Hi everyone! My husband and I are brand new 5th wheel owners!!! After much looking, we fell in love with the 2012 Cougar MKS 326. It's a home away from home! We are in our mid 30s and have 3 kids, 10, 7 and 2. You might ask why not a bunk house? Well my husband works away from home most of the year and will be staying in the 5th wheel so we wanted more living space than what the bunk houses offer. The kids and I are currently on vacation with him for the rest of the summer and we don't feel cramped at all! And we are in 100+ degree heat (only 1 AC and its doing the job!!!) everyday so we are inside a lot!
Thank goodness for this forum! The galley water backed up yesterday while my husband was at work. I remembered the levers were in the basement but after pulling the one for gray water, the problem still remained. So after much browsing on here, I found out there is another lever and where to find the darned hidden thing!!! Our walk through was overwhelming and I'm sure we missed a lot. We will be coming back here over and over again for help and advice, especially when it's time to pack up and move it to the next location!!!
We aren't level. It anoys me terribly, my husband doesn't notice. And the movement in here is awful! I felt my first earth quake 2 nights ago (we are in California) and thought at first it was the kids walking around down stairs!!! So the movement issue will be another thing to look into fixing. And although the 1 AC is doing ok, it was 105 here yesterday, I can't cook anything inside or we heat up real quick, so another AC is on the list too. I also loathe the basement doors and am constantly lusting over our neighbors slam latch doors, so new doors in the future??? I am obsessed with looking at everyone else's RVs here at the park, driving down the highway, etc. My husband only looks at what's pulling them, haha!!! We have a 2012 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD Z71 4x4, 4 door with a big cab. It's nice and roomy, no fun to park when shopping!
Thank you everyone for all the wonderful info!!! I don't feel so alone and lost now that I found all of you Happy Camping!!! ~Arevalo's
