Keep in touch. I have been working out the bugs on an 07 39V with full slide. Deb and I swapped out coolling unit on the Norcold. Next big project will be fogged window DIY.

Have to take a FEW days off to get the house painted!

Most definitely because I have found the manuals very lacking and have been doing a lot of trial and error. There are also several features the previous owners added that I am working through because there are no manuals. The big headache was a switch on the dash that wasn't factory and after a few days of trying to figure out what it did and no success, I decided to trace out the wiring. It turns out there is nothing hooked to the switch! Not sure why anyone would cut into their dash to install a switch hooked to nothing unless it was something they took out when they sold it.

I was also looking at the 39V but the S came along and had all the required stuff at the right price. I really preferred the openess of the V since I will be full timing in it as a home away from home for a few years.

Where did you buy and what difficulty did you have? We are thinking about the purchase and would appreciate any guidance.

Not an owner, but it's one that is definitely on my future list.

Love, love, love that 40x floorplan!

Let's not just include late models!! Our old model 02' has been a fantastic machine for us. We part time in it 5 months out of the year and just winterized it. We put just over 4500 miles on it this year. At 87,000 miles on it she purrrrs like a kitten.

We purchased a 2006 Discovery 39S just a few weeks ago. Its a huge upgrade for us. I am disappointed in the rubber roof , but really, really like everything else.

My 2006 Discovery doesn't have a rubber roof. It's a composite material that goes by the name of Royal Tuff Ply. It's not a smooth covering and it's thicker than the EPDM rubber roofs.
