Question What is something in or about your coach you could not live without in the next coach

+1 on the Electric Gate Valves. This is the one thing that always gets used...and has saved me from having countless headaches. Having the Wet Bay under the Full Wall Slide was a real pain...now, it’s not a problem anymore.

Come on you guys. Getting out in the pouring rain/snow/sleet in the middle of the night to empty the tanks is my jam! Just can’t wait to have to do it. ?

I can buy that logic! Even remembering to ALWAYS wear a hat when I go to the wet bay, I've had my share of headaches.

I will never buy another unit that doesn’t have both a grey and black tank rinse.

That may be a bit limiting. Are there ANY RVs that have a rinse for the gray tank? I am not aware of any.

Even though we live out west, having heated floors is REALLY nice. But, I'll second the automatic gate valves. Some don't find it an issue and it may not be for them. We have a full wall slide over the wet bay and I have a bad back and knees. With an all electric coach with a dishwasher, washing machine and macerator toilets, we can fill the black and grey tanks quickly. With the SaniCon unit, I can connect to the sewer in under a minute and leave the grey tank open. When the black tank gets full, which happens quickly with macerator toilets, I just electrically open the black tank valve and it drains in a few minutes, no need to even turn on the macerator. The best part, the morning of departure, all my tanks are empty before I go outside. I start the coach, bring in the slides and in less than five minutes, my shore connections are all stowed, no waiting to dump.

Washer and dryer. Our first RVs (5 of them, IIRC) didn't have a washer and dryer. Our Bounder had one in it, we thought it was a waste of space. We used it a few times and decided we'd never have another RV without one.

We have the hook ups for the washer/dryer but our used coach didn't come with one. I'm assuming it failed and wasn't replaced by the original owner. We have hesitated in buying one because of all the people that said they never use theirs. I'm still torn. We're usually not gone more than a week at a time so we can just bring the clothes home to wash them. But it would be nice to have!!

Welcome to RVF, @malexander; glad to have you join us. Would love to hear more about you, your RV and your experiences.

That's what we thought, lol. It doesn't matter if we're just gone for the weekend to the lake. We don't have to do laundry when we get home.

Diesel engine. I'm in the mountains so much of my driving is up/down 8% grades. Never again want to do that without a diesel.

What is something you love about your RV that you could not live without if you got a new RV?

For me - it's electric gate valves. I cannot stress enough what a dream this is to be able to dump tanks without going outside and crawling under a slide. For those that don't have this I cannot sell this hard enough to get it. It is a dream and I could not see having another RV without being able to dump tanks from inside the coach.

1. A Murphy bed for great space utilization. 2. Solar panels, a must for boondockers.
