Re: Interior vs Exterior Solar Shade
We have a 2014 38Q. Came with the same MCDs as yours. I installed Sun Guard shades on the exterior windshield and front side windows. Best of both worlds. Our S&B is in inland SoCal. I use the rig as a man cave while there. 105 is common is Summer. The Sun Guards made a difference. I don't bother with them on more temperate days/months. Enjoy your rig. I hope you missed out on the lousy Lippert slides and levelers.1KViews0likes0CommentsRe: From diesel to gas.

We love the floor plan in both our current and former gassers, and since like most RV'ers, we spend far more time living in it than driving it, the ride and noise level doesn't bother us enough to consider another DP. Almost our exact experience. Ford V10 is loud when you "step on it." Otherwise handles fine.278Views0likes0CommentsRe: Actual Gas Mileage

Loaded up to the GVWR of 26K and the 4K of the toad (also loaded with miscellaneos gear) for a net of 30K. Took a 7000 mile coast to coast roundtrip. uphill driving got 5.5 and downhill 6.7. 13000 total miles and 6.2 is what we get. Learned to be happy with that and not expecting better.366Views0likes0CommentsRe: Step Stabilizers
I have one of each. Two seemed to do the trick better after a rivet was lost in the scissor mechanism of our Kwikee Triple Steps. Both are adjustable with the screw top after getting a rough adjustment with the pins. Each one has a different pin mechanism. The Camco has a spring loaded push pin on for the holes on two sides. The other has a removable pin on a lanyard that goes through both holes.503Views0likes0CommentsRe: IS GS INSURANCE WORTH HAVING? OR ANOTER CHOICE BETTER?
We have GS. GS is only putting their name on National General Insurance. Not sure if their is actually a group discount as I haven't priced it. I like the "gap" insurance since we have a new rig. For a time they will give you a brand new unit if totaled. After the 2-3 years, I think, they give you one a year newer than yours. Bear in mind that to total an RV that costs over 100K is a very major accident. Had one claim two years ago when they were GMAC that took longer than I expected but they were in the process of GMAC being absorbed by NG. Premiums haven't risen in the past three or four years. Both of our california cars are also on that policy. I think they are probably as good as most.0Views0likes0Comments
