New Nomads
Newby Alert!, The wife and I have decided to take to plunge into RV-ing, we just purchased a Tow Vehicle which is a 2007 F350 King Ranch 4x4 crew cab 6.0 with 4:10's and 90k in miles, I just had it bulletproofed, installed new heads, glow-plugs and harness, new High Pressure Oil Pump, IPR, dummy plugs etc. What we did other than stock is new exhaust Magnaflow 4" turbo back and 5" from the cat delete. Bullet proof egr cooler and a remote air/oil cooler from bulletproof. Installed blue spring kit, Wicked Wheel 2, SCT Livewire ts and Dry cold air intake from S&B along with a Sinister coolant filter. Garmin RV760LMT.
We have decided to go the Fifth-Wheel route and have narrowed our search to a 2012-2013 Keystone Raptor Toy-hauler. Looked at a 2010 yesterday that had limited use which we are considering. The unit has a 12 garage and is all original from the original owner. Here are our concerns, since the owner did not use the unit that often generator only has 36 hours on it and will not start. Likely bad gas, I've seen where they recommend not to rebuild the carb on the Onan 5500 but just replace it I am wondering why can't it be rebuilt or just cleaned unless it's a sealed unit? Also I am thinking there is a bunch of sediment in the tank, fuel pump and in-line filter that could be affected as well. Our other concern is that there is only one a/c and no a/c ducts or cooling in the garage which I plan to use as an office. It has a bunk over the garage which brings the ceiling down low for about a third of the garage. There is also a double power bunk at the rear. I noticed there appears to be no insulation in the floor area of the garage does that mean there is none in the walls in the garage? and lastly how difficult would it be to install a second a/c in the roof of the garage?
Thanks
