RE: THIS IS DRIVING ME NUTS!!
I had the same problem, talked with Brake Buddy and was told that most of the cigarette lighters are very weak because the wire that most car manufacturers use is undersized. They suggested getting a 12 volt Battery Direct Kit that they sell for $ 20.00, it's a dedicated outlet that gets wired directly to your battery with an in-line fuse. I bought one and have not had a problem since.

RE: Panama City, Florida RV Campgrounds
Emerald Coast RV and Panama City Beach Resort are both nicely paved with concrete and/or pavers, also a lot of landscaping. These two are more for the RVers, St Andrews is more for the campers among us, a lot of sand and natural foliage. By the time all the extra ammenities are added in at Emerald Coast, you'll be around $80.00/nite which we just paid in April.

RE: SurgeGuard power Protection SALE !!
That's a very reasonable price, I bought ours five years ago on sale for $279.00. Very cheap insurance for something that might not happen to you!

RE: Restaurants in Gulf Shores, AL
LuLu's is always on our short list, along with the Oyster House. In Bon Secour try The Tin Top Restuarant, really great seafood.

RE: Charlottesville VA to Pittsburgh PA
Best route for your rig, IMHO is I-81 to Hagerstown, I-70 to Breezewood, PA Turnpike to New Stanton exit, I-70 towards Canonsburg. If you have a little time Rt. 522 between Winchester and Hancock is a pretty drive with a few little towns and low traffic volume, a lot of it is a two lane road.

RE: New - opinions, comments, or suggestion on our 2003 Condor
We owned a 2003 Condor 1340...35' long with two slides. Bought it new in 2003 and traded it in 2010 for our current rig. It was on a Workhorse P32 chassis with the 8.1 Chevy engine and the 4L80E transmission, Onan 5.5 generator, and PowerGear hydraulic levelers. For the price point of the rig it was a decent piece that I drove for 48,000 miles.
A few pointers would be to replace the shocks with Monroe RV Magnums, set the front airbags to 80 psi, and put a rear tracbar on it. These three items will get it driving very comfortable. All of the house appliances were basically the same as you'll find on most other A gassers.
The one big headache we had was the AUTOPARK system.....the electronic operated parking brake failed five times in less than three years. Workhorse, after a lot of prompting, replaced the electrics and installed a new hydraulic pump which worked without a hitch the last four years that I had the rig. If you would have a problem with the AUTOPARK system, there is a forum member known as oldusedbear who has a whole library on the system.
Happy travels!

RE: Shocks
I put the Koni FSD's on my Spartan Mountain Master Chassis with a straight front axle in April 2012. Very pleased with the controlled ride and the difference in hitting the highway joints and bridge transitions without jarring your teeth.

RE: Which is the easiest on the back?
We started with a C class, went to an A class gasser, then to a DP. During the transitions, I've had a knee surgery, lower back surgery, and (2) hip replacements. The DP in my opinion is has been the best for me because of ease of entry, room and comfort of driver's seat, set-up for leveling when you get to your destination, etc. Close friends that we travel with at times have a 5er that always require a lot of set-up time for leveling, has more and steep steps, and also has interior steps. Toad hook-up with Blue-ox equipment is minimal.

RE: What did you do to your Class A MH today???
Cleaned and organized the basement, sanitized the water systems, turned the propane on and fired off the stove, fridge, and hot water tank. Opened the four slides and baby powdered the seals. Cleaned and lubed the towbar, hooked up the umbilical to the toad and ran a light check all in anticipation of launching next Tuesday morning for a three week trek. The DW has been stocking the inside, last thing for me to do is a good exterior cleaning this weekend and we'll be good to go.

RE: Making Plans
Baileyton is a nice little campground we've used as an overniter the past few years on our treks down south. It's very quiet in an out in the country setting. The staff is friendly and the grounds are kept well, and the seasonals appear to be friendly as we walked our furkids.

RE: Color of toad?
We had silver which was pretty decent, the last one was a purple HHR(Chevy called it amethyst)that showed dirt real quick. Our new toad is champagne which should be really good at hiding dirt, plus it matches the rig really well.

RE: ReadyBrake/Brute System with Equinox Questions
I installed a Blue-Ox baseplate on my Equinox this past weekend, etrailer.com has a lot of how to videos on their site that is specific to your vehicle. I used the videos for the baseplate and the lighting harness install.

RE: Overheating ISC
The Cummins shop outside of Birmingham told me it was normal for my rig to run between 201 and 212, obviously it is the thermostat engineered for that year. You can watch the gauge going down the road cycling between 201 and 212. Also, Allison says there no issues with the tranny at those temps.

2013 Chevy Equinox delivery
Well, we decided to get a new toad. Trading in our 2006 HHR on a new Equinox LT AWD model. The HHR served us well for seven seasons and approx. 49K miles pulled behind the rig. It will be the DW's daily driver, but I welcome the extra room I'll have when driving it. We're scheduled to drive it off the dealer lot this afternoon. I ordered the Blue-Ox baseplate, a new plug&play wiring harness for the brake/taillight/turnsignals, and a new breakaway switch for the BrakeBuddy. All the parts should be here by early next week so I can get everything hooked up for our first trek out on April 17.
My only wish is that it tows as well as the HHR did.
Anyone out there towing an Equinox or GMC Terrain care to share your experience with this toad?
Thanks

RE: MEMORY FOAM MATTRESS
Solidfiction, the brand name is Comfort Dreams. I just checked their website, they still carry it. As stated earlier, get the soft unless you want a hard mattress. This topic came up a few years ago and after reading the reviews, I choose the soft, and happy I did because I wouldn't want it any firmer. We have not experienced any heat problems with our mattresses, most of our travels has been in the south and southwest where we've stayed in some extreme heat, and no evidence of wet/condensation under the mattress.
