We refer to them as "Fur People". (Whispering) they don't know they are animals.

Looks like you have the 'fire place' option. Tell us about it, how do you like it? Propane I assume...

It's electric. Has a temperature adjustable heater with a blower or you can just turn on the flames only. The flames are adjustable slow to fast; light in background can be adjusted to bright or dim. It looks quite real gives ya that warm fuzzy feeling. It has a remote to turn it off and on but you have to make your adjustments from the panel above the fireplace. We had the heater on last night it works good kept the living room toasty had to turn it down.

New 5iver

That IS a mighty fine looking rig. We took a two month tour out west in
June/July (1st since retiring) and was amazed how many folks travel with
work and live in 5ivers.

Thank you. We started traveling with the job in 2003, and I too was amazed at the number of people who fulltime. Had no Idea we would have so much company. We love it, you get to see the country, meet new people and get paid for doing it. A lot of the folks that work for this company rent apartments but are rethinking that after seeing our rig. Their rent is usually higher than our RV payment and space rent combined. If they have pets it's a hassle to rent, not so at CG's. Plus, you are spending your money on something you own not just a receipt.

Welcome to DTR flippinfred! I know right where you are in AR. We had 5 acres outside of Huntsville for 8 years. AR is a nice place to live. We sold out after a year on the road, we were never there. Bought something in Texas by the kids so they can look after it, and we can be close to them when we get a chance to go home.
Why are you taking your 5ver back to the factory?

Beautiful house. But isn't it a bit heavy to tow with a 3500?

Regards, DBF

Uh ... Flash, it's always a good rule of thumb in the Full-timer world to keep the animals BOWEL's as empty as possible else you tend to step in squishy things in the middle of the night.

OOP’s Dyslexic fingers. Should have been bowls. Then again, if you keep their bowls full their bowels are full also. Can’t win with the fur people, I’m either pourin’ or scoopin’

Thanks for the compliment.

As for your question, no problem for the mighty Cummins or suspension, tows like a dream. As you can see, it doesn’t squat the truck a bit.
