Barry,

I looked at your installation of your front TV. I think that is great setup and a nice work. I like the shelf under it to support the weight better as you drive down the road, makes sense to give is some additional support. Sure wouldn't want it to fall down on you when you are driving.

Bruce and Sharon (Sharon is my wife's name also),

I find the Euro chairs very uncomfortable for me. I'm long torsoed so I can't rest my arms on the arm rests. We have a pair of Stressless chairs and I find them hard to sit in, much prefer my recliner.

If we end up going with  PC I well probably ask for the chair to be omitted. I like the sofa that can be used as a recliner and would spend most of my sitting time there. In our present MH we have a sofa but it makes into a bed with an air mattress. Just like a sleep number bed. I find that it is not very comfortable so I use the passenger seat turned to around with a small ottoman.

Thanks for everybody's replies.

Butch

If your tank heaters are the same as my Winnebago they are DC(battery) operated and the don't draw much power. They are designed to turn on at about 40* and off anytime the tank is above that temperature so they are not on all the time unless needed. If in cold temps I would run them while you are running down the road and when you are stopped for the night if you have enough battery power to make it through the night if you are going to be dry docking. If you are dry docking on the way south then use the antifreeze in the tanks as suggested and wait till you get to warmer temps.

For people wanting to maybe change from the batwing antenna might want to look at the King ant. It does not crank up but it is lower than the AC cover on the roof. It is very easy to find stations. When you start turning adjusting it there are indicator light to tell you what the signal strength is. Ours on the Winnie seem to work pretty well.

Here is a link to there web site http://kingconnect.com/product/king-jack-antenna/

General Discussion / Re: Rear View Camara

« on: February 07, 2016, 03:49:01 pm »

Just so you know the rear view camera on my Winnebago View is terrible also. I can hardly see anything on it. On my pickup with the slide in camera I had a wireless and it was bad also. On our trip to Alaska in our slide in camper it stopped working the second day out. I only had it for about a month before we left on the trip. Right after I got the setup the camera wouldn't work so they sent me a new one and I had to put in remote antenna also. This is for a camera that was only 14' away from the receiver/screen and still wouldn't work without the booster antenna.

The only one that I had work worth anything was in my DP MH but that was about all that worked right in that thing.

Another question for all that have the sofa instead of dinette, from the sofa do you have any problem watching TV with having your head turned to the left all the time. Our Winnebago the front TV is right straight across from the sofa so it makes viewing it very  easy.

We are not currently owners,  but wannabes.  I recently discussed bed length with Earl via email.  He said they can increase the bed length by increasing the total length of the coach.  Nothing else in the coach is shortened.

Russ and Linda,

Thanks for the response. I was wondering if they made the bed longer where they would make something smaller. Good info.

Thanks,

Butch

General Discussion / Questions on a PC

New to this forum but not new to Rving. We have been rvers for over 44 years and have had to many rvs to even count them. We have enjoyed all of them except one (it was a new DP and it was the biggest piece of garbage that ever drove down the road. The chassis was great as it was a Freightliner but the coach built on it was a POS).

I presently have a Winnebago Sprinter View Profile and am looking at possibly getting  a PC 2552. I have a few of questions that I was wondering if any one has asked before.

1. Has anybody requested that the fridge be replaced with a Nova Kool DC fridge from the factory? Reason is I would rather have this setup than an absorption fridge.

2. Has anybody had additional batteries installed from the factory? I would like to have 4 6V batteries.

3. Has anybody with a 2552 weighed their rig after picking it up at the factory before loading it up? If so what was the weight of it and if possible what the front weighed and the rear.

4. Can the twin beds be made longer? I'm 6'1" so the 74" bed well not work for me. My present Sprinter has one twin bed that measures 76" and that is about the shortest I could get away with.

5. Has anyone had PC install any solar on their rig?

I'm also thinking about having the Quigley 4X4 option added. Any comments of this option good/bad.

Thanks,

Butch

Tips and Tricks / Re: Inspect Your Roof, It Might Need A Touch Of Caulk Here And There Like Ours

« on: February 06, 2016, 02:04:48 pm »

A newbee here to the PC forum but not to RVs. I have been Rving for over 40 years and through many rigs. I presently have a Winnebago Sprinter but am looking to switch to a PC.

Just to let you know that if you ever need to reseal that area it is going to be a job. In the first place nothing sticks to silicone once it has been applied, not even silicone well stick to silicone once it is set up. So you have to clean the silicone off before you can redo it and it is next to impossible to get all of the silicone off without a lot of effort. Do ask me how I know this.
