We picked up our new 2011 Great West Van Legend today. While I was at the dealer checking it out and signing the final papers, and writing the humongous check, I managed to get in a few minutes explaining features in our old B to a prospective buying couple.
I now have 40 miles of driving our new B. Tomorrow will be the test to see if it will hold all that I want to hold in it, mainly the two inflatable kayaks.
Before it got dark I did check the two house batteries - Two Deka Marine Master Group 31s. That means I go from a previous 95 amps in old B to 210 amps in new. I got by OK on the old with frugal battery management including a 5 day stint in a National Forest. This will be luxury and no fear in the boonies.
