New to Chinook

[Roly]

Congrats, Fat, You'll love that new Premier if your experience is anything like mine.

I got my 1998 Premier in 2014 to carry Wife, cat & dog, and two parrots up and down the West coast between family in N. Cal and Seattle. Also, here were bad wildfires in N.Cal, and having Moho stocked and ready to go as a bug out vehicle was good insurance. I personally prefer the rectangular windows on the Premier side and fewer motorized things, like the rear step, dump valves. (easier to maintain or fix) Power mirrors would be nice, though. One of the best things about the Chinook is that you can park it in a standard parking space.

I have learned a lot about RV systems online, and PARTICULARLY on this site. The archived info here is awesome. I've been able to upgrade some from 1998 tech with new AC/DC power panel; water heater, furnace, and fridge overhaul, and adding solar panels, battery capacity, etc. I had a really good independent mechanic install inserts in all 10 spark plug holes, because I read about the occasional blowout concern on early Triton engines.

Thanks, Roly! And thank you, Flame, for the help yesterday.

Family loves it. 19 year old son: "This is so cool! I would love to load up my buddies and take this to Vegas, or somewhere like that!"

Um, no. Can you imagine what it would look like when he handed the keys back two weeks later? Haha!

A 19 yrs old? Well, since it is not a "chick magnet," you probably don't have to worry about he coming back from Vegas with a new daughter-in-law. But he may want to borrow it to go to Burning Man or one of the wild music gathering in the desert.

Glad you made it home safe buddy! Stay in touch. I'll get that info to you you wanted.

Haha! Good point. Guess I’m old. I think it’s pimpin. But really, if a dude has game, and a party machine on wheels, I think he’s got a pretty good chance.
