Rates are favorable and will carry the loan for up to 20 years. I’m not certain if they finance Florida residents. You can’t go wrong by asking LD if they have any recommendations. Kent

If next winter is anything like this winter we will be going the southern route since it will likely be the dead of winter. Yep...we timed that GREAT! LKThere are lots of folks on this forum that has done the I-10 across the southern states. During the winter the only 'sticky' spot is getting over New Mexico. Texas is forever <smile>. Louisiana is not bad. I guessing up can pick either LA or the state of Mississippi to head up to Tennessee. Take advantage of the idea of shipping needed supplies and must have items to the factory. When you pick up the LD you'll have the stuff you need. If you buy the some stuff at the factory you can pay for those things with a check. There will be a sales tax added - I think is 6 to 7 per cent. The things that they have are cheaper there then in other stores.One more suggestion - read the manual. It is full of good information. The RV world is full of old wife tales. The LD manual or Ford manual is the bible - trust em. I photocopied it. They will ask for it back when they give you the newer version. glen 1 Likes

At least you can still trave with a broken step, unless you are hung up on a curb of course.Many time the electric steps fail with the step out. Several years ago it happened to us on a cold, rainy day.The electric motor seized and had to be removed to allow manually cranking the step back in, a procedure most would have no idea how to do. Lots of fun laying on your back, in the wet, trying to retract the broken step.My wife insisted on an electric step and it has failed several times over the last 16 years. The motor seized once, the gearbox jammed with debris (the gearbox isn't sealed), the main power plug corroded and the magnetic reed switch, that senses the door opening and closing, failed. The magnetic reed switches was wired in LD's usual fashion, wires pull tight so there is next nothing to work with. Along with the above, you still need to periodically need to lube the the arm pivots.A folding RV step may be a better idea.Idealchoice Aluminum Folding Platform Steps, Portable RV Step Stool, Folding...larry 1 Likes As an Amazon Associate Lazy Daze Owners' Group earns from qualifying purchases.
