First short trip will be next week!

This is funny because we almost bought a ACE 29.3 TWICE!!!! In fact it is why we joined this site. Neither of the units we were looking to buy could ever get past PDI. We simply did not wish to trust the dealer to fix later. Then Thor dropped making the ACE 29.3 and I knew then we were out. (Add in they were harder to find as we wanted two ACs). The Sunstar/Vista 29VE has 100 cuft more storage space than the ACE 29.3
But the layouts are identical and what we wanted. In hindsight, we feel we backed in lucky with Winnebago. The Coach, Winnebago, and the Dealers thus far have been awesome. When you live in it a little you start to see the details and upgrades that Winnebago installed. i.e. The MCD black out shades throughout coach (no curtains), the Bus like fasteners on compartment doors, power management system, location of batteries under steps etc. I did like and want the Residential Fridge some of ACE 29.3s; but after 6 months I am not so sure anymore. Our outside Fridge is on an inverter and when we boondock; we can run everything the full day and at 7:00 AM the next morning the AGS kicks on to recharge batteries. The main fridge is running off propane that seems to last forever and dirt cheap. We have yet to fill our main fridge in part because we load 80% of the drinks in the outside fridge.
But you went big with the Precept
I am 100% certain that you picked the perfect coach for you and your family. Congratulations.. you SOB...
