Soon 2 b cc driver

Yahoo Message Number: 92675
Good evening,

My wife and I will be trading in our 2003 National (Gas) Dolphin toward the purchase of a 2006 CC (diesel) Inspire. Both coaches are 36' due to space restrictions on our home property. We are excited about our new to us coach and wanted to introduce ourselves. We began RVing 10 months ago and have spent more time on the road than at our home in the mountains. We have a three day inspection process to check out the RV at the dealers lot while we move things from one to the other. We will then on the road in the Inspire for the next 5 months. We look forward to participating with this group.

Welcome, Ken & Janice

We have had our coach for about a year and they are great coaches. One thing you need to check and see if it has had the wet PTO installed. That was the first thing I had done. Here is some info on it.

http://www.jdrv1.com/id19.html Look at the dates on the tires that was the second thing we got, full set of 295/80R22.5 through FMCA Then we ditched the Not-So-Cold frig and had the 197 Samsung installed now we can sleep at night.
I wanted a 36' but we got a 40' wife said whats 4' Floyd

I've got a 2004 CC Inspire I've had for 3 years. You'll love the difference in the CC and your Dolphin. I've had 3 years and 20,000 miles to check out all the isssues, problems etc. Feel free to ask anytime you have an issue you cant solve.

Ken & Janice, Congratulation & welcome to the CC family.
In addition to the good information you have already received, make sure you have the radiator checked for leaks. If you have the original aluminum radiator in it, it will develop a leak. Also, make sure the thermopane windows are not beginning to fog.
I can share many upgrade/updates I have done to our coach if you are interested.

RJ, Floyd & John,

I am sure I will have some more questions once we start our check out. But, FYI, we are having new tires installed as the current ones are original. I will certainly check out the PTO and appreciate the links. Not sure about the radiator, but will investigate as well as keeping an eye on the fridge. Your input is appreciated and it is nice to have a great group as a resource. Thanks everyone!!

Ken

Ken & Janice - Brings back memories of when Jeannie and I hit the road F/T back in 9/2008. We're still enjoying it some 5 years into the trip. Good luck and safe travels to you both.

Best - Scott

If down the road you need a radiator or a new frig, this is the way to go. I have both of them.

Samsung install in a Country Coach, great pics and wright up.

They're polarized so they only work in one direction, if wrong turn them around. The only one I did not change out was the ABS because I was told it would start flashing. What a difference a light makes.

Floyd,

Great stuff. I have archived your info on radiator, fridge and lights. Fridge looks great. My wife liked it as it is very close to what we have at home.

Light replacement seems like a no brainer. That is one of the first things we will do!!

Thanks!!!
Ken
