    Can your fiancé work?

    You're gonna notice sooner or later with the cascadias that they won't like to crank. In the last three months I've had two clutch switches replaced from no crank issues. Breakdown knows me by the sound of my voice now.

    I don't know her situation, but if she can't work an office job, she can't be operating a truck. You know as well as I do that driving a truck is a high stress job and takes physical effort. Wait til you run across the places where it's driver unload and there's no lumpers to pay. Those are fun because we're only allowed to use the standard pallet jack because we're not licensed to use the power jack.

    Hmm. Got the truck. Needs new steer tires. Right one is bad.

    Was just wondering about the size of the beds on the prostars. Seemed like the bed in my 2nd mentors eagle was alot bigger. Bottom bed in the cascadia definitely wasn't meant for 2 :p

    Can't say about the bed in the PornStar+ but the cascadia has a standard twin on the bottom. If I can fit myself and my big ### ex husband in a cascadia, you can do it too. Just gotta cuddle :p The cascadia top bunk is camper twin.

    There will be a thermostat under the sleeper climate control. Turn it and the green light in the center will come on. It's slow to start because it has to warm and ignite the fuel. Ignition has to be off for it to work. I keep mine at 1/4 and it's toasty.
     
    Marky84 Thanks this.
