The short list already in transit.

Battery, 2 battery cables, battery box, 12' 6 awg wire, 50 amp ems, maxx air 2, jt strongarms, power-max boondocker converter, 25' 50 amp ext cable, 30 to 50 amp adapter, second a/c interior ceiling grill, and sabre flip down cargo rack frame mounts.
Ok, it will be some time before I do this again.

The dual interstate batteries in the sabre are 5 years old.

I'm adding another to the existing new one in the Columbus.

I think I can take the credit for being 1st in turning you on to this about a year or so ago.

Even though I haven't swapped mine out. Let us know how it turns out.

I'm buying a stabilizing 20 lb. tank stand camco sells and I'm going to mount an extra tank in the front basement.

That's 80 lbs of propane.

Wow, 13 pages of Turbs buying Ms Amy a new camper, and he hasn't even picked it up yet! Surely he won't try to pull it with that old rusted Chevy! Let the mods begin.

Hey Turbs that's a nice looking Columbus but I thought I seen you were looking for a 325rl. I was just curious because the 325 has made me consider swapping out the old cardinal to get the outside kitchen.

We did want the 325.
But couldn't find one very local @ the price point we were looking @.

Did find one in Michigan but the deal went sour on his end.

Price was right! Deal was bad.

Other issue was our local dealer was offering 4k more for trade then any other but he didn't have a 325 only a 320

I was just checking you didn't find a issue with the 325....I dry camp at Bristol for the races twice a year and sometimes Kentucky. I would imagine you know that becomes entertaining at the campsite so I think the outside kitchen would be nice. I have actually had great luck with the cardinal so wanting to stay with forest river. I think for an outside kitchen that means Columbus or sandpiper. The options for a fifth wheel outside kitchen with out a bunkhouse are slim. I look forward to hearing how your new Columbus works out, it looks great congrats.
