    I know it has only been a week, but I really think I am going to enjoy this deal. I have not talked to anyone that had anything bad to say about the ownership or management of the company. (One guy did complain about having to drive a pro star, but he kinda seemed like one of those guys that complain to complain. )

    I had a ProStar, and my company turned it in for a new Pete 579. I had much much rather drive the ProStar.

    I was not saying anything bad about them, just this guy did not like them. Some are small bunk flat roofs I could see how he'd want more room, but it seemed to me he's just a guy that has to complain.

    The ProStar I drove had a 75" standup sleeper, with tons of cabinet and storage space. I turned the new Pete back in after one week and got in a '09 Volvo 630 with 790,000 miles on it. My choice, didn't care for the Pete much.

    I was taught to open Chicago fitting and leave it open. Open dome lid and flip two jocks up that is opposite of the hinge. If water can get in (rain) rest the dome lid on locks, if blue bird sky, leave it flipped up.
