Lou hit it on the head! Great "short story" Lou.
I think you would get the same general answer from any owner of an RW. Had ours now for about 2 years. Got it from a family in AZ - sight unseen - and all worked out super. Flew to Phoenix on a Friday night and drove home to MA in 2.5 days (very short breaks). Fell in love when we saw a video when we were searching for a diesel super c online. When we actually got to see it on drive home day we said "holy $&@?, what did we do", cause it is substantially larger the the jayco 31ss we had. The the superb handling on the way home, ease of driving, comfortable seating (built in coffee maker) reassured us we did the right thing. Have loved it since and plan on keeping for the foreseeable future. Cleaning: get a 14' stepladder! Clean and treat the roof first. Have awning open so you can clean with extending handle brush from the roof - got mine at a pool store for about $20. Power washer (gently especially with decals) and a soft brush on that handle does wonders. I use an all in one turtle wax concentrate. Leaves a nice shine without streaking. Rinse thoroughly.
As a side note to all: is anyone checking tire sidewalls? My coach is an 09 on an 08 chassis. I'm sure it sat around for a bit before they built it. Although I only have about 20k on the clock I am noticing minor drywall cracks. Will not take chances! Will be replacing my tires in the spring. Just wondering if anyone else is seeing this.
Enjoy the rig!
