We are real happy with it so far, quality seems very good, and even in 90 deg heat, the 2 ac's cool her down quick. KZ now has the Gold series, which are nicer.

 

Is the front AC ducted or does it dump in the bedroom?

 

It is ducted, and also has the slide vents, so you can dump most of the air in for a faster cool down.

 

Awesome, this is great to hear and that is half the battle having something that work out and hope you have many years of fun with it.

 

Nice Rig Scott. I know your post is from January but I have to ask, have you since adjusted your hitch height? Looks like you are nose low and that would put undue stress on your front trailer axle.

 

cool. Did you plan on getting a dually going in to it

 

Not big, fast or fancy. Certainly not new. But the set up has that rare "paid in full" option.

 

that’s the best feature any rig can have

 

Shiny, paid it in full and none of the corners are rounded too!

 

For the most part I was figuring on upgrading to an F450 to insure plenty of capacity. Especially since this 5th wheel is a bit nose heavy.

 

Love my rockwood (8282ws) fifth wheel too. Like yours, not new but paid off

 

An 83 year old Flathead nation indian pulled out in front of us while traveling 50 mph on a 55 mph hwy 28 near Hot Springs, MT 5 weeks ago . I had 2 seconds of braking before impact.
We managed to limp home. No damage to the 5th wheel (inspected, at a cost to his insurance company)

The elderly gent gave us his insurance info but he didn't want our, he knew he was at fault. Ironically, after researching his name, he wrote a Flathead Indian book call "Afterlife dreams of Flathead indians". Well, he almost put himself into the afterlife!
If it were 1 second sooner we would have t-boned him and he would have been dead. His 1998 Chevy Blazer did not roll (almost) but was pushed into ditch.

Interesting enough, I always wondered how I'd react to 19,000 lbs of metal braking in an emergency situation and how I'd react. Well, I sure as hell wasn't going to go in the ditch, so it was "here we go, impact!" which ended up being roughly 35 mph by the time we braked.

Photos of damage. I took a lot of photos of the accident scene since the Sheriffs do no come to accident scenes in MT unless there is injuries or fatalities.
No one hurt. Dogs okay.

The insurance company did not total it thankfully, as the market value for a low mileage 7.3L Ford in this condition is $20-$23k.
Fast foward 5 week later.

We got Gilda back! (dads name for the 2000 F350 7.3L turbo diesel that I bought from him in 2018). She's a ripe old age of 20 years and 106,000 miles now (just broke in?)

The Ranch Hand grill guard is on backorder so she has to go back in the shop in Oct on the Indian's insurance company dime. The ranch hand is what saved the intercooler, transmission cooler and radiator from imploding. So glad I put this critter guard on back 2 years ago. Little did I know it was an indian I'd hit.

Total cost was $6000 (plus $3500 for the rental truck we used during the time) Why 5 weeks? Hartford Insurance, the insurer of the gent we hit) dropped the ball and "forgot" about the claim.
I even got a call from the head office in Connecticut apologizing for the claim agents failures.

I gave her a hot wax in the shade, put her away wet. She's happy to be home.

 

There's a guy up here from Texas who has a fiver with a double slide out in the bedroom,

 

Big Mak, I am glad you and yours are OK as well as the other driver.

 

Not the best pic but mine and my uncle’s setup from a recent trip.
