Hi Everyone,
I am a first timer about to purchase an M245. I have done quite a bit of research and it looks to have the most features in the size we are looking. I plan on buying through Camping World out here in Massachusetts. Is there anything I should watch out for?
Thank you very helpful pointers. Are there other reputable dealers outside of Camping World to be considered?

After lot's of research and a very knowledgeable and patient sales rep, I purchased a M245 over the weekend. I am doing the PDI tomorrow and told him what I expected. So far, I am happy with my interactions with CW but tomorrow will be the true test. More to come...
Our CW would not assist me in doing the hook-up so if you are putting a weight distribution hitch on, I would suggest you review the process and maybe simulate the hook-up before your head up to get your trailer and make sure you have ALL the tools you will need to complete the installation and hook-up.
Looking forward to your follow-up post after you pick it up.
Unfortunately winter has been extremely persistent this year so we haven't had the opportunity to use our new M245 yet. I did pick up a cover a week ago and put it on just before we got the 16" of snow this past weekend. If you intend to purchase a cover for future storage, get it fit for the box length of the trailer, not the overall length. I didn't pay attention and just went by overall length. I have some ideas to make it a better fit that should not be too difficult to implement.
Congrat's BigDog523! I threw a cover on mine just before the big blizzard 2 weeks ago and got through it unscathed. I'm just finishing a locking battery box for my two battery set-up and am going to make some final adjustments to my wight distribution hitch today; and then I think I'll be ready to venture out on a maiden camp-out to a nearby campground. I've slept in it a couple of times, added a 3" memory foam topper to the mattress, and now am trying to get my wife to try the bed with the topper to see how she likes it before we take it on the road.
What cover did you end up getting? I am thinking that will be a must up here in Boston. I just booked our first “real” trip for this coming weekend. It will be a true test on how well I can work everything.

I have had my M245 for about a month now and besides a couple of minor aesthetic things during delivery it has been great. We have camped 3 weekends so far and I couldn’t be happier everything is functioning as it should and no evidence of water even after some heavy rain. I was a little concerned after reading some of the reviews but so far all is well. Off to Gunstock Mountain this weekend.
