    There are more than one!

    I run into Kiley at FMCA, GS and Shriners International! There are always other Vendors there, but I as many others have learned over the years

    to trust Kiley and as long as they have been in business, I have never had a problem!

    I go back to 1967, my first Class A!

    Off the subject, I had a Palm mix, named "Bella"....long time ago.

    Roger.

    Ref. increase in posted speed limits. When I was young and "bullet proof", I would drive at 65 to 75 mph in a Class A!

    I have in the past 30 years driven my Rv's at 63 to 65. There have been times off 70+ due to passing and then back to

    cruise control.

    I can also relate to pre computers and Forums, also all the regulations we have picked up since 1994....makes one wonder

    how we survived in MH 1967 to pre 94'?! None belted, none Radial tires, that was fun! I run mine at 10 psi over when cold

    and have not had a blow out since we got steel belted radials!

    If I'm camped more than a couple of days, then I'll check tires. Otherwise, I'll let tire minders take care of it and I don't run around with a digital heat gun, unless I'm grilling a steak!

    Hi all.

    Just returned Sunday from 4,118 miles. Avg. mpg 6.4 on a 09' Cummins 425, Allison 3000. If I use the dash computer or Silverleaf for mpg, I would be on the side of the road, looking for Coach net to bring me fuel! Constantly!

    I zero my "B" trip meter each time I re fuel, then I can divide my miles by gallons=mpg. Sometimes I can run all day with no AC on, but in Summer I run my generator and all 3 AC's if needed. The computers do not compensate! I generally get an avg. of 6.1 with gen on.

    I have a 150 gallon tank, but fill around 600 miles/90+/- gal. In July I took 112 gallons in Abilene, TX.& that is pushing it as my gen will shut off at a quarter tank, 37 gal. You do not want to do that in Texas, in July!

    Monty.

    Welcome to the Forum.

    How many miles does the unit have on it? A gasser with low miles, is good. Not so on a DP. Have it checked by a pro or two, is a good idea.

    As far as floor plan is concerned, if your wife likes it, nothing else matters!

    There are a lot off members on Forum that has a 38DP Bounder, look for them and click on name and send a PM.

    Hope you join FMCA and enjoy which ever coach you find and buy!

    I thought long and hard about a Hydrolift for my HD & was going to get one earlier this year. Changed my mind, when a member of

    Swinging Golfers had the hydraulics fail while going down I-95S in NC. last March....it totaled the toad, bike and tore out over $ 10K

    worth off coach, his is a 14' AMC Eagle 45' DP 600 HP Cummins! <_<:angry:

    I saw him last week in NC and this week in SC and he now carries a new HD in the bed of a new 4x4 truck! :wub:

    Joe. Hi!

    I have the Aqua Hot 450 & with a friend, who has the same unit, we serviced mine (about 5 hours) for what a Tech does in 45 minutes!

    Bobs coach went to a AH Dealer! His wife drove it there, as Bob was at a clinic getting his fix for a little finger nail, he ripped clean off! I had to close my ears as he used every big word in the book! :(

    If you have nothing better to do? Go for it! Your still young. Also, keep your kids in the house, as you don't want them to hear all the BIG words you'll be using! <_<

    We are both over 70 years old and came to the conclusion that time equals a lot of money, actually it's a priceless commodity! I will pay the $$$ and leave with clean, whole nails attached! :)

    rhart. On another post from you, you purchased a DP ! You wreck it? :huh:

    As for washer/dryer, I have a Splendid stackable and it's fine for me! Have had no problems. I do take my Jeans in for dry cleaning

    and wash towels about once a month in Laundromat.

    If you have money to burn and want to stay at 40', may I suggest you order a coach from Newell. :rolleyes:
