Thanks Eric!
In prep mode today. Just dug out a spare 50a 14-50R box, some cable, and a breaker I have. I'm going to install it on the outbuilding next to where I'll park the RV at mom's. Only down side to the service to that outbuilding is that it's only 30A 240V instead of 50A 240V. I could run a new shot to the house but I think we can get by on 30A. If need be, I'll just put the hot water and refer on propane when the AC's are running. I'll also be limited to 2 AC's instead of all 3. Not the end of the world for sure. That will save me a lot of rewiring as everything I need is right there, 20' from the rig. In the end, being 240V, I'll really have 60A of 120V available. 30A on each leg.

Rodney, congratulations on the pending sale. If my wife and I had to full time in my RV she (the wife, not the RV) would need a steady supply of valium.

I agree with all the repairs done to fifth wheel from broken screws etc costing $800 the last trip. I69 around north end of Lansing is where we have our problems most of the time
moved to current location and the only road that is bad from what I have found is I69 just north of Anderson

Yep, that's exactly what they want, even though we told them we were ordering. The issue with them stocking double pane is that they can't compete on bottom price with dealer xyz that doesn't have double pane windows. Our cost for double pane was right at $1k on the 311. We'll never see that in savings since we don't pay for electric, and don't camp that much when it's really cold, but the comfort and quietness are worth it to me. When we were looking, I talked with several dealerships. One of them wanted 20% deposit to order, another (our second choice) wanted 10%, and the dealer we ordered from wanted just $1k, which is just the cost of the double pane windows, the only "odd" option from what they usually stock. Had we ordered standard windows, there wouldn't have been a deposit!
Congrats on the sale buddy! Hope it all goes smooth for you!

I'm trying to be realistic Lee. Building takes 7-9 months so it's going to be a haul in the RV. The good news for us is we have the XLR. Some folks buy a generic RV to live in while they build. I have the exact RV I always wanted to live in while I build. The stress is real but it's a first world problem for sure...
