobe looks like it doesn't match the shape of the lower box ledge. I think that's as far as it will go.

I also like the black. I got new fender skirts, they are black. I need a bumper storage pan, I think it will also be black. I'm about to order an Atwood A/C, I think it will be black (cheaper for whatever reason). I'm thinking about painting some of the trim beams along the edges black to match.

I agree that the cabinets should be swapped. In addition, in picture 14, it looks like they installed the one over the stove upside down! I don't think the handles should be way up near the ceiling.

I may be wrong, but I think that the proper over-the stove cabinet is the narrower one, whose width matches the stove. In addition, it is shorter, to keep the cabinet out of the heat and steam rising from the stove.

The proper over-the-sink cabinet is wider. In fact, in my trailer, at least, it is wide enough that when in place, it overlaps the junction between the front and rear shells. The right hand side of the back of this cabinet has a step-out that reaches back to the front shell wall. Very unusual shape - but it works. However, when the dealer put this cabinet over the stove, the step-out was on the wrong side. It pushed the cabinet out from the wall, so they put it upside down so the step-out is on the left. I readily admit it is possible that TM did away with this step-out, which must have been annoying to fabricate.

I like the new bathroom sink arrangement. The one-piece cabinetry is a big improvement over the old two piece setup, in my opinion.

Yes, photo 18 shows that the wardrobe needs to be shimmed up about half an inch, so it can slide back over the ledge of the lower shell. This is a factory error, but the dealer should have caught and fixed it. The buyer will probably struggle with this forever, not knowing it is wrong.

Minor point - the dealer should have folded the kitchen sink faucet up - it looks dopey with the snout buried down in the sink basin. And they should have lowered and attached the velcro flaps - the thing looks unfinished with them hanging out in the air.

This is the first time I have seen one of the new units up close. There are a number of small changes, most of which I really like. Although I, too, am not fond of all the black, this is a nice-looking unit. But the demo setup doesn't give me much confidence in the dealer.
