Unless he is referring to the dash ac as one of the 2 units, that thing must get cold!! Low 90's and very humid here today and I ran my 1 ac and it chilled down in about 45 minutes, had to turn it down.

agreed, I am surprised to see units under 30' with 2 a/c on the roof and 6kw generator to power them. Mine has the one and as mentioned is cool and comfy at 90 degree outside temps.

Thanks for the listing Alen. I'll get this to my neighbor. They are still looking for a motor home and I'm trying to keep them from buying a SOB. They tell me they are looking for a Class C 28ft.

They tell me they are looking for a Class C 28ft.

Weight wise an Airstream/Argosy would be a better choice than a Class C. Empty mine it is 9200 lbs, GVW is 12,200 lbs. A lot of Class C's push the GVW of the chassis, especially the longer ones. Tell them to check what they will be able to load (fuel, food, passengers, etc.) if they find one they like.

Exactly the reasons I am trying to talk them into skipping the Class C. I think their main reason for wanting that style is the doors at the front. I may have to build them a grill like yours though if it's one of the older units. That looks a 1000% better then the stock grill. There is a 345 ( I think that is what it is) in AL that is near their price range as well.

The grill wasn't too bad to make. The real reason I did it was the huge holes in the original. I could picture truckin' down the road and trashing a radiator, the openings were big enough for a pigeon to fly through, wings spread. The new one only has 1" between the tubes, 1/4" hardware cloth behind that. Peter found some 1/8" hardware cloth but I'm still looking.

Well, 1 more reason. I hate the old round headlights, they are about as good as a couple of candles past 100 ft. So as long as I was changing, the whole front went.

Another plus to this one, they could rent it for cold storage between camping trips.
