We made a great trip loupe from another rally in southern Colorado through Colorado, Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and, back to northern Colorado. Although we had a few "bumps in the road", it was a great trip. Traveled 3972 miles at 11.08 mpg with our GMC Canyon toad. I know a lot of the bigger rig owners sure envy the mpg we get.

We absolutely love traveling in our Palazzo!!!

Ed,

Sorry we missed you in Goshen, we had a prior engagement in Texas. We stopped by and visited JR in OK on our way...nice time!

We will be at the TDC spring rally, hope to see you there?

Safe Travels!

Jack,
Good to hear from you again! I believe I read somewhere that you are co-sponsoring the TDC spring rally. Great!! Jo Ann & I have made reservations at the campgrounds for that week. Currently trying to work around a dental implant issue scheduled for that time and hope to work around it.

Sounds like another great trip in the makings. Hope to see and meet some of the other Palazzo owners there also. Its always great to read this threads contributor's thoughts but would be better to get to meet them also.

Safe travels!!! We love traveling in our Palazzo!!!!!

Also, enjoyed chatting with you at the rally.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Bill & Dot,

Good to hear from you and that you got home safe after the TDC Goshen rally. Was a great rally but it always seems one is short on time to meet all of the fine people attending. Sometime we (Palazzo owners) need to find a time/venue to get together near the start of the rally to get to know the names, faces, and from where do we come. Hope to see and meet some new faces at the Myrtle Beach rally.

Safe travels. We love traveling in our Palazzo!!!

Regards,
Ed Starck

Hello to all.

We spent Sat night in Wytheville, VA KOA. 19 deg. F. All is well with our 36.1. The furnace works great! We were amazed at how comfortable we were. It was our first time relying on our furnace. It was 20F last night and again tonight in Manassas, VA and we are cozy in our Palazzo. We are visiting granddaughters, they will be sleeping over tomorrow night.
Thanks Thor for providing a great furnace and insulation. The pass through basement and wet bay are nice and warm too.

Happy thanksgiving from chilly Manassas.

Hello,

I just purchased a 2013 Thor Palazzo 33.2. I live in Colorado and plan to take a couple of trips during the winter. In running the furnace last night the bathroom heats up much quicker than the rest of the coach (which makes sense). However after about 90 mins the bathroom was about 80degrees and the coach was 50. Does anyone have recommendations on how to distribute the hot air more evenly ? (i.e. run the fans ?).

Thanks in advance.

Home Depot sells really great looking 2" x 10" floor registers with built in balancing. I put 5 of these in my Challenger and it allows me to drive heat where I want it

posted on other thread but thought it would be seen here easier .

Josams did my alignment and did a great job . but it seem's to good " maybe "

when on flat road the coach drive's perfect " steering wheel straight " now when driving on a road with a crown to the left or the right the coach will have some pull either way the crown is , and I would say that 90 % of the roads in Florida have a crown to the right for rain drainage so there is a pull to the right most of the time " small pull " I was thinking of getting a " Truecenter " or a " safe T plus with trim kit " to help with this .

any other Palazzo owners have the same problem with crown's in the road ?
again first Rv so don't no if this is normal or not , very small pull to left or right depending on the crown or pitch of road .

even in my car driving down here in florida when holding the wheel straight she drive's straight but when you let go it will 90 % of the time drift to the right a lot slower then the Rv but still drift's

thank's

Welcome to the Palazzo family!

In response to the hot bathroom, take the 4 screws out of the bathroom panel to expose the heat distribution box with all the flex hoses attached. I found one disconnected and a lot of heat was dumping into the cabinet/sink area on our 33.2.

Just returned home from a 3 week stay in my Palazzo and experienced the same bathroom heating issue. I removed both panels below the sink and one duct was not hooked to the duct. After that the coach heat was fine.

The fact it tracks straight when on level road tells me the alignment is correct. It is normal for a big rig like a MH to track left or right based on the crown in the road. You can reduce this a little by adding more toe-in to the front alignment but at the expense of increased tire wear. You can also try adding a steering stabilizer that will help a little.
