New to me DP

Purchased this DP today from a friend. It has 20,900 miles. Always stored in a shed. New Yokohama tires. All service performed. I took it for two test drives - the one with the wife sealed the deal. Much nicer than our current 2000 Hurricane.

2005 Fleetwood Expedition 34W.

Very nice. Now sit down with a notepad and the owners manual and read it like a novel. In a couple of weeks read it again. These things are quite complicated and it is amazing what you will learn.

First thing I located was the BIG owners manual.

Having owned several 5th wheel RVs and several truck campers (still have a Lance 1050S) and riding the rough roads throughout the US, I keep a tube of adhesive, duct tape, and an assortment of screws with me at all times.

I do most all my own maintenance unless I am pressed for time. My sons best friend owns a large truck service and repair facility and I use them when I don't want to do something myself.

I have a well equipped shop and have 15 years experience maintaining (occasional modification of) Cummins engines in my RAM pickups.
