Re: Looking at a new Avalanche 361TG

I live where we have some pretty good hills and it was usually the coming down that made me a little uncomfortable.311Views0likes0CommentsRe: Looking at a new Avalanche 361TG
Jim, I have a 2014 360RB Avalanche, purchased May 2013, very similar to the one you are looking at. When I purchased it I had 2010 Chevy Crew Cab Short Bed 2500 Duramax. While the Duramax pulled and stopped the Avalanche ok, there were times that I felt that it pushed the truck around more than I was comfortable with. After a year of pulling with the Duramax, I upgraded to a 2014 Ram 3500 Dually Cummins, purchased May 2014. In the 8 months since getting the dually I must say that I feel that me and my family are much safer. Did I really need a dually? Probably not but the stability is well worth it to me, I do not feel that I am being pushed anymore. Sure hope this helps in your decision process, good luck.311Views0likes0CommentsRe: Bunk Mattresses - Cedar Creek
Have you thought about memory foam? You should be abe to get two beds with one King size, they are typically 79" long X 75" wide. Twin measurements are typically 79" l X 38" W. Memory foam cuts real easy with an electric carving knife. Good luck and happy camping.282Views0likes0CommentsRe: Looking for inexpensive upgrade for bunk mattresses....
I also recommend trying to buy as big of one as you can with the hopes of cutting it and fitting both beds. Should be able to measure the two to determine if you are able to do that. Memory foam is very easy to cut with an electric carving knife. I recently cut a king down to fit an RV king with rounded corners, took longer to take the matteres out than it did to cut the memory foam. Good luck and happy camping!95Views0likes0CommentsRe: How do we keep 2 yr old from opening screen door?

RV's are fire hazards at best with limited exits. I put a hook and eye on the top of the screen door. Small drill hole and twist the eye and hook in place. Keeps pets in also and helps keep out perhaps a stray bad guy that might appear during the day. :W You can easily move the handle by putting your hand through the opening of the screen door, you know the little sliding door thing that allows you to lock your door from the inside, it only takes a moment to reach through the sliding opening, lift the handle up, and swing the handle out.322Views0likes0Comments
