Bishop...Haha! I like your style! I definitely think about a lot of the things you mentioned! Thanks for the detailed post! about a hour after purchasing the coach, driving down the freeway, I suddenly realized "oh ****! I don't know how tall it is!" So I looked it up really quick. 10'7. I'm going with 11' to be safe. Haha.
I did buy a new set of tools, exactly as you said. Screw driver with 43 thousands bits, etc. I even calculated out the weight with liquids (water, fuel, oil, propane) and without so I can time when/where I need to be lighter or where I can be heavier while traveling. I'm kinda OCD. Haha.
Matt, fortunately, the previous owner DID save manuals as such! That's how I've been learning about the stuff in here. Plus tons of Google.
I'm a motorcyclist (high performance, race track kinda stuff) so I ABSOLUTELY take tires pretty seriously. In fact, before making the decision to buy this coach, one of the questions I'd asked was for the date code of the tires. 50th week of 2016. :)
Regarding solid state media; the more you use it, the longer it will last you. Letting them sit with no writes is what kills sd/cf. I've got 10 year old cards that still work. No joke.
Thanks everyone, for the fantastic advice and support so far! You guys are awesome! :)
