Successful trips, was heater problem

[Don Bradner]

I agree. We just finished 60 days/4100 miles through Oregon, a bit of
Washington, Idaho, Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona and California.
Lots of steep grades up and down, heat above 100, cold below freezing, and
mechanically rather uneventful. I think it is rare to have zero annoyances, and
we had a couple such as the clogged A/C drain, but I don't think I ever went
that far in my (purchased new) SOB without at least a similar or greater number
of annoyances.

It is the basic nature of support forums to get calls for support, and not
generally get "Everything's fine" messages.

Don, most SOB don't even know what a A/C drain is! They just run down
the roof.

That was the case on mine, so obviously I didn't have the same small annoyances,
but other ones instead. It is getting hard to remember specifics, but after each
long trip (we did 63,000 miles in 3-1/2 years in the last one) I always had a
list of varying length, with things that had stopped working the right way and
needed some fixit.

I don't expect to bounce a house down the road for thousands of miles without
having to fix something.

what does "SOB" stand for? (other than one obvious option that
doesn't seem to apply ) ?

Dorn, this forum uses SOB as "Some Other Brand", meaning anything except a
'Bird'.
