RE: Plasma or LCD
I have 50" PLASMA in the house. great pic,but it weight about 2x that of a LCD.
and it emits ALOT of heat.
I will go with an LCD next time.I have one in the 5er and love it
you could look into the newer LED LCD's and see if you like them.

RE: Are Awinings useful or are they just something to have
Mine was broken for the Labor Day weekend.
I had to pull out the old EZ-Up.
Pain in the arse. needless to say I have it
in to be fixed before next outing.
I use it EVERY time i'm out.

RE: Levelers or levelers??
I use them or blocks of wood to help yes.
the more closed the "Scissor" jacks are the
more it will cut down on trailer movement

RE: Mako 5th wheels
I've had mine for a year and the only real complaints are:
1.Stock water pump was WAY too loud.
2.Stock mattress needed upgrading
3.Had to add 2nd Battery (not included)
Other than that the family and I LOVE this thing.
It's not as easy to store as our Pop-up
But hey we wanted something bigger.

RE: telescopic spring shocks under bed
I would try an auto parts store.
NAPA or McMaster-Carr is where I found some for a similar project.

RV Bumper Hitch
I'm looking into adding a cargo tray to the back of my 5er.
(I know weight issues).
I was gonna weld 2 recievers to the frame rails then
attach the tray that way.
But today while at my storage unit I saw a CURT unit in the TT
parked next to me I figure if I used 2 of them on my 4" bumper
it might work. I think I got the link right check it out.
My tray weighs in it at 60lbs with the hitch material.
I'd like to mount my 2 honda 2000's and 2 adult mtn bikes.
I'm sure someone will chime in with some useful remarks so Please fire away.

RE: battery size question
Use what is best for you.
I used a 24 in my PUP for 4 years
Never thought about upgrading.
In my 5er I have a single 27 and will likely go to 2
or switch over to 6V this summer
With the move aren't you gonna have to rewire the leads to your TV?
Not that it'll be tough.Not to mention what happen in a rear impact?

RE: BBQ Grill Suggestions, Cooking for 5 ???
My Weber Q has never failed me and my 3 girls.
I usually have room for more.
you can get the leg attachment or use it on a table top
It comes with a handy cover or you can get a storage bag.

RE: A sleeping bed ?
I have a sleep number at home. BEST bed ever!
In the 5er I have the standard (short) queen from factory.
I went to the local foam shop and bought a 4 inch memory foam
(waffle pattern)and while it's not the sleep number it sure works for me.
I can't see spenning the 1K for the 5er mattress.
This was like $250 foam.
