CwglIndn. Welcome to the Forum and the Former Rental Owners Club.
It sounds like you did your homework and the refurbished one sounds like a much better deal,the awning is a very good idea. The Warranties are a bit steep for what you get,I assume they still come with the 3-Month/3,000 Mile Limited Warranty. That fly/drive perk is a nice one,others here have used it and it worked well for them.
That may be enough to get by for now if there is any immediate problems. Do look into an inspection, anything that is found may still be covered by warranty. Also go thru the unit and if you find anything wrong make them fix it before delivery,they seem to be very good at that from what I have seen here in this thread.
After delivery and your trip home please come on back and tell us how it all went,problems,fixes,any information that may be helpful to the others here.
Again welcome and good luck and hopefully your August vacation plans will work out.

I was in Phoenix doing my annual work training. I've been lurking this thread for a couple of years, so the day I flew in to Phoenix, I paid the Cruise America facility there a visit.
They currently have a $3100 saving off of their normal prices right now until the end of March.
I'm under the impression that they don't haggle very often; so this seems like a decent deal.
Thanks for sharing this. It looks like a great time to buy if you are thinking of buying a Former Rental.You are right they don't haggle on the price.
So did you put your deposit down on one? :@ :B
It looks like the other majors are also having sales too.

The Ford V10 is a screamer and high revs are not a problem beyond your ears ๐ The switch just changes shift points for max power sooner (climbing) and engine compression braking sooner (downhill). Comfort is sacrificed for better performance... if you think about it compared to an empty van you are always towing/hauling all that RV mounted on the frame. Keep reading on it, do what feels good but I will tell you that you should ABSOLUTELY have it on for extended downhill runs... overheated brakes are a bummer.

Update... My only question right now has to do with the necessity of keeping Tow/Haul mode constantly engaged. CA put a sticker on the gear shift that urged keeping it in this mode for better fuel economy. But I find that the gears are not shifting smoothly and race the engine to 4,000 RPMs plus before finally changing. That can't be good, especially when just starting out and the engine / transmission fluid are cold. Today, I finally disengaged the feature and it runs so much more smoothly...and much lower rpms. Appreciate any wisdom shared here.

I think the cabover window is Lexan. The original Roadbear graphic was removed but the image is kind of burned into the substrate, maybe from the sun. Can't feel any adhesive. I used some WD40 and it seemed to help. Barely readable now.Just don't want to advertise for RoadBear without compensation:).
