I took out the sofa in the curb side slide out and built this tv lift cabinet with fireplace and storage on each side.  Used the doors off of my old rv fridge to make the cabinet doors to match the others.

These are the theater seats that we put in place of our reclining sofa.  The two recliners together are a total of 70 inches wide, which was almost exactly the width of the sofa.  They are powered recliners with power headrests that raise up and out.  I'm 6'5" and needed a high back recliner to...

Yes, we use the AT&T Netgear Nighthawk Hot Spot.  It works great.

Condition and maintenance are more important than high miles on a diesel coach.  If the floor plan fits your needs and the coach has been maintained well and is in good condition with all systems working, I wouldn't be afraid of the high miles on a diesel.  You can use the NADA LOW price...

Bill, I bought my previous Motorhome from the PPL consignment lot in Houston.  I lived in it full time, for part of the time, between 2011 to 2018.  I was pleased with their handling of my purchase in 2011.  In 2018 I bought another Motorhome from an individual and took my American Dream back...

I was 17 years old, just graduated from high school and watched it with my parents and 2 younger brothers on our old black and white tv.

You might look at the Ram 1500 Eco Diesel.  It would tow that weight trailer easily and I've heard reports of mileage in the mid teens towing a trailer that size if you keep the speed in the 60 - 65 MPH range.

I think you are asking for trouble trying to pull 7,000 pounds with a gas coach that is only rated to pull 5,000 pounds and I don't know of any gas coach rated to pull more than 5,000.  The question is not whether or not the gas coach CAN pull that much weight, it probably would have the power...

Pat, Sorry I didn't see your post before. If you are doing a similar project I'll be glad to offer any help I can.  You may have already done it and, if so, post some pictures of your build.  It was a fun project for me to do and I love the new setup. Dan

I have replaced the RV fridge in 2 different Motorhomes and it does depend on the door size and configuration.  The first one was in my 2000 American Dream, and the RV fridge would not go out through the door, even with the passenger seat removed.  I had to remove the curb side window, take off...

Don, I have a 2005 Vectra and had the same problem recently.  The problem was the hot water line check valve.  Access to it is difficult  and is done through an opening underneath the coach below and behind the hot water heater.  The opening is about 3 or 4 inches wide and 9 or 10 inches long. ...

Yes it is a shame that they lost him.  His name was Wilson and he built some beautiful valances for the front of our American Dream back in 2014 when we had the shades installed.  I was so disappointed that he was no longer there.

Thank you for your reply.  She's been well cared for and looks pretty good for 14 years old.  We like her and hope to get many more years of adventures with her.

Thanks John, and yes, I will.  I had MCD shades installed in my American Dream back in 2014 and I did love them.  I didn't realize how much until I got the Vectra and it didn't have them.  Now I can't wait to get them installed on the Winnie.  I'm gonna have to modify the front TV cabinet that...

Oh, and I forgot.  I do still have a dining table.  It is beside the theater seating.  I am currently working and using the dining table as my work table, so I have a couple of TV trays in between the dining table and the theater seats where I have my printer set up.  Both of the dining chairs...
