Haven't done much to mine the last few months. After a series of tornados last year I got busy building a few steel buildings in the area and just haven't had any spare time. Also, wife retired and convinced me to buy a motorhome for longer trips when we don't take the streetrods with us. Just returned from 2 weeks in so. Cal. This motorhome has some features I am going to install on the toter that sure makes life easier. Electric Power cord and water hose reels are just one feature I really liked. My toter has a 50 amp cord and is 35' long...weighs a bunch. I had never looked at motorhomes built like this one and wish I had before I started building the toter. Many other features I would have in installed. Also, it has no leveling jacks, uses the airbags to level. The system is pretty simple. May try to retrofit the toter to a similar system. Hope to get back to work on mine in the next few weeks......if it ever warms up. 4 degrees this morning with 3" of new snow and ice.

GOOD FOR YOU ! (truthfully i thought i was livin' the dream w/ ONE coach....now you've given us all <bad?> ideas)

I get ya w/ the power cords....i got so sick of rolling mine up (along w/ an extension) when we leave & return to storage, that i made a 75' 50A cord that STAYS in our storage bay....funny thing is sometimes i haul it and the 35 ft extension cord w/ me for a grand total of 150ft :roll eyes:

i like the idea of the retractible cord reels (i don't necessarily need power assist)....but i think they take up MORE room, than just coiling the cord in the electrical bay....doesnt stop me from thinking about adding one though

I'm curious what other features the MCI/Prevost had that you like.
