Thanks for the info, Dave. I'll check out the DVD and TVs today. Didn't get it home until after 6PM last night due to 2 wrecks on I-20 from Dallas. It was a nightmare! All the family came over after I got home to look at it so most of my time was simply showing them around. I've been going through all the manuals this morning just to see what was there and i have downloaded some additional info from the internet. I'll be putting together a file box so I can locate everything easily. A gas engine is definitely different from a diesel but I had no power-related problems. It actually drove better than my 2007 Fleetwood Discovery did and unless I was on a steep hill and the transmission downshifted a couple of gears, it wasn't as noisy as the Discovery was. I stopped to fill up when I got home and wasn't real fond of where the gas fill is located. It was up front just behind the driver on each side and easy to see when you were in position. With the filler in the rear I had to get out to see if the hose would reach and then get back in and move it a couple of times. Then when the rear end is even with the pump the coach is blocking a lot of real estate at the pumps. That will take some getting used to and looking for stations where I will have ample room. Another little thing that disappointed me just a tad is the rear and side view camera monitor. The screen is only 6" (was 7.2" in the D), the display is not as crisp/clear, and there are no backup guides on it. But for $100,000 less than a new Discovery I can live with all of that and more!!!!

I look forward to participating and learning in this forum. Thanks a bunch.
