Jim had it right, Colaw's RV Salvage. I don't remember seeing any washer/dryer combo's when we were there. But you never know.

We had a Splendide, non vented, and took it out. Needed space in our closet for guess who's clothes!

I think your best bet is the stack-able in 120v, if you can find them for a reasonable price. It's nice to have the convenience, but in my opinion, not worth it. If I had it my way it would be in the bay.

Nice trailer choice! We had thought about a similar idea one day when our economic situation changes! :o

Most of this as it states is in "planning" nothing going down right now permanently. The trailer is the first step and then the rest will fall into place (hopefully?)

(You never did say anything about what it was that I sent you a couple of weeks ago Paul. What is the deal on that? I am curious as to what you thought of it ... Think it will help you out?)

Later,

She did a great job. I just sat down with her and "described what it was that we were wanting" and then she went to work on them. Both of us were pleasantly surprised by the end result.

Truly worth the money and a well done job.

Thanks for your reply Pam

I also like the jacket design! Very, very nice! 8-)

I like those special touches. Are they a light weight type?

Yeppers. You can find them often at retail outlets or WalMart, warm and comfortable. The design is mine and the layout the same.

Regarding your trailer, be sure and repack the wheel bearings in the first 12 months. You may be shocked to find out how little grease is actually in them when new. Seals should only a couple bucks each...smart choice on the 5,200# axles

Your Eagle looks sharp with the color of the bus and the siding and clear lights...that don't look like no okie bus!

Keep up the good work.
