Dry Camping...How Long?

[George Lowry]

Hi Bruce,

We are still debugging it. Love the space with the four slide outs.
What I really love is the "smart-beds". These are the cargo bays that
slide out beyond the room slides so you don't have to get down on your
knees to crawl in. You can stand upright and reach anything you want.
There are four of them and each one is rated at 750 lbs. All you have to
do is push a button and they roll right out or in..... This coach has a
lot of electronics, more than the BB 450. It has the Silverleaf system
that monitors everything; Smart Tire monitors; Reverse Osmosis with auto
tank fill; Waste Master dump system; Glendining cable and hose systems;
Standard with dual DTV systems; HDTV; DVD players; and a lot of other
innovations that I am still learning about. Got an appointment Thursday
to get some of the bugs fixed. We think it will br a great coach for
our full timing....

Thanks for asking,

George Lowry
