Contemplation - Preparation - Advice???

[PharmGeek]

Well I'm getting numbers from dealers today - already a real possibility - waiting
for quotes from others though before final decision

Getting excited

One thing I'm worried about is a 2013 model shipped in march 2013....snow salt on roads...i was told by dealer that he has no recollection of salt on that model and it is corrosion free (at this point)

It looks like I could order new for about 3k more - which would also include awnings package - so in reality we are talking about 1600 for brand new factory fresh delivered in October/November at this point - decisions decisions - hopefully the two dealers that have yet to return surprise me with numbers that make the decision even more clear

Congrats - but you're already close to being a rivet master with 2 weeks to go before picking up your trailer....

Will he make it?!?! :-)


Good luck and as someone else said, don't over think it....it's camping....relax and have a ball!

[PharmGeek]

meh, what the hell...had them go with the 2014 with all the options I want - ultraleather, 2ac's, awnings, and 1000w inverter....still a good price too...blue ox hitch included in the price...if I end up not liking it, then I go propride

[PharmGeek]

on order for october/november

[m.hony]

You are on fire! When do you take delivery?

[m.hony]

Oh...I see...2 weeks...July 13? I told ya so!

[m.hony]

I am happy and smiling for you!

[m.hony]

Oh...waiting for a 2014. I hear good comments about the Blue Ox. I have never seen one in person. There are some nice folks at Foley. I want to stop by there when we go to a wedding on the MS coast in November. Maybe it will be at the same time you take delivery of your trailer. You will be a rivet master before you have a trailer!

Congratulations.

So did you go with the bunkhouse in the end?

Question, two ACs - how are you planning on powering these? Most campgrounds won't have enough juice to get them both going.

[m.hony]

Most campgrounds around here have 50 amp service. Running both ACs is not a problem. There are some styling cues I like on the flying cloud- aluminum inner skin- no mouse fur. The vent hood is awesome. I ilikemthe black ultra leather.

[andreasduess]

Of course - I was referring to our own experiences, which is very much national or provincial park campgrounds. You're lucky to get 30 amps there. Oftentimes the best spots can be without any services.

Haven't visited enough down south to know much about the power availability.

[PharmGeek]

i was really torn about black vs. golden ultraleather...but wife wanted the tan...and I like it too...not that big a deal to me really...but I need to make my wife happy...happy wife, happy marriage

Delivery date I need to figure out exactly...I will know more monday. But he has said before in late october or early november. They were already slotted for this build.

I am at gulf shores, AL right now...there are tons of 5th wheels and other long trailers down here with two AC units...likely a decent number of places with power to use 2 ac's...but if I had to get by with one, i would find a way...got all the awnings so that helps...the RV dealers down south do not order 30' units often at all with only 1 AC units, me and Ron were talking about that today...he camped down in gulf shores 1 week ago himself in a 28' unit with one ac unit, only the awning in the front, but was in shade...said he did "ok" but got a tad stuffy in the bedroom and worse if they closed the shade...and it was 92 degrees.

I have not been able to inquire about "LT Michelin 16 inch tire upgrade" yet...how much should I expect this to cost and does JC do it? Also, what does "LT" mean? MANY folks have PM'ed me about this and folks say in passing I should get this done!

I know I can do it myself later...sell the old wheels and put on the new ones, but would rather just do it now perhaps...

YEP, bunkhouse....wife was very certain about this...she is excited...as am I.
Im excited to see your's as well!!

[PharmGeek]

m.hony...look me up if you will be in gulfport on that day...would welcome another set of eyes to look over the systems with me of course....ill let you know the date when I figure it out...it will likely be a friday pickup though as my wife's schedule has every other weekend as a 3 day weekend.

Just need to get my dad (lives in huntsville) to watch the kids that weekend to allow us to do this all without the children...

[m.hony]

I may not be completely accurate about what the letters on tires mean, but this it what I have always thought-
LT=light truck?
HT=highway tread?
AT=all terrain?
