We picked up the Winnie this past Saturday after a "briefing" if you will. i asked as many questions that i could think of but being so excited in the process forgot all about the fridge. I'm going to read the manual this week! (The Mrs. videotaped the briefing too.) The dealer gave us a 6" drop hitch for my utility trailer and also installed a electronic brake control for me (i paid). They also threw in a $50.00 gift certificate to use in the parts department. They're there to sell!!!
Now let's get to the necessities of life. Toilet paper, for example. They insist that we use RV toilet paper because it supposedly doesn't clog or stick. True? Or are we just being conned into buying/spending money?
Another item was the fresh water hose. The "city water" here in Utah might be potable but it tastes like ****! We normally drink bottled but they might be selling that from the tap too. The salesman wanted to sell us a special hose that wouldn't give us a "taste" of garden hose. Is/was this just another misleading purchase? While on this topic of water hose... What is the "ideal length" to purchase?
....haven't climbed up on the roof yet to see what's up there in relationship to the satellite dish that's supposedly up there. Do i need Dishnetwork to come to my home to get that up and running? The RV site i'm staying in next month in Moab told me that they have TV hookups. Two channels... i'm not into TV but my wife is addicted to CNN, Fox News, etc.
The Winnie is wired for the PC too. She has a laptop that i swear has an umbilical cord attached to her. Gotta figure that out too....
What's the best resource/guide to use for finding RV sites? Is KOA overated? So this is a start and i thank you in advance for your responses and any helpful suggestions!!!
OH!!! One more quickie! As stated previously, the winnie has a triton 10 gas engine. In my wifes car, she must use 91 octane and i use it it my Ford Ex as well. The dealer put in the cheapest and lowest octane. Those of you with the tritons or otherwise... What octane # do you use?
uh-oh...nother question The salesman told me that "after" we get the Winnie all loaded up we should take it in for alignment at someplace like Schwabb's. True?
again, thanks in advance!
