I am never so rushed I can't spend a few minutes adjusting the steps or cleaning them off when packing up. If you don't like 'em don't get 'em. In our case, when the 5th wheel is home we don't have the room to use them. It's not a matter of "to each his own, adjusting, etc." -..:S As the poster states above: "when the fifth wheel is home we don't have the room to use them" (whether we like the design or not). House on one side - block wall on the other side. Approx 36" avail on each side. Even with the 3-step fold out - bottom step is about one to two inches from side of house or block wall. ~817Views0likes0CommentsRe: Residency and voters rights in South Dakota
Easy solution (answers): Call Americas Mailbox in Box Elder. They built their own campground from "scratch" - Spent big $ on same. They should be very tuned in to the "situation" & your concerns! Nice, well informed & helpful folks. :C1.4KViews0likes0CommentsRe: where to find replacement trailer furniture?
goducks10 wrote: Almost all backs come off recliners. Thats how they're shipped. Takes up less room that way. As mentioned stay away from RV furniture and go to your local furniture store. Where did you get your home furniture? Ditto the above. EVERY recliner I have ever purchased for home or RV was in the two parts described above (including "wall-huggers"). Shop at a furniture store that specializes in recliners - or even COSTCO. As far as the sofa - the backs (futon style - or hide-a-bed) backs are also removable. For hide-a-bed remove the mattress also due to the weight. An assistant helps for those. Have taken all of the above in/out of standard RV entry doors. :C .574Views0likes0CommentsRe: RV Wholesalers - reviews/opinions wanted
Quadcab wrote: RV Wholesalers? First of all, they are not a wholesaler at all. They offer discounted pricing to draw people in from all over the country, and then you MUST finance with their people to get the "deal". Things may have changed since I dealt with them over 10 years ago, but the one thing I would say is never ever special order a unit from them. Our experience was disappointing to say the least - wrong cabinet wood, no PDI to speak of, wrong interior color scheme, many interior quality issues. After waiting months for this particular unit & travelling over 5 hours to get there, I did not stand my ground like I should have and took the TT home. The lack of communication between the salesmen there and us led to most of our issues - they could have been dealt with much sooner over the phone or via text/email. I know others have had a much better experience with them, but as for me and my family, never again! I was about to travel to RV Wholesalers.....but then I learned ANY dealer can be a "wholesaler" - IF the dealer chooses to do so. Soooo.... I "shopped" numerous dealers (no distance limitations) for the best deal on EXACTLY what I wanted. When you find the price/dealer who wants your business.....you must decide is it worth the savings to travel -or- not?? Now - "re-shop" your local dealers. Will the local dealer meet or beat your "benchmark" price? Or come close to it? I'm in CA and my experience is opposite of quadcab's post. I traveled to Montana to complete the purchase once I had a contract in hand. Minimal deposit. The dealer used a mobile RV service for the PDI, which was very thorough. The DW and I spent two nights on the dealers lot - then a week at a local campground. I did call the mobile RV once during that time - which was simply something (mechanical) which I didn't understand. My bad! Prompt response -no charge- all well. At that time Jayco had a 2-year factory warranty, which I never needed. Would I do the same again - You Bet !! Caveat: The above applies if you are ORDERING the RV you want. If you must "have it now" - a unit on the dealers lot, you are in direct competition with everyone/anyone who also may wish to "negotiate" for that unit. Sometimes that may work out OK (to your satisfaction) - but you probably will pay more. Happy hunting. :B ..:B.. ~2.5KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Battery

After reading the OP's post - I was wondering the same. (???) Maybe he left out *not* connected to shore power.:h .638Views0likes0Comments
