Pretty much the same for us.

We did add the 3rd ac for the back and residential package. During covid the power saver AC had no eta so we had to move to a 7kw gen to power all 3 ac's.

Auto leveling is the shit with the trailers, would never get one with out it now
Once you get it and you hear a poping noise when they are setup, you will need to add some oil additive to the hydraulics , you can search it on the web

I had to add air bags on my f-350 too, was surprised how much it sagged it.

You guys are going to love it.... Enjoy...
Happen to know your tongue weight. Mine is supposedly 3200. I’m going to pick it up without bags and see what happens. I have the 4 leaf pack including the overload. So I might be ok without.

It says I'm 2900. Your seems high and if you look at the chart yours is the highest of them in that series.

I still would think helper bags will help, my truck is now 6 yrs old so the new ones might be different. But to get the smooth ride unloaded the springs are really progressive, so when you add some weight you sag pretty good to hit those overload springs. I drove from Phoenix home when picking it up without bags and when hitting dips I didn't like the bounce and then the loose steering I had with the nose up.

Bags made it better, and I have the Firestone Ride Right system so I didn't have to mess with filling the bags manually.

3817’s for the win! Love the 6 pt hydraulic level and those Valcrum oil hub caps. Currently mapping out (RV Parky) next summers trip to Mount Rushmore.

The layout is great, love having the kitchen that looks out the door side.

As for the Valcrum oil hub caps, 1 axle is oil bath with the red cap and the other axle is sealed with the grey cap. You have the same? I thought that was weird.

How is the residential fridge working for you? Ours has worked great, so much better than a rv fridge. I did add straps that cross the doors to keep them from opening.

Did Rushmore last year. Awesome trip and can’t wait to do it again. Don’t skip Crazy Horse. We might be doing South Dakota again mid may when the kids get out of school. Not to busy at that time.

Any car soap in a foam cannon tied to a pressure washer will do that.....
Just bought a 37 Thor Outlaw, my last coach was 38ft. and I was 20 years younger, had no problem hand washing it all the time, now not so much.
Thanks

I get it....You can wash anything in the heat of summer with no spots though.
Some of the other di systems produce more gallons than the CR spotless. Dirinse is about 2000 gallons for the small one.

Which one are you using? For cars and our class A would the med output work?

I am assuming this is used after washing by just hooking it up to the hose and then into the pressure washer to rinse?

Thanks!
I have the DIC 20, but use it all the time just not rinse only. But the rinse is what is needed after soap.

My father has the DWI 10 in his motorhome to wash at campgrounds.

Couple questions...what soap are you using to wash it and what is the campsite in the 2nd to last picture?

Thanks!

I use SunJoe Snow Foam or Chemical Guys Honeydew. Both found on Amazon.

Castle Gate RV Park in Helper UT. It was a really nice campground. Stopped for the night but could’ve stayed a couple of days.
