RE: Where to buy propane on this route
You might also consider adding one of the "extend-a-stay" type connectors between your on-board tank and regulator. It will allow use of a standard BBQ type tank to feed your MH propane system and could be good insurance if a refilling station can't be found since the BBQ tanks can be purchased almost everywhere.

RE: Floorplan like View/Navion 24M
We were inside one today, and it was VERY roomy.
We really liked the roomy feel of the sofa/dinette slide on our 5'er which lead us to choosing our current MH. Having similar slide in a 24' would be great when/if we "upgrade" to smaller coach to simplify towing/launching boat and not having a toad.

I really like that floor plan! Sorry, I don't know of comparable gas one but look forward to seeing one posted.

RE: Thinking about a Class C. Anyone tow with theirs?
I pulled a heavier 20' bowrider with V8 engine with our class C before getting the bay boat in signature. Never weighed it but guess in the 4,000lb range on trailer. No problems and felt I could have easily pulled at the 5,000lb max hitch rating.
Another option with more tow capacity might be a larger Super C.
As far as a C vs tow behind (previous RV was a 5'er), I much prefer the C.

RE: cup holders
I mounted those flip down type on the slide wall and back of dinette to use when sitting at sofa. I also have a couple in the boat. They work well. I've seen 2 types of adjustments for the ringed part. On one type, the ring is split and will adjust in/out to accommodate smaller 12oz cans and larger bottles/tumblers. The second type has 2 sizes of flip up rings, one for each size container. I like the 2 ring version better.
For the actual dinette, you could use a hole saw to put large holes on edge of table and use the type of cup holders that insert into the hole.

RE: Thinking
Once camp setup now, do you ever take truck out for run to store, etc? If so, do you pass a location where you dump tanks now? If so, you would be driving the MH and could just stop to dump the tanks.

RE: Levelers? Will You Share Your Pictures of Your Set-Up
Sorry, no pics I could share. But, I have a set of the yellow legos like jgorm1 posted and a set of the orange ones. I've used the yellow ones through 5 years with our 5'er and 4 with our MH. So far, none have broken. The orange ones are new and don't look like they would last as long. I got my yellow ones from Camping World.
As to the scissor jacks, we've learned to not be bothered by the sway. We've also gotten where being perfectly "level" is not needed. Often in established campgrounds I won't even use any of the blocks and just find a spot in site that is within half a bubble.

RE: Aluminum one piece roof leaks,,
A friend had an old TT on some land while he built a cabin. The aluminum roof on it was in bad shape and he rolled some type of white rubber roofing from gallon cans onto it. I think it stopped leaks for the year or two he had it. Since he didn't to the TT, I don't know if it would've held up to the movement & stress of towing.

RE: If you had to do it all over again......
When our kids were very much younger, we had a popup. It was great family adventure, they helped setup and it was much better than the tents we used for 10 yrs.
Then, they got a little older and didn't want to help as much. They brought along friends and wanted to walk around campground with them and stuff. We traded to a 5'er with bunk beds. It was perfect. I would usually tow 5'er with truck and 2 or 3 kids. Wife would tow boat with Durango and 2 or 3 kids.
Then, they got even older and often didn't even go with us. Or, would ride over in their own cars a day later. Daughter went off to college and was in marching band. 5'er wasn't so good an option anymore. A few time, I towed 5'er all by my self and wife towed boat by herself or with 2 kids. So, we moved to a 32' class C. Great for tailgating at college football games. When just me and wife going camping, we could take MH and boat at same time. If kids came there was room for them.
NOW...daughter is about to graduate. Son is finishing his 2 year degree at local college and heading 3 hrs away to finish bachelor degree. A 32' class C seems mighty big and empty with just wife and I! We've toyed with idea of dropping to a 23-24' "B+" but aren't really in financial position to do that just yet...college is expensive!
So, my point is, depending on stage in life gives rise to what is best RV. We will likely eventually get that shorted B+ and enjoy it for several years. Then, when retired and on road longer, we might be ready for a class A :)

RE: Footrest for jack knife sofa ideas?
Not prettiest solution but functional, I keep one of the folding step stools in MH for reaching stuff/climbing into over cab bunk/etc and have found putting a pillow or folded blanket on top makes it into a pretty comfortable foot rest. When not in use, it folds up and store in over cab area or behind drivers seat.

RE: Sight Seeing With no Car?
Some things we've done to make quick get out of campsite for MH:
- a brass quick disconnect on water hose at the MH connection. Although it stops water flow when disconnected, I'll still shut of campground spigot/valve.
- slip on adapter for cable tv coax connectors
- small 5lb propane tank for grill and camp stove
- a few baskets placed around interior with no-slip rubber feet stuck on them. Cards, phones, wallets, etc. go in this so when we need to break camp stuff is already out of the way.
- no awning lights. If extra outside light is needed, hang a bucket light or similar from lantern pole most campsites have.
This does mean stuff is left at campsite but so far we've not had anything messed with.

RE: Whatever some may say a Chinook is more a B Than a C
THE HISTORY OF THE MEANINGLESSNESS OF THE RV LETTER-DESIGNATING "SYSTEM"...
"B" was the only thing left by the time van converters got in on the game...
This is the real, true History. Because I say so.
What happened to D to Z? ;)

RE: Whatever some may say a Chinook is more a B Than a C
How did each vehicle base come from factory to RV mfr?
No idea on first one...originally maybe a frame and truck cab chassis? If so, a class C.
The next 4 look like they started life as full vans so class B.
Last one looks like it started as frame and van cab chassis so class C.

RE: State Parks AND a washer/dryer
Another issue depending on park services is waste water. Never had an RV washer/dryer but think sewer hookup at site would be necessary for volume of waste water. Most state parks we've visited only have water/electric hookups.

RE: Leaving Lynx levelers at CG while touring
We leave them and everything else at site when heading out - grill, coolers, chairs, etc. If you ever want to do water hookup, what we do is use a brass quick disconnect at the MH end. Shut water off, disconnect and lay hose off to side.
Left cooler out beside MH at football game tailgating once and several of our beers did go missing :(

RE: Whatever some may say a Chinook is more a B Than a C
As I understand it, in most cases, a B is built within the confines of a van but just with the roof raised for added interior height.
john 'I am Canadian'
Everything I've since since I got into RV's 8 years or so ago is that the "Class" depends on the vehicle they start as...
Class A - Build starts as a frame chassis with drive train (not sure what it is called). There is no cab/body at all. Final product body is all created by RV mfr
Class B - Build starts with a standard van. Final product could include raised roof, pop-up roof, expanded sides, etc.
Class C - Build starts as a cab chassis consisting of frame, drive train and a body cab. Final product body is the original vehicle cab and the RV mfr body attached to frame.
