Congratulations!

I use wood. I bought a 2x8x10 or 12 and had them cut down. I use them because it will keep the feet from rusting and the jacks do not have to travel as far. I believe the less ram you have out the more stable the jack will be.

Did you check the fuse on the back of the fridge on the circuit boards? Not just the ones in the main fuse panel. I was shocked to learn that the fridge had one in it. I had the same problem once and that solved the problem. I learned this from an RV tech that I called to see if they could come out ASAP as I was leaving on a trip the next day.

Kirk,

I just started full timing 6 months ago. So right now I voted for 30-40k.

You seem to be doing a lot of polls lately. Is there a reason behind it?

Hi Gang,

 

A little update, I'm retiring 12/24 and have the rest of this week off so 4 more work days. While that's certainly a step in the right direction, we took another big step last weekend and bought ourselves a rig to full time in. We found a pristine 2008 Newmar Mountain Aire with 53K miles on it. Bought it in Canada where our dollar is currently at $1.37 so we got it well below NADA retail. It's got a Cummins 450hp with 1450 ft/lbs torque and a CCC of 9766 lbs. The dealer will keep it in heated storage for us until we take delivery in late April (can't do much with it in Maine next few months anyway. It'll be a long wait to pull it out, but means we won't have to make trips to FL, TX or AZ this winter to look at rigs. The wife will be working into spring, but I'll be working on home sale prep, selling off stuff, etc. We had kind of been focused on a Tiffin bus, but this beauty fell into our laps and truly was a deal we couldn't pass up.

 

Here's a few photos:

 

 

 

 

 

Congrats and nice looking rig.

I have heard mixed reviews on the furniture. But for hat they give you as a credit, I just went with their furniture right now. I can always up grade or replace the cushions with better ones down the road.

The most common La Z Boy recliner used is the Pinnacle. The back comes off to make going through the door easier.

I looked into Flexsteel. But man are they a PAIN. There was a dealer close to me BWI airport but they DO NOT sell the RV sofas. The closest dealer was a Camping world in PA and they did not carry anything on the floor. I mean how do they plan on selling them if you can not even see or sit on one?
