  1. Kirk, I wish the pole was capable of showing in each of those cost categories, what kind of fulltimer are you? Do you travel alot (how many miles a year), do you belong to memberships (what kind), do you go from an owned property/lot to another, diesel or gas, motorhome, 5er, TT, HDT. How often do you eat out? Do you have pet expenses (how many)? That keeps the you from going WOW, you spend what or saying OMG, how do you live on so little. What I miss is when I started lurking on RVNetworks, 7/8 years ago... people use to share their yearly expense sheets. I know it is a very personal thing but it was super helpful to us back then to know if we were going to be able to do this as there were expenses that never entered our head. I still wish some would post their more recent ones. This our first year fulltiming and I would love to see where are we overflying in comparison to most and where are we saving or NOT!
  2. We have had MCDs for a year now. Just left YESTERDAY MCD to have warranty work done. Not the fault of MCD. The fault all laid with the installer who even way over charged me by $1200.00 (Davis Cabinets in Oregon, won't ever be going back there again, had all new cabinets and shades put in.....all of it, not so good but alot of money) Anyway, he gave us the wrong setup for our door, so the day shade sprung, the night shade was fraying. We found out that we should have had a door mounted day shade and a over the door single night shade. Instead he put up a duo day/night shade over the door. We also had a problem with our passenger window and it was because he measured the window and forgot that the handrail was there, so when he installed it, he shoved it over to miss the handrail, letting light in and making it hit the handrail and fray. MCD repaired the window shade but couldn't do much because of the handrail, they would have to charge us to move the handrail and wait there a week to get a new shade. Our shades when pulled down make a loud noise as they slap the wall while traveling. They gave us a roll of this stuff to apply to the weight rods and wah lah, no more slapping. The only thing we did find out was that being Davis only offered us choice of 2 colors instead of 10, both is colors for the night shades are a material that looks like vinyl but is not and back is like felt. Well backs get real dirty, real easy. And the tech told us this line is porous type material. That he always recommends in Motorhomes to go with the vinyl, they clean nicer and aren't porous. What ever material you choose, same price. To redo the whole coach, they wanted $1200 less than what I paid and if I have them do it, I save the $300 shipping that I had to pay addl to Davis. And they don't offer discounts because we were mislead. So we decided that as each shade gets to dirty to clean (cause that felt picks up ever ounce of dust on your window.) or something happens that it can't be fixed, we are gonna buy a single in the same color and just replace the night shade. Their products fit all their brackets the same. The front one....when the time comes, we will see if we will attempt to do it or go there. Cause it works and does the job but the tech said it should have been shifted back more so that when it gets to the dashboard it would lay down better. All in all, I have to say the people at MCD were very helpful, courteous and informative. Edited to add: Manual pull except for windshield. Don't need anymore remotes!
  3. We feel like the unsure class!! We live in Las Vegas, NV and will be out of the sticks and bricks Sept 30 as it is sold. But because we are right on top of winter we might take a few week trip in Oct somewhere, not sure where. Then be back here for Nov and Dec to spend Thanksgiving and Christmas with youngest son. We will stay in a campground and of course the coach will be the only home. (plus we will be scheduling DH left knee surgery probably end of October. Sooo, I guess we are technically class of 2016...but won't officially hit the road till 2017. I guess hitting the road doesn't matter...it is when you are actually ONLY living in your home on wheels. So I guess that titles us class of 2016??
