New Diesel Tow Rig...well, new to me, uh, soon to be new to me...

[txav8r]

'08 Fleetwood Discovery 39R, 6.7L Cummins, Allison 3000MH 6 speed, Onan 8kw Quiet Diesel Generator, Dual A/C's in home plus one in dash, 10,000# available tow capacity with 1000# tongue limit...and it matches the boat!

Awesome! Congrats! Whats its length?

 

[txav8r]

It is a 39

 

[txav8r]

I didn't really want that big, but I did want a diesel pusher. And thanks!

 

[PolarXJ]

I was about to edit my post once i re-read your post and saw the 39R. Lol. Looks great!

 

[txav8r]

When is Shelbyville? When is Tablerock, or was it LofO?

 

[txav8r]

Can you believe, 5800 miles. Not even 20 hours on the generator! It has had a number of annual oil changes, but it hasn't reached the first mileage for service!

 

[PolarXJ]

That is amazing. It isnt even broken in. Good find.

5800 miles on an 08??? Congrats buddy, that's awesome!

 

[PEARCE]

A big congrats Mel! That's awesome! I can't wait to see Blue Yonder hooked up to it. Are you gonna name this one too?

 

[txav8r]

Thanks, I think...we don't know if we should cry or pinch ourselves! No matter how good a deal, it is still a used motorhome, and they cost money at times! But, this is in prep for retirement, and we can actually keep this rig into retirement and travel the country, shorter trips the next 6 years, and months long ones in 6 years.

Nice! You guys will really enjoy the boat and "retirement" now!! Looking forward to a tour when you make the loop through Florida!

Does it have E-plex or Crestron? (lighting/automation)

 

[txav8r]

That is a very good question @PEARCE ...what do you think about that? I am afraid to take the heat for another lengthy naming thread!

 

[txav8r]

Uh...dunno? Obviously I am in the dark! It may be before that type of mod, it is an '08 Fleetwood Discovery

I don't know. I call our 5er "The Condo". But I'm not going to put a sticker on it for that name. It's a rare site to see a named camper like we name our boats.

It would have tiny touchscreens for light switches.

 

[txav8r]

No, it doesn't have those Murf...do I smell a MOD? I have to install a washer/dryer combo or let them do it. It is rare they don't have them, so in working the deal, I included it, then I backed it out to consider finding a deal on one. I sure am glad I have a limited 12v knowledge...cause I have a bunch of batteries NOW!

 

[txav8r]

The Wander Blue Yonder? lol or Yonder Hauler

 

[Julian]

Neighbors of ours bought a similar sort of motor home a while back (he searched auctions for ages) and the found and won an amazing deal. One thing he learned was that wheel base is really important on these beasts. If the rear wheels are too far forward it makes it hard/impossible to enter certain inclines without dragging the rear end. Which it turned out....applied to his driveway!! That is the sole insight I have into these!

Looks sweet though!

Evil grin

I see what you've done there! Chuckle!
