Found out today that I will be headed back to the states for a "career broadening" assignment at Altus, AFB Oklahoma. I am already plotting my course for driving down from Green Bay (where I store the coach now" to Oklahoma in late January. I will take my time and hopefully plot a course with 50amp hookups along the way as my Gennie has to have work done when I get to OK. I'll be making the trip solo as the boys and Heather will stay behind in Japan and finish H.S. I'm going to live in the coach while at Altus so I am definitely going to get a better working knowledge of all the systems. The family will join me for the summer and Will is off to the University of Wisconsin Green Bay in the fall so at least I will not be lonely. Hope you all have a Happy Holiday Season and are Healthy and Safe!

no doubt Larry! Tom is on speed dial on my phone! As far as parts Mark I hope that I don't need them but if I do I am happy that it is a short distance! Looking forward to driving my roadster and enjoying a steak or two!

With winter temps while traveling, be sure to winterize plumbing. Or figure a way to get some heat in plumbing bay. We keep an electric heater in ours but that requires use on generator or shore power. Our Primus never worked so we had to make some modifications. We also have a ducted propane furnace in back that keeps plumbing bay heated.
