I would think that he would also owe the guys in the SUV for a new package of underwear.

And don't forget . . . I have brought those socks (**** those **** socks) back to Colorado after two years of them sweltering in the Arizona heat!

And they will be changing hands at the 2016 Buena Vista Spring Rally!

And according to Garry (our Grand Poo Bah) . . . they (socks) are to stay here in Colorado . . .

Forever!


Cathy won't let me bring them (socks) into our house . . . so I need to get them out of our Prowler . . . NOW!

DOH!

Question regarding "Cheap Heat" by RV Comfort
Has anyone installed or had this installed? If so what is your experience?
I am considering having this added to my new Sundance when I pick it up...it runs about $499 for the unit plus a couple hours of labor.
The main advantage is it works off your furnace and turns it from propane to electric at the flip of a switch...so your under belly area is
heated as well vs if you use a fireplace or space heater you only heat the living area of the RV. Not sure I really need this as I don't use the RV
in freezing conditions, but thought it was a really great idea and could be used on extremely cold nights when parked at the barn in the winter.
Any comments are welcomed.....Thanks

I like that idea of using Cheap Heat to keep the trailer warm while in the barn. In January, I was running the furnace on our unit in the back yard to keep it warm. Would have been a lot easier if on electric instead of propane.

 

[Doublegranch]

Thanks everyone...sent out the PM's and will wait for their response.
I am thinking if nothing else, it is a good cold winter insurance policy.

There is a lot of truth in this. I think he learned that first hand. He did practice drinking a bit.

* Always do sober what you said you would do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut.- Ernest Hemingway

Introducing the newest addition to the Ranch: AKA "The Aussie House" as named by Dakota & Cheyenne! 2017 Sundance 3100CK.."Camp Kitchen" The first one off the line!

Wow...it was a fast 7 day trip from the ranch to Elkhart and return. Total of 1894 miles one way, total miles for the trip was 3984 with short side trips..
I got 22.4 MPG going and a total average for the return at 12 MPG, thought I would break 12 but the AZ elevation from NM kept me down...I was running 13.7 across Indiana and Illinois but then hit major head winds all throughout Nebr and NE Colo, that took a toll at 10.4 MPG
Went through two storms from "****" in Colo but MPG increased to 12.7 from North of Denver and southbound.
The Andersen Ultimate 2 hitch was wonderful....didn't even know the coach was behind me...no chucking, swaying even in the heavy winds. Hooking and unhooking was a breeze, pull the adapter handle, drop the front legs and let the level up system do it's "magic". I am so happy!!

The coach lists at 12' 4" but I had it measured twice when hooked up to the 2016 Ram on a level garage floor at the dealer and it is 13' 3" from the front AC to the ground with the hitch set on the lowest setting.

The internet is really slow but will attempt to put up a few pictures of the Sundance's arrival at the barn! Pending a new shade facility to be made as it won't fit inside the 10' doors!
Have to resize the pictures.....posting shortly

Glad you had a good trip. We are waiting patiently for pictures. We are looking forward to seeing it in Sept.
