RE: So, what do I need?
We already had TT's before our coach so we learned quite a bit there. We have a certain amount of plastic dishes (read unbreakable and lightweight) some pots and pans, silverware and we always stock up on paper plates, paper bowls, paper towels,disposable forks, spoons and knives. We use the plastic dishes when we are having a really nice meal like say a steak dinner. We use all the disposable stuff for the campfire meals like hot dogs, etc. We also stocked our coach with its own supply of bath towels, washcloths, hand-towels, sheets, pillows and blankets. That way the only things besides food and the paper products mentioned above that we need to bring are our cloths. We are even coming up with a plan to keep some cloths in the coach regularly so we won't have to move that stuff out too! Gives us a quick run out the door if we have an opportunity to camp! definitely bring some sort of a rug for by the door.
I agree with the others, bring a note pad and a pen. Write things down that you feel you want to buy or more importantly (and I think this is the best) things you want to make. It is pretty exciting to come up with a solution of your own and implement it. With that said, read these threads, they are full of information and ideas and I am certain you will want to do some of what these people have done:

What did you do to your Class A MH today???
If you look at my signature, there are a couple things I added and you will want to consider some in the future.
Oh yea, we also have a couple inexpensive oscillating table fans that we use mostly to keep mosquitoes off us...the fans just blow them away from us!

RE: Manual levelers
I would say that for stabilizing, yes. For leveling, no. You might have to bring some lumber to drive the wheels on for leveling then use the scissors for stabilizing.

RE: adding amps and subs
Thanks for all the advice. System is intalled and working. Sounds fantastic.
We removed the 20" crt from the overhead, above the drivers seat, replaced it with a 26" HD LED, mounted on a swing arm so it can be moved to the center for better viewing. New system consists of, Alpine head unit, four 6 1/2" speakers in ceiling, two alpine amps, four channel for ceiling speakers, one two channel for 10" jl audio sub and box, mnounted in the cabinet behind the new TV.
Wow...photos?

RE: adding amps and subs
What other devices are nearby, refrigerator, etc? You might have to run a longer (larger gauge) cable up front if you can't picky-back off any 12 volt circuits.

RE: The Un-Official Class A Picture thread
Our campsite up at Lamb's Resort in Minnesota on Lake Superior. My coach on the right and our Camping Buddies TT on the left:

And this is what it looked like from the lake looking up at our site:

And here's a morning view of Lake Superior just down from our campsite. Notice the Rock Sculpture....my son and his two friends waded out to that rock (about 30' in c-c-c-cold water) and built that there:

RE: Ford and WH Chassis ?
I would not buy a Workhorse chassis based motorhome at all. The Workhorse brake fiasco has destroyed the reputation of Workhorse and to me Workhorse no longer cares about their customers. If I was looking for a new or used motorhome it would have another brand chassis. They all have had their problems but, no chassis manufaturer that I know of let a potential fatal brake recall linger for as many years as Workhorse has. I lot of times I am asked what is a good motorhome brand for consideration and I tell them just make sure it does not have a Workhorse chassis under it.
That's a pretty broad brush you are placing on Workhorse. I give you that they dropped the ball on the brake issue and it too concerns me but the fix will be soon (finally) and I believe that. It is also fact that there was a long standing battle between Bosch and Workhorse where they were pointing fingers at each other and ultimately it turns out that Workhorse was correct in pointing their finger at Bosch who are now in the midst of manufacturing the new parts for the recall. Looking past the brakes, the Workhorse chassis is a great chassis with the 8.1 liter engine and Allison tranny, you can't go wrong. If the op looks for Workhorse coaches that are not just sitting for long periods of times, most likely he will do fine with one. The brake issue comes into play (most times) when the coach has sat unused. The one thing that having a Workhorse has done for me, and I believe this is good, is I have learned how to use the transmission to slow down and use the brakes sparingly which we all should do regardless of chassis!

RE: Ford and WH Chassis ?
Sigh....I knew this would become a bashing session! Mine is a WH chassis and so far no problems. There are some that have had many issues with the brakes and others (like me that have not).

RE: Motorhome for sale with price just too good...???
Say you want to go over and inspect it, or send an inspection agency to look at it. You'll be told it's already in a shipping container ready to ship to you.
If so, scam... scam... scam.
If not, ask them what's wrong with it.
Yep! I've messed with people listing these kinds of listings!
If it sounds too good to be true then it usually is....

RE: Automatic Generator Question?
It appears that I do not have this feature, but further investigation has led me to an add-on by Onan called EC-30W Autostart.

Automatic Generator Question?
For those of you that have the automatic generator feature on your coach, how does that work? Is there a dash switch that you set or is it a switch on the genny itself? I have a 2004 Damon Intruder with an Onan 5500 Marquis Gold generator and I was trying to determine if A) do I have the option now and just don't know it and B) is it something I can upgrade if I do not have it yet?
Thanks
