We have purchased the last of our "must haves" for full timing, a Progressive Industries 50 Amp Portable Electrical Management System to protect all of the electronics , a Flow-Pur RV-PRO 10,000 Portable Water Softener to get rid of that hard water that seems to be at most RV parks and a Hydrolife HL-200 exterior water filter in-line before the water softener . We also are going to have solar installed {640 watts worth) and a trip to Mor/ryde for a new IS suspension , we are hoping for a closing this week but we have been living in our rig for over 2 weeks moving whatever we plan to take along with us . We just want it all done so we can make appointments and plan our travel schedule as we also need to end up in South Dakota to change our residency and all of the other things that go along with it. The weird thing is that when we go back to the house there is really no attachment to it other than the hot tub and the pool I don't think we will miss the house at all

Wow, Scott & Linda,
You've done/are doing an amazing job! I forgot, did you get or do you have the new LEDs on the front? Be prepared for losing some sleep while at MorRyde, but it will be worth it. Enjoy exploring Amish country in the area.
I have been reading about how difficult it is to find campgrounds in that area but if you're using Americas Mailbox in Box Elder for residency, they do have their own small campground.
We can relate to not missing your house. We're buying ours back and it should close today (?) one month late and it's a great house for our needs.

Sherry and Jessie, I have not replaced our front lights as of yet ,but we are not using them until we do , this closing delay has hindered making appts. to do solar and mor/ryde , but hey we aren't pressed for time but I sure would like to get started. We are so glad you are getting your old house back ! And we hope you have been enjoying your trip here in the northeast!

Scott you guys are on it. We still need the water purifying system and I just added a slim Dyson vacuum cleaner to the most haves :). Lee's not so sure it's a must have but I am absolutely sure it is :). Anyways...grants to you both. So excited for you and love the way you have attacked this thing.

Have you seen the Shark Rocket stick vac?? It's not cordless but otherwise it is basically the same as the dyson and WAY cheaper! In fact, we opted out of the included Dyson in our 3X and bought a Rocket. Love the Shark vacuums....always been better IMO than Dyson and for the price, it doesn't quite make you cringe as much . The cord is long enough to plug in in middle of coach and easily does the entire coach and super easy to maneuver and empty, etc. Never have to worry about having a charge...in case you are anything like me, and I get sidetracked very easily when cleaning ..HAHA.

OKAY, time to chime in here.
I am loving our progress and at the same time hating STILL being in the hands of lawyers & bankers who don't care how they affect your life!
I LOVE this most-timing and can't wait to get out of here. The stupid vacuum issue is consistent with my inability to be domestic for my entire female life - MUCH to my mother's dismay, LOL

As for vacuums, we had originally purchased a Dyson canister that easily sat inside the bottom of our bathroom towel and supply cabinet. However, Jo got to disliking it because it didn't work well on the carpet in our Mobile Suites. We bought a Shark Navigator NV22. The beater on it works a lot better than the Dyson on the carpet, so it is definitely a keeper. It is kept in the back of the closet behind our coats.

Great input on vacuums...I kept the Dyson from the S&B, but will definitely look into a Shark when it's time...Pam
