Ordering a 36FL - Page 2

Campers · 03-11-2012, 04:17 PM

Hi all. Does the matress slide into some thing when you close the slides on the 36fl?

KR2011 · 03-11-2012, 04:26 PM

The dresser drawers push back into the slide when you close both bedroom slides, then when you open them up the dresser drawers have gas shocks that push them back into place.

Well it looks like the factory took my living room chair slide out window idea and made it standard I have found 2 new FL's with my window idea installed and I haven't even received a vin # yet, I wander what my commission is going to be

it does look good. The only problem I can foresee is that the light switch was lowered and now it is just above the chair arm, I might hit the switch by accident where it is now. I also think the window should have been just a couple inches smaller all the way around. Oh ya I better not leave that window open and try to close the slide out, that would be costly.

Hey that looks good!

KR2011 · 03-13-2012, 10:10 PM

It came from my brain! Can you believe it!

You must have gotten lucky the night before

KR2011 · 03-13-2012, 10:19 PM

Is that where I get it from

AS we say in Texas, YEEHAW! Rachel and I made the final decision and ordered our RW36FB today...Didn't want to spend all that money on paint even though the fancy ones are pretty...but they use a lot of black even on the a/c covers which just like our autos and trucks...black is hot and makes your units work harder...options we got convection mw.12ft with icemaker..central vac...fireplace...fantastic fans in bedroom and kitchen..ceiling fan...washer-dryer stackable..40 lb.bottles..30k ac 2nd air with heat pumps..water filtration..gen prep...hide a bed sofa..trail air pin box9tri-glide)..dual payne windows and goodyear g rated tires...We are putting a deposit on it early am as we did not take a check with us tonight,,,
Didn't get the onan --couldn't get a gasoline version and propane use is about 1/2 gallon per hour the propane cost is a little too high and even with 40 lb tanks you'd be spending a lot of time refilling tanks.

This Tuesday we get to go over and tour the factory WHILE MINE IS ON THE PRODUCTION LINE

. Now that's a YEHAW

You have probably had one befored but if you haven;t ; take a camcorder with you to the dealer when picking it up..Video everything you can about set up and operations. You'll be glad you did for things you might forgert..You;ll still have the info at hand

**Dave&Ginny** · 03-16-2012, 11:38 AM

Thanks for the idea, we might try that.

Campers · 03-16-2012, 08:12 PM

So if I put a thicker mattress
on will I have a problem?

**Dave&Ginny** · 03-16-2012, 08:49 PM

I'm not sure...I'm going to be taking the bed out and changing to the "sleep number bed". We have one at our house and we LOVE IT.

KR2011 · 03-16-2012, 09:18 PM

Yes you will have a problem with the thicker mattress it will not go in to the closet slide when you close them together for traveling.

Campers · 03-16-2012, 09:41 PM

Is there any room at all for a thicker matterss? Or is it really tight? Thanks for the info. Any other problems? I know got a lot of questions. Really do appreciate all the help.

RollsRoyce · 03-16-2012, 10:03 PM

Hey gang, while you are at th factory maybe you can clarify the questions about fantastic fans --today I heard from a salesman that they still use fantastic fan only the covers are Maxx

Maybe they will show you the wheel ratings (location) on the wheels for th g upgrade; another sales rep assured me the wheels are definitely heavier duty..MIght even ask abount warranty on the halogen bulb problem and if they have thought about upgrading to led's because of all the problems..and anything else you might have also wondered about

KR2011 · 03-17-2012, 03:25 AM

Campers there is no room for a thicker mattress it pushes the bottom dresser drawers to the back of the closet slide and gas shocks push the drawers back out into place when you open the slides.

TravelinAnderson · 03-17-2012, 07:38 AM

Like KR2011 mentioned, the pillow top mattress will slide into the dresser without issue. However if you add an additional memory foam pad or use a thick bedspread you may. Just watch the bed as it slides in to verify that you have the clearance you need. If not, pull the bedspread and/or pad back before pulling the slides in.
