Head West Not So Young Man 2

Hate to hear that you had so many issues with the dealer. Did you pay them for it before picking it up or after making sure everything was done correctly?

My parents bought their first RV back in the early 70's and we grew up traveling all over the place in it. When my dad wanted to get a new RV, he went to a RV Show that had a really good deal on a diesel pusher. The first RV was a gas engine in the front. He spent the day looking at it and decided to buy it the next day. He went back to the show and got them to come down on price even farther for the display model. Signed the papers, gave them a check and he drove it home. While looking at it, and hearing him brag on how quiet the diesel engine was, we all went to the back to look at the engine and for the very first time discovered that it was a gasoline engine. Paperwork all said diesel. Dealer said sorry, but its yours now. Dad threatened to sue them, they called his bluff, so he hired a lawyer that was able to make them see reason. They took that RV back and gave my dad a nicer one for the same price, but refused to pay for the lawyer that dad hired, so he was out that, but saved quite a bit on getting the bigger, fancier more expensive RV that really did have a diesel engine in it.

Sorry to hear they didn't make even minimum expectations. Seems to be the norm on many things now. Hopefully you will have smooth sailing from here on out. Is there supposed to be a picture on here?

inside pics coming

autolevel system now zeroed out/"finding the null", and system now levels properly, no longer holding unit up on legs like in pic.
Now both tires on ground, where they belong.

the service mgr told me unit tries to adjust within limits of suspension travel, about six inches, thus keeping tires on ground.
I was trying to figure out how steep a slope it could tolerate, if I could reduce it to a number.
Thank you google for providing the formula Percentage pitch = (height change / length) x 100
so six inches over 25 feet calculates to a 2 percent grade/pitch.
I'm holding my hands six inches apart and thinking about 25 feet. 2 percent seems low to me

You can find several youtube video tours of the inside.

You might want to take along a few pieces of 2X10s

yes, the ones left over from the last motorhome when I took them along as insurance...I put grab handles on the end of three foot 2x10's.
They may be under one of my implements, hmmmm, need to find them

at tire store getting new fronts on truck and my rv tires were there waiting for me.
Big difference in tread pattern, these might actually work in snow plus better on wet grass in campgrounds.

Not what I was expecting. I was thinking one of those full sized bus type monsters.
