Quote:My retirement date is August 1, so I too will be giving formal notice soon. Our 10-year plan has materialized!!!
House is sold, we'll be living in the 5'er soon. Our son is buying the house, so it wasn't necessary to get rid of every last thing, some things we are storing here for now.
We just purchased a Yamaha Majesty 400cc scooter. Weight 467 lbs. It IS going with us, either on the front end of TV ('08 Silverado 3500 dually diesel) or on back end of the Jayco (35RLTS) I know neither is a good idea, but like I said, the scoot IS going! Thoughts on which is the lesser evil?
Wow...not a third option huh? 
If those were my only two choices I would say front of the TV would be my choice assuming it does not impair my vision out the front windshield nor does it impair the lights/turn signals...

The second a/c is a 13.5 and it is MORE than adequate. I would say you could get by with less unless you're leaving the door open and closing the bedroom vents to help with cooling in the rear.

13.5K low profile Carrier w/heat strip - works GREAT !!
Installed myself. Hardest thing was getting the darn thing up on the roof !!
Went with Low Profile to keep the overall height down. Only added about 2" to the overall height of the rig.

Been considering the same thing. My thoughts were the swivel trailer on the rear, but concerned with all the bounce back there !!
Either way you go, keep us informed on how it goes ...

eaherrmann,
Questions about your sun shade. What size is it, length and heighth? Is there a model number? How hard to install? This is exactly what we are needing now, as the vening sun hits the awning side and as it sets the awning does no good. Thanks.

Dura,
I believe I saw those on the Camping World website and looked like it just slid into the track of your awning where the awning hooks would go...

Ok everyone I have a question...
Plan is to add a small TV into the side compartment and swing out on an arm when needed and we are outside...already added a power strip to the roof of the inside compartment (thanks Loyd for the suggestion)...until I can buy the swing out arm how do I get a TV line going down into the compartment so I can hook it to the TV so when we have either cable or just regular TV I will be able to access it down there also?

Hey Eric ... if I was in the area I would definately help. Really wasn't difficult at all. Hardest part (other then getting it up ON the roof) was getting that caulking off that they use around the vent.
You gonna try it ??
DW is having lower back surgery. (fusion). Not looking forward to it at all, but hope it helps.
