My question is if I just get the gold, will they leave my trailer behind? or will they tow the whole unit? If all the extra the platinum covers is flat repair on the trailer, I can do that myself before they could get there.
** full explaination & question**
I went to inspect my "new to me" unit today, the 99 I listed in my tag line. All went well, the pump that operates the slide, and the pump that operates the feet both had oil on them (not much, just enough to attract dirt), as well as what looked like a solenoid under the drivers compartment. I knew they wouldn't replace those, but I had to ask, it was still better than any unit I've seen in the last 6 months of determined searching. I'll have to look at it again later, then post pics to see what people think I should do with the areas. Over all it looked great, everything either worked or they fixed it, a little oil doesn't get it replaced though. It didn't shift until 4,000 rpm's that seemed high to me, but I remember reading on here, if it revs higher, it does the hills better, it settled down to 2500 rpms at 60mph. I got my insurance, but didn't want to drive it away until I had my CoachNet in place. But when I got on the site, it gave me a choice, I was tempted to go for the platinum as I will be pulling a small trailer with my Motorcycle. I've read too many stories on here about what I wanted to do; put a lift on the back and drive the bike onto that, a 750lb bike = one bad idea on a gasser. So, I decided to buy a light folding motorcycle trailer, 290lbs. My box trailer is too big, heavy and not needed. I don't want my Ram Full size crew cab PU loaded with my bike as it is too heavy and I really only want the bike.
So my question is; if I just get the gold, will they leave my trailer behind? or will they tow the whole unit? If all the extra on the platinum covers is flat repair, I can do that myself before they could get there. The platinum adds trailer insurance, and insurance if I should decide to pull my other unit (19 ft prowler travel trailer that was delivered to me there at the farm, I've never pulled it.) back to FTW for anything. What about that emergency and medical assistance, anybody ever have to use that or even know what it it?
Anyway, the dealer said I could leave it there and PU the unit on the 4th if I like, so tonight I have to decide on Gold or Platinum then PU my new toy in the morning. Suggestions?
And thanks again everyone for all ya'll have done over the years to help others here. I've learned a lot from articles written over 5 years ago. Since I signed the papers on this thing, I joined then I've poured over this site, read most of the library, used the motor home checklist, and have really enjoyed learning all these new things. Thanks!
