Sometimes it's nothing more than watching TV in peace with the wife. Anything more is a bonus!

BiigDaddy, Colem Do either of you guys have a surge protector built in? I just purchased a EMS from progressive but now I have to figure out where to install it.

I do not and have been looking at them but trying to decide on which one. We have been very fortunate as we put a gauge in the camper and check as we come and go.

We did take the in laws to Myrtle Beach and everyone did just fine. The layout really has a ton of space that wasn't too cramped for the bunch of us.
We have looked at the EMS unit, but we went the same route Colem did with the gauge.
I'd love to see some pics of your Polk sound bar when you get a chance. Did you upgrade you load rating on the maxxis? We did for the peace of mind!

Yes I went from C load to Maxxis D load. I feel better about those being on there. The sound bar is simple. The TV has digital audio out so I hooked that up to the soundbar and attached the IRV line out to the soundbar. So the dvd and FM radio work. I stream Bluetooth directly to the soundbar.

I didn't get a pic of the sub but it's in the original sub location under the drawer left of the sink. It wireless except for the power which I just added a plug under there. I'll try to get some pics.

We just priced ours. Dropping the deposit off this weekend.

Going with:
Slide toppers
Diamond package
2nd ac
Metro color scheme
Cherry cabinets
Standard floor
Power tongue jack
Outside grill
Couch in the kids room

Need to get this thing soon. The camper pile in the basement is getting too big.

Congratulations Sharkbate! You will not regret the double AC's or the slide toppers. Worth every penny in my opinion. I am jealous of you guys with the backup camera, though

Be sure to post up some pics for the rest of the "8327 Club" to see!

Oh, and watch the dang wardrobe slide closing on your storage door...it's bitten each one of us!

I was also wondering what you're towing it with?

Congrats again!

BiigDaddy,

After having our 8314BSS (a little smaller than yours) for a little over a year the two options that I regret not getting: second air conditioner and slide covers.

There was only one trip last year that I actually could have used more air and then only in the daytime at near 100 degrees but it wasn't bad but the 50 amp service would have been nice also. Once the sun goes down it did fine. Turn on a few lights, the TV, microwave then just about anything else will pop the breaker. I let the salesman talk me out to the slide covers because I originally asked for them. We ordered it so could have had them. Duhhhhh.

Older and wiser now.

Agree!

He isn't there anymore. When someone tells you to "not spend money" it makes you want to trust them.

All the more reason to talk to other owners BEFORE you order.
