RE: New RV'r looking for help on extended warranty
I am currently looking into an extended 6 year warranty that includes tires/wheels. Even with a $250 deductible the total cost per year is almost what a new tire might cost me on the road without a policy. As already mentioned, it is a risk venture. If your RV holds up 'forever' so be it. I have a great relationship with the RV repair shop I deal with as I do not work with the dealer I bought it from. I have seen many units coming in and their issues. When I learn the total cost to repair/replace in those units I do believe an extended warranty will work for me, unless of course there is a smoke and mirrors scenario.

RE: Considering upgrade from TT
From two PUPs to a 2006 ROO 21SS and now the Sunseeker. Out on the road every chance I get and also Camp Driveway whenever the urge is there. During Hurricane Irene I lived in it for 6 days while the power was out. There are pros and cons but right now I am pleased with the change.

RE: Cable TV
Yes, exactly.
Whenever I am having difficulty getting any good channels on a cable hook-up the first thing I check is the antenna booster. When it is left on it defeats the cable signal. Of course checking all the coax connections is important as well.

RE: The best thing about a "C".....
I am still in the transition/learning curve process. But after 7 trips already this year and many more booked I am having a great time. I have not yet experienced the pull in at oh-dark-thirty with no need to set-up or leaving in the AM with nothing to do but unhook the electric. I still like to put out a lot of stuff even on a weekend. I am looking forward to extended road trips and spur of the moment ones and know the MH will be great for that.

RE: Windsheild Cover?
Although I gave away all my Reflectix inserts for the ROO I still had enough left over to do the cab over bunk, all three roof vents, the master bedroom and the bathroom skylight. The latter creates enough heat to feel like the bathroom is on the Sun! The Reflectix is then removed as necessary while camping.

RE: Onan Generator PDF Links (free service manuals)
Thanks for the info. Fortunately since my MH is only 6 months old I can still find my original manual!

RE: Windsheild Cover?
I bought the ADCO cover soon after my purchase as I realized the standard privacy curtain did a good job but was not fully functional. I bought the model with the screened panels and love it. Easy on/off and boy does it reduce the temps in the cab from the sun beating on the windshield.

RE: 2007 Sunseeker 3100SS Pre-Purchase Question
Yeppers. That is what both of mine do. Took a little getting used to compared to the super slide on my ROO.

RE: replacing onan onboard generator
Interesting that you would post this. I just got done running my on board and also my portable genny for the monthly 2 hours. I was discussing the same thing with a neighbor more so regarding the Honda type genny which are of course much quieter. I am not a techie but I would think a true portable genny might not hold up given the 'on the road' experience. However, I may be wrong. Guess there will be some here that have modified or exchanged one and we'll learn.

RE: Class C Pros and Cons
I would offer that although I do not have "buyer's remorse" regarding my Class C has been a learning curve. Two PUPs and a ROO 21SS were always easy to tow but a lot of energy in setting up. I also have logistic issues with my driveway access. I really wanted a new 32' TT or 5er which would have required a truck upgrade as well. Getting the MH into my driveway is a bit easier. Currently I do not have a toad but while camping with friends and/or proper trip planning I manage. My MH has become my Mobile Man Cave.

RE: Leveling a Class C
I have noticed leveling the RV has been a bit more difficult from time to time than a TT. I am still on the learning curve regarding how the front end seems to sit lower than the rest of the RV after I believe I am level. Nothing extreme mind you but I know I am off. Auto levelers would have been nice but I am saving my money for a toad!

RE: generator
I was surprised when I discovered the over cab/dinette flat screen TV was not on 12V. The two TVs in the back are. An inexpensive converter from Amazon.com did the trick with no sine wave issues for the TV or any other electronic device Forest River did install two 12V receptacles in that area of the RV which was better than needing to plug it into the dashboard receptacles. On another note, I know folks mention using their generator while driving when using the living area A/C for passenger comfort. So far I have found the cab A/C working to the back extremely well on several longer trips.

RE: How often do you use your shower?
I had my ROO five seasons and I always took a shower in it. Even when CG bath houses are 5 star rated there is something to be said about privacy before and after as well as convenience.

RE: the time may have come
The 3170DSF is not a bunk model but has the extra sleeping space in the Kid's Zone. I love it even though my kids are grown and no longer come with me on most trips. I bought it for possibilities rather than limitations.

RE: Monitor Panel
I used to stress over those lights. It took several years, but I finally realized that the system is cheap junk that will never work.
Now, I ignore all of them.
I can open a door and check the propane level at the tank.
I can open a door and check the fresh water level at the tank.
I can open a door and check the gray tank level.
I can look down the toilet and see the black tank level.
If the lights are bright, the batteries are good.
I never use the monitor panel anymore. the GOAL (Get Out And Look) system is always perfect!
Roger that. Should be in sync with KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid).

RE: Valve stem?
When I bought mine I was somewhat surprised and disappointed at the positioning of all the valve stems on the rear wheels. I have read the pros/cons regarding valve extensions, fabric versus solid. I know the Tireman valve stems will be in my future. For now, I do the best I can with the wheel covers on and take them off when I am having a more difficult time putting air in. I also had the crazy notion that I could change the rear tires even in my driveway. Did give it a try. Unless I buy a professional jack that isn't happening either. AAA and Good Sam will be changing my tires!

RE: Mountain of TP in black tank
Prior to stepping up to the Class C I was a big fan of the Tornado on my ROO. Never subscribed to the GEO method as a stand alone cleaning system. However, I found GEO to be a very good supplement if not a total cleaning system over time. The black tank set-up in the Sunseeker does not allow an easy Tornado install and the angle and drop of the drain pipe disallows back-flushing. So, currently GEO is my only resource with a tank wand as back-up. I do believe GEO makes a big dif. Use it liberally.

RE: How do you level your rig?
The five years I had my ROO in the driveway I never once had a reefer issue. When I brought home the Sunseeker I leveled it off and then went camping two weeks later. Once back home my thoughts were since the middle of the coach where the reefer was located was for the most part level, I would not level up the front tires. My driveway only has a slight grade at the street. Then within 24 hours my reefer was not cold. Checked all the fuses and everything else. No go. Took it to the dealer. No problems while at the dealer. Hmmmm? Guess I was a stupid new Class C owner. Took it home and did not level it up. The dealer had seen my driveway and advised it was 'level' and should not affect the reefer. Once again, no reefer cooling. Grrrr. I do some quick RV.Net thread review and learn how the fluid can pool and overheat the unit if not properly leveled. So, at midnight I am out there leveling the rig. I do need about 5" up front to give me a just off the bubble level. Voila. Back to a cold reefer. So, being level does have benefits and/or consequences.
