Oh! Where, has the OP gone? That so often happens to Newbies!

CR would probably rate mine a 5! But if mine was modified in the same manner and had the name Land Cruiser attached, it would rate excellent! CR has always come across as snobbish! Don't remember the year that they rated the Mercedes Benz 4 X 4 as the best all around 4 wheeler on the market and it listed for $110K.....I have never seen one in the desert or woods!

Generally speaking, I would agree with you. I have seen too many owners wanting to get their nose in it...I stay away until called!

Did you lend him some WD-40?

Michelin don't make tires in winter! March is still winter...

It's a needful thing! I rather do laundry in house on a rain day, than go back and forth to camp laundry! Ugh! Big loads to town and pick up after golf...I let them do it, cost about the same, especially if you consider the inconvenience of sitting and waiting!

Tom,
High end coaches, still have the window awnings (built in, like the old Signature model), you only see them when they are out! Same with roof mount.
I will agree with coolness in sun. Another pro/con thing!

Pre 2007, great. Don't know if I would wait on jury!

I've never seen one that blocks the gen slide out...all are attached to the slide itself! Can you post a picture? I would remove the whole shield and get at generator first, then either have the shield cut to size or install Diamond Shield, in any event your going to have holes to contend with!
It's either Plexiglas or Lexan! Carl

Size? Where? What are you towing?

Glad you had a good "Get away" and found it enjoyable! Class B, would make for a nice toad.
My best friend has had a 5th now for 10 years, because he tends to stay in one place for 3 or more weeks and has been looking for a new rig! Took a year for him to make up his mind as to get a 40' to 45' DP or another 5th! He told me yesterday that he and the DW has decided to go with another 5th, custom built by Royal, 47'!
He will end up spending as much for trailer and hauler as I would on a new 45' DP.
His reason is quite simple...we all change as we get older, he no longer is interested in all the toys, both like to stay in one place for the Summer! They have rented a garage in Cortez, Co. for her car and his Jeep!
Every body has their own reason and need. I still like to travel and I'll stay a week or a month, I'm not hung up on seeing the same people each year, at the same place, doing the same thing!

It would really help to know what type of coach your interested in! Class A, B or C? DP or gas? Length? Cookie cutter or Custom? Used or New?

Herman.
What is a "Simi"?
Carl

Herman, the answer to your Q is right below Brett's post.

Joe.
Both ways will work, I like Herman's best. I have a Webber along with the green canisters of gas. I did the same thing your doing and love the extra space, it's right behind my connection for air hose, so I use it to store the hose and a separate bin for my cable connectors and extra cable!
As Herman said, empty tank, happy Joe...we don't want you to learn to fly by gas!

I had a combo once and it would not keep up with me...shorts, golf shirt underwear and socks, OK. Long pants, towels, bedding, Not OK!
I have stackable now and love it. Wash up to 13 pounds, dry to 23 pounds. The only thing I take out to wash is a load of towels, blanket and jeans! I run a load about every 10 days. If I was full time in coach, probably once a week avg. It uses 3/4 Tspoon of soap per wash.

I can't respond to that on Forum! LOL
3 weeks to Perry!I see the pros and cons to the topper. One big con is that you forget to clean under it...out of sight, out of mind!
Also in a storm situation it can tear just like any awning! It will keep a lot of debris out, but if it was not there, I would probably spray it more often and wax the slide top!Carl
-
I learn a lot, just by reading about your trucking experiences. Thanks for that!
I still can't wrap my mind around running a 600+ in a cookie cutter DP. The newer AC Tradition (mine) has a 500 standard and 600 option, at 51K pounds, that is ridiculous. I can understand a 600 in a Newell or Liberty coach as they are around 25K heavier than me...however, I wonder how much of that extra weight is because of beefed up chassis and big engine?
Carl
-
You'll get no negative from me! That's why my coach don't come out and play in the snow/ice!
If I want snow I'll fly and stay in a warm cozy lodge Carl

The problem was found after about 20 minutes. The connection point of the ground wire was good, but the wire was cut in half. Connected up a new wire and tied it to the rest of the wire bundle...I also had him mark it and draw me a crude elect. diagram! All my fuses are in an outside compartment where the elect. switch for generator slide out is...I had a plastic box made, with a door to keep fuses completely dry right after I bought this coach!
It was $145 per hr. for RV and $132 for trucks!

Thank you Herman, it's such a pleasure to drop in on Forum!
You still need to work on your spelling... Oh, I'm still pet less. Carl
-
Thank you. Will be looking at ground for instrument panel and fix my problem!
Carl

Joe, the lights quit yesterday, I'm thinking it's a fuse. Or could be something else since the tech had the dash apart fixing Silverleaf...it works!
Carl

No dash gauges lights! I'm at Cummins and they charge $145 an hour....HELP!

I still have a 07' Chevy 2500 with the Duramax and Allison....117,356 miles and no problem. Mine is 4x4 and I have pulled low boy trailers with Cat track dozers and track hoes, horse trailers and pulled stumps with it...best truck/engine combo!
Have not made a comparison, but the 33' Palazzo has a 300 Cummins and 600 pounds of T. I would not buy a Breeze or Palazzo, just saying!
