Still own a home in San Diego, It is rented until the end of 2018. Will sell it then. Why? Because after seeing so much of the country this year I can't fucking stand California. We knew we were back in California. Crappy roads and disgusting rest stops. Everywhere we traveled the roads were pretty nice. Nice clean rest stops. Not in this state.

I do not understand how you guys that live in LA can stand the roads. How can there always be construction but the road are always shitty? As I said we have traveled a lot. Have put 15K miles on the new truck since March. We put 5k on the class C from Jan-Mar. ZTh only other place we were disappointed in the roads was Atlanta.

pretty sure it is all the big trucks constantly traveling the roads that just tear them up.... truckers every where in so cal...

80% of every tax dollar taken in by the state of Ca goes back out as salary and pension ... let it sink in , 80% ! So Cal is fast becoming a third world shit- hole , and no cure in sight .

Little more progress, got the in dash dvd, cd, gps/nav done, did the exhaust, this coach was loud, and raspy sounding so I took off the stock muffler, put the big rv magnaflow and a 30'' long, 6'' magnaflow round resonator...and a black powder coat tip. she's quiet now,... that and I got the new tires and wheels, went with the 235 -85-16's, and the moto metal aluminum wheels, the stock tires were crazy noisey, that and they road like rocks..nice quiet and smooth..when I got the gps, the speedo read 73 mph and gps was at 70 mph, so with the tire change it is now speedo at 70 mph, gps at 72 mph,... so pretty close,...when I do the 5 star tune it will be re calibrated to the tire size,.. I for got to see where the rpms where at 70 with the new tires, but it was at 2500/2600 with the old ones...

I have one exactly like this except a pop out bedroom. I love the way it drives and handles.
The only change we did was to remove the fake tile and put new tile up. Great little RVs. Mine is a Thor 22 with a pop out bedroom.

Again my 2017 rides very nice and pretty quiet. I have no complaints with the ride or noise. Stop by and lets switch then I can see the difference.

I kinda liked these forest river models, but they only come on chevy chassis's..not enough torque to tow my trailer...but the chevys have more foot room for the passengers..

they also only have 5 k hitch..

I like the overhead area for storage and a sleeping if needed. My wife calls the pop out bedroom here cruise ship bedroom. I have put 3,000 miles on it and still like it. We will start our Glamis trips when we get back from Maui.

Super clean looking, but it also looks like a mobile X-ray lab. Put some racing stripes on it or something [emoji41]

Wheels look great. I agree that the all white needs some graphics.

we ran into a problem with the bed... the mattress sucks ,.. it was a foam Denver mattress... but made for little kids...so I took it out... it's advertised as a queen size.... but is only 54'' wide... that's a full size... when I took the mattress out, the wood on the bed frame had only two screws holding the wood down....so I took the wood out....no insulation....so, I insulated it and screwed the wood down like drywall...with cheeta screws.....
