RE: StoreMore Slideout System
My Fleetwood has the compartments that come out with the front two slides, with a pass thru compartment under the bedroom slide. I haven't had any problems with this set up. I just watch how much weight I place in them, but they handle most of the items I need them to hold. A convient feature is the driverside slide has a small door in the front of the slide which is exposed when the slide is out. This is great for putting fishing poles or a fold up ladder in the full length area of the slide. Since my rv has this type, my opinion of course would be that I see no reason to avoid RVs that have this set up.

RE: "Sirius" radio problem, 2008 Bounder
I have a 2008 Bounder and when I flipped thru the mode selections the first time as you already stated FM/Am/Aux1/Aux2/Weather/and Sirius would pop up. The activation code would be displayed, which I activated. Odd that it is not cycling thru the selections, even if it not getting signal. Almost like someone deleted it from the selection process, which I doubt could be done. If this helps you at all, my Sirius external box on my RV is located under the dash on the driver side near the brake pedal, with the antenna located up on the roof on the front cap of the RV. Good luck.
Also just a heads up, I installed a twelve disc CD changer up in the cabinet over the driver side. The CD player on the radio will skip if you hit a severe bump.

I purchased replacement ones from Fleetwood and ordered a few extra ones in case they fell off down the road. So far haven't lost any. They drain well. Once a year I take the air compressor and blow the holes out to eliminate any dirt that may have built up.

RE: Direct tv dish
First, if your son's box is active (even if it's not procedure is the same)
1. Connect box to TV
2. Go to settings and go thru set up . One of the steps will give the elevation , angle, and coordinates for your location. Will need a compass and a clear path for the dish pointing to the southern sky
3. Cable connection from dish to the box depends on how your RV is set up . Your RV may be set up for satellite connection or you may have to install a line or lines to the box (provides power to dish)
4. Use tripod or whatever you decide to mount the dish and point to given coordinates, it will give a signal reading on the TV or you can purchase an inline signal meter.
I'm sure I have miss something and others can add on. A lot depends on contacting directv and setting up your account if that is what you plan to do.

RE: mattress/memory foam
On our current Bounder we replaced our king mattress with an eleven inch memory foam from Overstock Comfort dream 11 inch memory form mattress Comes in box, fits right thru the RV door, and expands on bed when opened. Depending on your set up, make sure slide will still come in and fit under wardrobe , you might be able to go with the 14 inch. Which we have in our house. Comfort Dream 14 inch mattress We like both size mattress, and have had them for over two years. I will put in a disclaimer that you need to like memory foam, not everyone does.

Leather and Vinyl Repair Tip
Thought I would pass this along on a great idea for matching the color on repairing leather. I'm sure others have already thought of this solution, but if you haven't here it is. We had a tear on the passenger seat and when I did a search on this site for repairing the tear most every post recommended the 3m leather repair kit. The most common problem people stated that they had were mixing the colors to get an exact match. Sure enough when I completed the repair the color was off and stood out. So I thought if I found a piece of leather the size of a quarter on the bottom side, I could take it to Sherwin Williams and have them match it. I located a piece of leather that had been folded and stapled. I cut a small quarter size piece off and had Sherwin Williams match it. They suggested a satin finish to match the sheen of the leather. When I first applied it to the repair, I thought this didn't work, but when it dried the color matched perfect. I feathered the paint around the repair and you can't tell it has been repaired, unless you look really close, and I mean really close. Just thought I pass this on, it was a good solution for my repair.

RE: Search Continues for a Pusher - Bounder quality?
I'll check out the literature! I had understood that Fleetwood went bankrupt so did not bother to search for that.
Fleetwood did go bankrupt, but the new Fleetwood still maintains records on the previous Fleetwood RVs. My dealings have been excellent with the new Fleetwood. I just provide them with my Fleetwood number and they have all my information and part numbers. Purchasing parts has been hassle free and you can even shop online for smaller items.

Have added a small blue Christmas tree with silver ornaments which sets on the dash. Sometimes I think less is the way to go.

RE: GoodSam Refinancing
We refinanced last March, very simple process and hassle free. Good Sam is partner with Essex Credit, who handle our loan process, who then transferred the loan to their sister company, Bank of the West. We were approved within an hour, and had the needed paper work they required to them that day. If I remember correctly, the paperwork arrived in a few weeks to be signed and notarized. I think what help us, besides our good credit, was that the payoff for the RV was significantly lower then the value. We even lower our number of years on the loan and now pay extra towards the principal. Well worth it, and yes we checked into it wth our original bank if they wanted the option to refinance the loan and they declined. Stating they don't refinance their own loans. Good luck to you.

RE: Winnebago and Fleetwood
You might find a Fleetwood dealer and tell him you had an accident. Ask about the availability and price of a couple of body parts.
Not necessary, you can call Fleetwood direct and order parts or shop online here
Fleetwood Online Parts
I have owned three Fleetwood RVs, so of course I'm bias towards Fleetwood. What people own is what they will recommend. Look at floor plans and decide what works best. If it was me, instead of buying new, I would look for a slightly used Winnebago Adventure or Fleetwood Pace Arrow/ Southwind ( 5 years old or less ). Good luck on your search.
After posting this I took a look at the Bounder 36R. I like what the new Fleetwood is doing with the Bounder, a lot of nice features
Bounder 36R
To be fair I took a look at the Winnebago 35F and really liked it. Looks like you have a tough decision.

RE: Car trailer vs. 4 Wheels down
We would much rather have the ease and convience of towing 4 down, just so much quicker and less hassle. While DW is inside office getting campsite, I can have the jeep unhooked and ready to go park.
