Just pulled Back into the driveway in SLO. Toyhaulers sold it to us for ----, which beat everyone else by $1500 to $3000 may be worth the drive. Picked it up on friday and headed out!
We ended up near Edison lake at 9000' in a nice camp area with a nice lake (Portal Forebay). Road in was a treacherous 23 mile, one lane, windy, narrow, cliff on one side ,boulders on the other road. Was awesome and scary at times, but it keeps the riffraff out! The trailer tracked very well and my truck didn't even know it was there. The campgroud had pit toilets and no water. I'll post my story and such after in settle in. rgds John

Looking forward to hearing about your experience. We are seriously considering the 180 and not sure what dealer we will use. The closest dealer is Fresno, except there is no road over the mountain, so we may use one in Reno.
Have a great time and hearing all the details. |

Ours was winterized from the factory and had to be sanitized before we used the water. See if the dealer will de-winterize for you too.

You manually set it to propane, the icons on the left side show what mode you are in.

Thanks for the fridge tip, is there a three way switch that you set to your preference or is it automatic?
They wired my batteries together, and i planned to mount a marine style shutoff/1/2/both. never thought about just using one at a time. I'm pondering this one;) rgds John
