Hi Bill, the AC units did a good job keeping us cool. The rough rule of thumb seems the AC units can keep the rig about 20-30 degrees cooler than outside temps. It’s a lot tougher in hot weather and/or full sun. But overall they did a great job.

Definitely upgrade to the heat pump option. I think the newer 36LA has the option for two heat pumps (we only had one). If you’re on electric, it’s a great way to keep warm (over 40 degrees) without using your propane. It has no impact on the cooling capability of the AC.

Thanks Kat. We really appreciate your feedback. Its great to read your blog.

Thanks Kat! No pets for us, although maybe some day we’ll have a pup again. We’ll be FT as well for at least a year than reverse snowbirds for 6months a year. The issue of getting grimy is one to consider!

I think the white leather would look amazing with the mocha cabinets, it would make quite a contrast! We stay away from light color furniture. Since we full-time, we use our couches a lot which means they would get grimy quickly. Plus Opie is allowed on all the furniture so again dirt would easily attract to white surfaces.

Hi Kat – thanks for responding! We like both the sterling and cedar interiors and both the brown sugar and the Bailey (whiter leather). Completely hooked on the mocha cabinets, it’s an elegant look. How do you think the Bailey would look with the mocha?

Thanks for the feedback, tough decision!

Hi Dave! We did get the sterling interior, brown sugar leather, and mocha cabinets. We love the combination, is that what you’re looking at? It’s definitely dark though. Congrats and I’ve love to hear which color combo you ended up with.

Hi Bill,
I would definitely do the combo again, especially in the 36LA. The extra space in the 36LA is a must and we don’t use the dryer much to begin with. I air-dry all our clothes (helps extend the longevity of the clothes) and only use the dryer for our sheets and towels. I would wash all the sheets, then dry them one at a time, so 20 min cycles worked great to get them all dry. The only issue I had with the combo was the lack of a lint dryer. Splendide claims the lint goes out with the water but we did have to occasionally use a leaf blower to blow out the extra lint around the combo unit.

Honestly, if I had the choice in our new rig, I’d get a combo and use the extra space as a linen closet!

We are really enjoying reading your blog. Thanks for taking the time!!

Thanks! Happy New Year to you and Steve! Hopefully we’ll cross paths in 2018 or 2019!
