New BB Owner w/ a few questions....

[KP Marsh]

John,

Welcome to the family. You're going to love your bird. They're a big learning
curve but worth every bit of it.

We were in New Mexico in late June/early July and experienced 100 degree temps
pretty much the entire time we were out there. ToWanda's air-conditioners
worked great! We actually had to turn her temperature settings UP as we were
starting to feel like we were in a refrigerator.

So have you given your bird a name yet?

Hello Everyone,
We are new owners of a 98 Wanderlodge LX, and have a few questions for
you more experienced BB Owners.
Before we bought it, the coach was in storage for the last couple
years, so we replaced the batteries and changed all the fluids &
filters. Everything seems to be working great for the most part. Its
impressive how much quality is put into these coaches!

We live in Texas, and I have a feeling our A/C systems might not be
working correctly. I have a friend that can come over and put gauges
on all the units to check them out. He is supposed to check everything
out this week. I guess my question is: should the 3 13.5k btu A/Cs
keep it plenty cool inside when its near 100 outside? I also think
there might be a problem with the dash a/c compressor as there seems
to be a little oily residue around it since we used it. I'll have to
investigate that a little more when I get a chance.

I've also noticed that after driving there is quite a bit of heat in
the closet obviously due to the engine & exhaust heat. Has anyone ever
installed a vent or exhaust fan the help expell the heat from the back
of the coach?

Oh!, and The acrylic grab handle by the entrance door is
broken. Is that something I will need to get direct from BB?

Thanks for any advice for BB newbie.
Looking froward to hearing from you guys and sharing in some
adventures in the future.

Thanks,
John, Jennifer & James Cassel
98 LX
