My ice maker doesn't work while driving. At 5'2" she just tells me I'm on the wrong road spouting off orders like a General, complaining when I ask for another bottle of water.

Carl, glad it wasn't too expensive.

We looked at one place to stay in FL, that had these restrictions. When I called and gave them the coach info they asked for a photo of the coach, I sent it, No problem. Beautiful place, cheap in the summer.... I have seen some really sharp Super C's, test the water...call and send them a photo of what you want to purchase and see if it will be accepted. While our experience is not even close to most of you I think we can all agree why they are have those rules, while they might be strict I have parked at a few placed that were....hmmmm.....not so nice to be at to put it nicely.

Nice upgrades! The F53 is a good RV chassis.

Take a look at my signature line, I have been hit, knives pulled on me, broken up bar room fights, went through a glass door with a guy 2x my size etc... and I now work for a trucking co, that was nothing... I do appreciate the responses from my friends. OK, with all of that being said lets get back to the topic......shall we? Yesterday the DW and I took a road trip to CW in NJ (beautiful day for a ride in the car) to pick up the little things we all need for the start of the season. Plus this CW just expanded into selling new and used RV's, so we wanted to take a walk around and see if I get my next brainstorm . Surprisingly it was my DW's idea. Several products were on display in the parking lot, TT's with and with out the bumper hitch, Class C's, Class A's and a few DP's. We must have spent at least 2 hours walking through them. I have to say we were not impressed with the floor plans and quality, here is what we saw; TV's out of sight range, you have to turn your head 90 degrees to see it. One had it mounted next to the cook top (class A DP), not sure how that will look in a few years. unable to access back bedroom or restroom with slides closed. overall construction quality was very poor. screws laying on the floors and counters, valences falling down. sink in one bathroom wedged deep into a small space, not sure my kids could access let alone an adult, when there was another location that it could have been mounted. My guess is they placed it as close to the gray tank as possible. just flimsy construction products all throughout. It all just reiterated somewhere back in this or another post on how the quality has dropped off in the last few years. What really surprised me was the dealer displayed new units with broken items inside.

It never ends my friend! Hope it was a bad connection vs replacing the monitor$$$

Rogers, keep in mind the down sides of trailers; When you arrive you have to exit to set up, in bad weather that can be a pain. When you arrive, the trailer is at ambient temps inside, cold or hot can be uncomfortable for some,while waiting for the systems to get the unit to your desired temp. While in travel, you are at the mercy of using rest stops or gas stations for the potty. While in travel, stopping for a meal often cannot be cooked in the trailer without opening the slides, then most do not have generators if you need power, again you will be at ambient temps inside while this is all happening, chances are you will be done before the temps are comfortable. The bucking and bouncing down the highway getting blown around gets old quick with a trailer. I am sure here are downsides to motorhomes for some, if there is any they don't bother us. We often travel with friends with Trailers, these are the struggles I witness, and I have my first drink down, they are still setting up. One safety concern; when a trailer is set up you have no brakes to keep it secure in its spot, (unless it has air brakes) I watched one roll at a campground last year as it pushed the chocks along and the scissor locks between the wheels fell off. Just my two cents, go for what ever works best for you and enjoy it.

We had a Splendid 2000 series. If you turned the water on while driving the unit would fill up on its own, and eventually begin to leak as it overflowed. I called them for parts, since I thought it was a great thing the DW hated it. Splendid tech support told me I needed a new inlet water valve. The part had been discontinued, and there were none left on the shelf. They were kind to offer me a discount on a new unit, I passed. We wanted more drawer storage so I removed it and replaced it with drawers I had purchased from an Amish Furniture store. If it was a stackable I probably would have replaced it.

Friscor, I feel your pain.......welcome to PA, lol keep us posted of the outcome Good luck

Herman, I had no idea I could do that, in fact the one for my smoker is empty, so off I go for that adapter and a quick stop at the butcher for a Brisket. I worked part time at a hardware store a few years ago so filling propane was a nightly occurrence for me, I have that side down. Thank you, my little Webber would take a few years to empty that giant tank.

Agreed! I won't drive ours until the rain has washed away all salt.

I think I have it figured out. Thank you for the responses. I bought an 12' propane hose with the fitting that is on my grill that will connect in place of the disposable bottle. On the other end it has a "POA" fitting which connects to my valve on the tank. I was told to remove the regulator, (since the grill already has one built into it) and connect. Seems simple enough I will have to run the hose across the propane bay to the curb side of the coach for convenience. Once its empty...... pull the tank = more storage.

Anyone know what I would need to connect my portable Weber grill to the propane tank on the coach? Can I purchase such a hose? Here's my dilemma; All Propane appliances have been removed from the coach. The tank is full and has been since we bought it almost two years ago (65 gallon). I have called all of the local propane dealers in the area, no one will empty it. So I either have to remove the tank full or empty it on my own. I was thinking if I connect a hose to the regulator and have one long enough I can run my gas grill with it to try and use it up so I can run it out and pull the tank. Any suggestions?

DOC Mike, usually around the wood frame are what looks like buttons protruding from the wood. Carefully pop them out and there should be screws behind them. If none, check inside the cabinets alongside of the TV compartment they might be in there.

I just posted pictures of the finished product in our coach in the "Gallery" section. I need more photos and will work on them soon.

Carl, I slipped your kid neighbor a $5 to throw as much debris from the trees under your toppers.

Bill, I think the confusion is, your signature shows C12 CAT but you referenced you have a 3126 CAT above. The 3126 is a 7.2L not 12.0L.

Yup, I was thinking the same. Better make sure he's not on a coffee break on your dime, lol
