Hello from Oregon in a 195

Just picked up the 195 last week.  Started looking at 179.  Shout out to Doyle & Mark @ Highway Trailer Sales in Salem.  They were great, no pressure, to work with.  Not a promotional for them, but when you get good service you should share it. 

Got out of a 2014 Sunnybrook (Winnie) 1800FB.  We used it pleasurably for 2 years.  Why did we switch?  Wanted more room, walk around bed (I'm at that age ), rear kitchen, more storage, larger shower....could go on.  Only option we added was the GoPower 90w panel with controller.  Keep those batteries juiced!  I added a 2nd 12v AGM battery.  Maybe I should have opted for twin 6v...any comments?  I also removed the 2 seating stools (now a 196?) and replaced the factory mattress with a full size queen bed.  Still plenty of walk around room. All of this for the same UVW.  No brainer.

Couple of questions:

Furion radio has zero AM reception, boosted or not.  Any comments?

Does anyone know where to get a 195 specific cover?

First 2 week boondock trip coming up.  Rafting the Deschutes river and hitting Wallowa lake & Joseph, OR.  Shake down report and photo to follow.

Woot!

I find it far easier to deal with batteries as a "box of watt-hours". Multiply the AH by the voltage will give you a good approximation of the watt-hours (E.G. 110 AH at 12V is 1320 watt-hours). After that, you don't have to worry about series or parallel (except to get the voltage you need), just add up the watt-hours.

That's how they now talk about EV batteries, and it makes a lot of sense, as watts is power. Amp-hours is only current flow.
