I bought my toppers at a dealer, General RV. They had a special on them for 2 weeks. 2 of them cost $850, but installation was free. I would think $1600 is high. They did tell me they installed two in a little less than an hour.

To put the hooks up in the bedroom I had to remove the bathroom door and put a couple of pieces of wood in the wall to screw into. It's a little tricky, but not impossible.

THAT'S what we're looking for. Thank you.

That was one reason we chose the 3800. Two recliners, one for each of us, and the dinette table is where I set up my laptop, hot spot, GPSs & chargers, GoPro cameras and chargers...all that stuff! This way I can watch TV in the evening while doing all the other stuff I do at the end of the day!!

I was amazed that only Voltage Epic with the 14ft garage, that had the dinette was the 3800...so we ordered it!

Yup, the 3600 and 3800 are the only ones that have a dinette. Today I called to see if I could order the dinette set.

Sinecure,

Like I said previously, I called my dealer to see how much the dinette setup is. If I can get it, I'm going to slide my two outer recliners towards each other and remove the two inner ones. If you're interested in them, let me know.

Thanks to ya'll, I just ordered one... I bought this one though.

Camco 18" 50-Amp 90-Degree PowerGrip Locking Adapter: ATV, Motorcycle, & RV Accessories : Walmart.com


Not sure why it's cheaper but apparently it's the same thing. No?

I'm so glad I found this thread, the straight out angle has always bothered me... just seems like to much weight to support.


Thanks,


Mark

Just took care of my 50 amp cord problem. Installed my reel in the front facing compartment next to generator. Didn't want to take up any room in the cargo so this was the next best thing. Although still have to take it completely out to hook up, it beets having to lug it out of storage in a roll. plus It is easy to clean as I roll it up.

I bought the same cord reel & put mine in the left cargo area. Didn't attach it down & works great. While traveling we do quite a bit of just one stop over nights. Just too hard to get to the front compartment when still connected to the truck.

Am I the only one that rolls his up and places it in one of those big bags?

I haven't found anything to make it easier yet?

Cord reels are awesome. Mine came with it installed on the left side cargo area, which is also where the LCI Hydro Leveling controller is.

So if you put the cord reel in the compartment next to the generator...you just have on 12V battery?

For give me, but is that your battery box on the left of the cord reel?

Is that the OEM battery box?

I had four 6V batteries installed, they take up the whole compartment...

Thanks,

Pirate

I made a laundry, swim suit, towel, clothes line. Took the patio handrail brackets off from the inside of the ramp, reversed them, and placed them on the outside. Made a 1" PVC rack and placed them into the brackets. Used the bracket as a drill guide, drilled holes in the fittings and used the handrail pins the pin it. Hindsight being 20/20 I think I would make it fold up against the ramp so I could haul it that way. Presantly I remove it and stow it under the Polaris RZR that is usually in back.

Hi, How hard was it to install the biker bar? I thought you had to take the gas tanks out to get to the bottom of the floor.

I didn't mount the biker bar but another brand. Your front tire sits way in front of the fuel tanks so no problem with them in the way.

With LED's, such as the ones that been suggested (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1).

They are 12v, so I don't need anything else (like a watt controller), right? I can just hook up directly to a 12v line/switch. Is that correct? If one wanted a dimmer, any suggestions?
