Hi

I am looking to upgrade my Conway Cruiser to a Conway or Pennine with a toilet.  Can anyone tell me the benefits of the new gas strut system v the older style pull out beds?  Are the beds more sturdy with the new system, do they take more weight etc? 

I would be very greatful for any information.

Many thanks

Jen

the only reason there are no more slide out beds is the factory burnt down!i think the slide out bed system is better,just because the canvas is fully attached so less hassle in the rain,once up no real benefits between the two.

As obove the canvas is fully attached quicker to put up,gas struts dont take all the lifting effect away. I love our Crusader nice and big with plenty of storage.

If it ain't broke don't try to fix it!
