Hello

Nothing more important than the bed and a good nights sleep.

Nice looking rig! Congratulations and happy trails!

Done

Mike,

For a separation curtain, I went to Harbor Freight and bought a $8 moving blanket, a grommet kit (including punch), some S hooks and made mine.

The total cost was probably less than $20.

I got a length of curtain rod to span the cutout area to hand it on.

I cut off the extra length of the blanket and hung it up.

It is well insulated and keeps the heat out and the cold in.

Thanks will be doing the same thing, plus will make one for the side door. in -20 and -30 all the heat the better :-)

I also think this is smarter than trying to put those wrap around curtains up at night!

Dang! That is more fancy than mine. I just have a blanket over that area. The dog still can go to the front and get entertained if she wants to. Even if I put up the front window curtain she manages to go under it. When cold I also pull the curtains on the cab over.

I like the moving blanket idea.

Hey Mike! Welcome across the aisle! Like you, we went from a Northstar TC to a "B" for over a decade, now in a "B+". Been in that just a year now, still working on carrying over the mods that took those 10+ years in our "B" to make this one work "just right" for us! Always a work in progress... ST

Mike congrats on the the class C. If you remember I used to be on the TC forum also as I had a NL 10.2 CD.

We came over about 2.5 years ago and bought a Winnebago View. Then we decided we wanted to stay out longer so we ended up with a 37' Super class C. I'm in the process of doing mods on mine also. As you well know it is a never ending thing. It gives me something to do when we aren't traveling. We are on the road presently and into our 5th week. We have gone about 4500 miles. We have almost 8,000 miles on it since we picked it up July 19 of this year. The rig only had a little over 200 miles on it when we picked it up at the factory. We figure about 15,000 miles by the the time it is a year old. We are on the way home to do the DR things for our yearly physicals. Then get ready to take off for the winter months and head to the southern coast and across it. Sure hope the price of diesel stays down.

But welcome to the "C" world.

Seems like a few TCer people here :-) I did love the TCer and can see the benefits but other than loosing the off road ability I think I came out with more benefits than what I lost for what I use it for. I never took the camper off the truck so really not a big deal there.

Next set of mods done...

- Moving blanket bought, so far just tucking it in under the mattress. DOES MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE!!!!!

- Vent pillow for the front vent

- Reflectix (sp) bought for the rear vent

Today thinking of getting some plexiglass after work to start making storm windows. The rear window does not open so I can leave this one in all year round. For the windows in the cab over think I will make a insert with some foam and mount it in there as they do not open either and to me is more of a pain then anything as I never look out there.

Still debating on the big window. May use those plastic sheets that you heat up to shrink this year. Considering seeing what the cost would be on replacing the big one and the tiny one by the door with a thermal pane windows as only have the two windows that open and may be worth the cost to have the warmth in the winter and the coolness in the summer.

Wife is ready to kick me out of the house so I may be moving into the Class C soon. I mentioned the other day that I was thinking of buying a van and converting it or buying a Class B for my daily vehicle as the Class C is wider than I like to drive to work :R
