Thanks Matt and Mary - Brake lines on the check list, As were the brakes themselves (nearly 2/3 or better on all disc) - a couple "look" to have been recently replaced does mean much without close inspection! We have mountains! although John's rule is never come down any faster than you can go up, brakes a big big thing!
And thank you timmac - Yes has two very good working roof mount will freeze one out most quickly - although the coach unit does not seem to have much punch, so it's already on the check list! Thankfully the move does not entail actual living in the unit but hopeful for escaping the hottest times of the year by going to cooler climates!
And yes we been through Southern Nevada often January to September, preferring to avoid July and August! Although we've been through almost every mid September since '83 and lordy but there have been some hot days still then also!
Thankfully we are considering area about 1500 feet higher and that will cut into some of the hottest temps a little!
Being native Coloradan, (although spent about 8 of my formative years in rural southern Texas) I was immediately more concerned with heaters! :P As Uncle and Aunt we purchased from never ran them! They wintered in coastal Texas and only lived in it while in transit from point A to point B. Base heater working but have not yet tested the actual furnace, we've made sure all venting and ducts have been cleaned and are clear!
Once we actually get on the road hoping there is little we have not been in under over or on!
