After a week in the South Carolina sun in our new Big Country, I have a couple of things to complain about and need to know how to remedy them. Before I go on complaining, the list of great things about our Big Country are much longer than these complaints. I can't tell you how many folks slowed down on their golf carts to say what a nice rig I have, we are the only Big Country in the park. This is a sea of Sierra's, Montana's, and Cedar Creek's. And honestly, only one is more impressive than the Big Country exterior and that is a full body paint Cedar Creek that just rolled in, everything else is just so blaaa... We have all the room we will ever need. Well, I think we will ever need, anyway! Going home with all the laundry washed and dried without going to the laundromat, priceless.
Now, to the point. I don't really like the electric awning. At first, it was great because it is so easy. But I'm used to a manual one that I had de-flappers and tie-downs on. I put it out and left it unless a big storm was coming. This electric one has been in more than it has been out. Maybe I'm being gunshy, but man it really flaps in the constant ocean breeze. Does anyone have any advice about this?
Second, one air conditioner is not cutting it during the day. It has been in the upper 80's and low 90's all week and during the day, it gets up into the upper 70's in the BC. The worst is the bunkroom. It has the ceing fan, but it really gets warm back there for the kids. I'm thinking, obviously, of getting a 2nd AC, but I want to put in the bunkroom and take out the fan. What do you think? I'm guessing that most go 2nd AC's go up front. Where is the wiring already ran? Up front? I also am concerned about the extra height of putting it up front. How much taller would it put me? The brochure says I am 12'9" now.
Any input or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, as always.
