I've never been certain about the 340 HP with the ISB because they
jacked it several times from under 300HP but the torque never moved
much, if at all.

There are about ten variations of it depending on where you look. Very
confusing.

As to the Coachmen with the .50 wb/length ratio - well, that would take
it right off of my list.

We passed on that.

The 35P is a nice unit and wb/length is somewhat better at .53+ but not
great. Note that external storage is only 105 cu ft compared with the
119 in your 32SS.

I think I could live with the loss of outside storage, but we spent some
time the other day sitting in the 35P and although we get the bed and
washer/dryer that we want, we don't get the extra living space we'd like.

slide on the road side and 2 curb side slides I'd be inclined to want
the 24/30 chassis. Make sure you check the weight sticker.

It's easy to find them on the 24/30 chassis.

If you find the perfect motorhome, let us know. I'm sure most of us have
been searching for it or wondering about it for years.

If I find the perfect RV, be it motorhome or 5er, I'll write a book! :-)
I'll be famous for answering the big question in RV life.

We really like the looks of the 37F although we haven't put a foot in
one yet. Can't find one in this area. I think it answers our space
question with the front buffet option. They are now on the 24/30 chassis
and the ratio is just over .55 so that's nice. I called one dealer and
he checked the sticker showing 2999 CCC on that unit.

Speaking of CCC.....this is really depressing to find you can email
dealers and they email you back asking what that is. Even after
explaining it to one in Houston, he sent me the axle ratings. I really
wonder how some of these guys can sell units when they don't understand
anything about weights, etc.

Enjoy Denver. I haven't been there for many years but during one trip I
went to a great restaurant. It was called "The Broker" and it was in an
old bank vault. Food was great - but not cheap.

I haven't found anything cheap yet. The best pizza I've ever had though
is here at a place called Beau Jo's. Incredible. I'll have to ask my son
about The Broker.

Take care,
Greg

Does anyone know what effect lowering your jacks and streching the bags will have on longevity?

I ask Firestone the same question. Their reply was it will not hurt the airbags in any way.
