E30RKE Option Selection

[Butch50]

I was at the RV show in Eugene last weekend and talked to Byran Tillett/President of Excel and he said that the Prodigy would work with the disc brakes.

We just ordered my 35RSE last weekend for late April/early May delivery.

The following are the options we put on:

Padded Ceiling
Central Vac
Whole house filter
Dual Sliding LPT Trays
King Size Bed
Heat Pump instead of A/C
Glide Ride Pin Box
Second High Volume Fan w/sensor
Sofa Caddie
Oak Valances
thermo-pane windows
Hydrflame 2 stage Furnace
Whirlpool Wash/Dryer
ShurFlo Variable speed water pump
Boat Hitch
Elec WeatherPro Awning
Quad Door refer
Disc Brakes
32" LCD TV
Ind Hydr Leveling Sys.

These are the options that we felt worked best. We did not get the camper jacket as I have had bras on cars before and they do excatly what the previous poster said. They rub on the finish and if they get wet behind them you really should take them off till it dries behind them. If they act like a car one when they get wet they can haze your gel coat when the sun dries them and they are wet. I had that happen to me only one time and decicded I would never have another one. If you want to protect your front find an outfit that does invisible bras for cars and have them put the 3M product on it.

This is IMO

in regards to the 2 stage heater question, We have it in our rig. Only one time has the "second stage" kicked in.

Basicly, if the rig is very cold, and you are asking for a lot of heat, a second blower turns on forcing hot air quicker into the rig.

The "regular" stage is the quietest heater I have ever heard in a 5th wheel, and we are very happy with our choice of the 2 stage.

The heater in our last 5th wheel (Keystone product) was the noisiest @#$&*% thing I have ever heard, and woke me up each time it turned on during the night!

We are also very happy with the padded cieling, and didn't bother with the front jacket. (I do have a good set of mud flaps on the rear of my truck, though)

I would also suggest the gen prep which will include the 40# propane bottles and by all means, get the heat pump upgrade to your AC unit.
