Thanksuncomfortable couch helpHi, We have a small 25 ft jayco with the small couch slide out over the wheel well. Does anyone know how to put in a more comfortable couch? The factory one is in good shape but it is too high and too deep for us to sit comfortable. We are stumped due to the slide having to slide over the wheel well and there are pipes and such underneath it. Any suggestions would be appreciated. ThanksRe: Anyone make a mistake buying first MH ?I didn't know there was a shortage of Internet space for threads,maybe people just like to comment on their experience which is what I appreciate and enjoy learning from. Thanks to all those for passing on their story and to the ones that think the thread is too long please don't read. Thanks to all.Re: Anyone make a mistake buying first MH ?All true hipower, and faint of heart never found such a good home as with me.LOLRe: Anyone make a mistake buying first MH ?Yes, the motels are costly ( ones I would stay in). And you are right the comforts of home is super especially not having to use the nasty restrooms that are out there. I am still wanting one and am on the fence but it is scary with the cost of gas and repairs. Thanks to you all and happy camping.Re: Anyone make a mistake buying first MH ?Oh my,8-10 mpg!!! I was nervous about a class A to start with, I guess I better scale back "our wants". I love the camping lifestyle and have been camping for 30 yrs in a TT and I see those motorhomes pull into the campgrounds and it makes me want to try one but retirement don't come with everything so I guess we better be thankful that we can camp at all with the cost of gas as it is. We set out on a trip out west pulling a 26 ft TT with a 08 Ford 150 and only got 10 MPG, less mileage than that would scare anyone off from a motorhome. Thanks soooo much for telling us what to expect in MPG. I think I will stick to my TT for local and hit the motels for long distance.Thanks again.Re: Anyone make a mistake buying first MH ?We are also considering a motorhome but I have different fears. I don't want to buy diesel but am afraid of gas mileage with gas. We are looking at a 1999 Winnebago Chieftain 36ft with two slides it has a gas engine. Does anyone know what kind of gas mileage it would get. The salesman says 12-15 MPG but I don't put too much stock in him since I'm sure we have rookie wrote all over us. Thanks in advance.
