Already posted this at ExPo and rv.net but wanted to post here to help others find the info I couldn't when looking for a Juno. 

 

I've been looking for an Outfitter Juno 10 and finally lucked out. Found a used 4 month old 2015 significantly discounted.

First, the good. The price. It was fairly dirty and well used in the 4 months the guy had it but it cleaned up nicely:

The extras he had installed: 300w solar, 2000w inverter, yakima racks, a/c, hide a bed, oven, 10' awning, all led lights, extra cabinet, 2 four gallon locking rotopax, outside speakers and outlets and a few others I'm probably forgetting. 430ah of battery life. 50gal of water capacity including water heater. The tent room was a must for our St Bernard:

or three

I love how they store the batteries. In our last camper they were on the outside of the camper and the temps would fluctuate too much. Outfitters system is much better. Stored under the dinette in a compartment vented to the outside. I was also glad to see they used 2/0 wire.

The new construction is also nice. Molded sides from cabover to the back door where it meets up with the back section. You can see the seam here:

No seams along the rest of the camper:

The bad. He bumped a jack on a tree and caused a little damage to it. it was repaired at a shop and appears to be fine. I talked with the guys at Outfitter and they said that jack is backed by a steel plate so it shouldn't have caused any issues and worst case scenario, they could replace that panel for $500. He camped by the ocean and stored it by the ocean. There is quite a bit of rust in a few places already. Nothing too concerning but I hate rust. I'll just have to remove rust and repaint. Pics of jack damage and rust:

He also had them add a spare tire mount on the roof but decided it was too heavy. I'll likely just remove it and seal up the holes. It's a big steel bracket that spans the width of the roof. 
 
 
Only camped one night so far on my drive back to CO. It was windy but the walls didn't shake at all which i was happy about. I drove back in 40mph winds gusting to 60 almost the whole drive. It handled the wind better than I expected. It's nice to be able to access the dinette, oven and bathroom with the top down as well. We'll have it up in the mountains soon and I'll report back with more as well as an official weight once I get to the scales.

Very nice.

 

Any idea what it tips the scales at for dry/wet weights?

The way it was optioned it was 3000lb dry. Between that steel spare tire rack, A/C, extra cabinet, 3 solar panels, Yakima rack, etc. Once I have it set up how I want I'll get it weighed again and get a wet weight one of these days. I've got a payload of 4200 so I'll be alright but it's heavier than I was hoping.

Bob said a base model juno should weigh around 2300 dry and I'd say that's probably accurate. There's a lot of heavy extras on here.

Nice rig - we strongly considered a Juno but it was just a bit bigger than we needed.  Looks like you are set for a lot of great trips.

Nice rig.  Should serve you well.  Really lightens up inside with all the windows open.

 

That tent room is perfect for the Saints (and their ring leader).  Between them and the food you have to haul for them, better keep an eye on your GVW :unsure:

It is nice to see the details in the options and construction of an Outfitter. Thanks for sharing and we expect you are going to get years of enjoyment out of your rig. Happy camping! :)

yea, when we're all loaded i'm thinking we're going to be pushing gvw but as long as the tires are below their max load that's my primary concern. like i said i want to ditch some of the excess stuff and see what it comes in at. it is heavier than i was hoping. they put a 13.5k btu AC on the top that weighs 100lbs and is 6" taller than the new low profile 9k units. i'm tempted to switch that out but not really sure it's worth it unless i find someone wanting a trade.
