    The 2 roof airs thermostats and the remote for the auxilarry hvac for the house off the engine to augment the dash air. Does a good job keeps up fine no need for roof air while driving.

    Hello Joe,
    This is Rick from Alberta. Pipeliner Prevost is my POG Handle.
    Joe, I have wondered for years as to where these guys dump their Grey and Black water. Is it simply at the Flyin Hook RV Dumps? Or elsewhere?
    I gotta tell ya that is one FINE Large Car my friend, real cool ride.
    Thank ya there Driver, catcha on the flip flop comon!

    Rick this one has a 3rd fuel tank that is used for the black tank. A suprising thing to me was they simply took the black plastic guiliteen type dump valve with the t handle and 4 bolt flange we all have and drilled a 3 in hole in the bottom of the end of that tank threaded 4 holes right into the tank, the wall thickness is sufficiant enough to create a sfficiant amout of threads, then they put studs in the holes and slapped the dump valve right up there and tightened it down with nuts no different than any other deal. Knowing this makes my life easier. Never would have figured u could get away with that.

    This plumbing originally had no way to capture grey water but thats easily plummed into the black with bypass at leaste on this floorplan it was. Id be really suprised if some had no holding tanks that cant be.

    Nother thing i was looking at was how they supported the camper on air like they do the bunks mine is not on air. Well they have added 3 more identical airbags inside the frame rails like the exzisting normal 2 they mount outside the rails for a total of 5 all lined up in a line across the back and it was a non issue on my ride down and it was very soft.

    Ill copy both these things.

    I told Howard to keep it long enough for me to get mine done and we will trade for a few weeks every now and then.

    Rick imagine the throttle responce bobtailing ( well almost, the tractor weighs 32,000) with a 600 + hp cat motor. That was how these 1800 miles just went by! If u matt it at 80 it pulls just as hard as if u were matted at 60. It steamrolls right to 2000 rpm in EVERY gear. Traffic disposal at its finest.

    Who will be next???
