  1. Yes, this was on our DRV. The cost was $8800 including have the roof side radi replaced.
  2. Had Flex Armour sprayed on at a Houston location. Had a slide roof does as well there. It made the rig quieter in hard rains, and hopefully cooler as well. Our insurance paid the difference in price once the adjuster realized it has a lifetime warranty.
  3. Make sure your docs, nurses, and anesthesiologist know this. I always tell them not to be within arm or leg reach because I come out of anesthesia fighting. When they did my lower back, I woke up restrained....
  4. Lion is a group that left Battle Born and started their own. Same technology and ideas.
  5. We have an 85lb lab that can leave a pile..... and we clean up after her..... She's our responsibility. But I have had encounters with other pet owners that don't clean up after their pets..... And I have asked those owners to please clean up when their dog craps in my area.... And they didn't.... And I cleaned it up and delivered back to their steps..... Left the pile without a bag.... on their steps.....
  6. Make sure the key end has a cap. I've had several that have accumulated dirt to the extent that the key wouldn't work.
  7. OUr Volvo was already titled as a motorhome in Michigan and they accepted that with the conversion form. We are titled as a Volvo Motorhome in Sioux Falls SD.
  8. Kirk, The focus is on the DRV group. There have been known issues with water intrusion. In the 2014 time frame, about when Thor took over, DRV stopped using butyl tape behind the beltline moldings. They also elected to use a lower quality sealant on the exterior. Even after dealers informed them that the exterior sealant caulking deteriorates in a few months, the factory continues to use it. For the amount the DRV units cost, one expects or expected a unit of quality that isn't being delivered.
  9. We have had water intrusion issues on our 2017 DRV Mobile Suite both a rotten slide floor and a slide roof that rotted. These have been repaired at our expense. I'm gathering details from other people that have had similar issues with their DRV brand RV. If you have had issues, please PM me. I'm not looking to start a brand argument and will delete any comments that don't pertain to my question.
  10. Well, After the ECR if you head south and west you can make your way up to Caldwell Idaho for the week long event. Then leave and cross the upper US for your Vermont run. Leaving Vermont cross into Canada and travel west across southern Canada until you're around the Sweetgrass Mt border crossing. Head south to your Yellowstone adventure for Sept, finishing at the National in Oct. It's just fuel and time.... 😄
  11. I remember laying on the back deck under the rear windshield watching people tailgate us... How times change...
  12. Mix a spray bottle of soap and water then spray down all the connections on the outside of the firewall. Look for small bubbles that look like fish eggs. When was the last time the front brake chambers were replaced?
  13. Smart Madness is the only one left that offers the cruise.. The other company has discontinued the 451 cruise.
  14. I seem to remember a rally or pre-rally where a group order was done for the cruise controls. I thought you had been elected for the under dash work for some reason.... Thanks for all the replies. Already have Smart Madness bookmarked.
  15. As the title says, What size aftermarket tires and rims fit the 2013 Smart 451? Also, need to find a Cruise Control for it.... but if I remember right, Rocky is the designated installer!
  16. We had a 4cuft upright that ran off an inverter for 4 years. Never had an issue with it. It was handy for stocking on meat and veggies. Currently, our residential fridge freezer has enough space.
  17. Years ago there was a company that did Mississippi river cruises in a more unique way. They loaded yours and others RV's onto several barges and you went up or down the river. Had meals, entertainment, etc but your own bed at night. Day stops/excursions along the way.
  18. I do have my account flagged so that when I call, I am transferred to an AMERICAN ENGLISH speaking person. I'll try the number above next time I have to call.
  19. I'm in the same package boat. I just call and harass them when I move..... I have very politely explained that I would love to use their App, but I'm not willing to pay more for the convenience of them not answering a phone call.
  20. 1st week of August in the Sturgis/Black Hills area of South Dakota is easily over $100 a nite. Its Bike week and there are 500,000 + people here.
  21. Yup..... And still waiting on insurance to offer a decent settlement on the truck. I'll have the mirror parts for you eventually.
