    the guides are supposed to have a locking mechanism on them- ours have failed, at least it will stay shut when we travel. when were in Elkhart I went over to my friends wood shop and made two blocks for each end of the desk to keep it open until the factory can send me the correct guides.

    we really like our big windows- it was a selling point for me. we down sized quite a bit and really don't need the extra cabinet space- the windows are nice and makes the camper feel open

    What are your preferences for a towing vehicle?

    I would also think long term- are you going to get a bigger camper in the next few years? when I went from a 1500 to a 2500 gasser I should've gone to a diesel because I knew we would end up with a fifth wheel down the road (LOL)

    What did you do to your camper today?

    I did the hitch myself in about 30 minutes- it fit in nicely. the camera went even easier- there was a mount already and all had to do was unscrew the existing cover, plug in the camera and screw it into the mount. I plugged in the camera and the image showed up with no issues.

    FORD check coolant additive message

    correct on the timed message- I read its about 600 hours. I just purchased it and hopefully the dealer checked it when they did the service on it. I was curious if I could get the test strips or kit as the dealer was unaware of any.
