Rocky,
The trailer was custom built under the name Wildfire. They are located north of Atlanta up in the hills near the northern border of the state.
We haul our pit (street) car and a race car. The side ramp allows us to drive the golf cart in sideways.
Our coach shows 485hp on the engine plate but 500 hp in the owners manual. Whatever it is, we have no problem making our 63 mph while towing with cruise control but I DO keep an eye out for hills and try to get a running start when one comes along. Hills definitely are more challenging with a loaded trailer.
Our brakes on the trailer are electrically operated and really do their job well; without them stopping takes on a whole new dimension!
The trailer weighs about 7500# empty and somewhere in the 11,000# range when loaded depending on what we take with us. The tongue weight is 950 to 1100# again depending on the load.
Our fuel mileage drops about 1 mpg when hauling the trailer.Tom,
The trailer is 13’4″. The H is 12’8″ but the dish and antennas bring it up to 13’4″ also. -
You have not signed your message with coach information.
I was under the impression that ISRI was used for the drivers seat and passengers seats were Villa brand.
G o to CHASSIS section page 3 on PC forum topics . I did a repair post on Villa leg rest.
Villa is still in business and very helpful customer service.

We use it all the time. It sets up easily and is a good way to keep the interior cooler in summer and avoids having to live with the remainder odors of cooking. Ours is a Jenn Aire and has hotplates as well as the grill. No problem cleaning.

And Charles forgot to mention this
famous OK person had to upgrade to the Binford 1100, Extreme Duty Chopper
and still has amperage issues! -
I suspect the coach is already set up to receive TV input from over the air digital, DVDs, satellite, and cable. The problem is not that you need to set it up to do things it already can, but that you need to know how to press the right buttons on the Crestron or whatever control Marathon used to make it work.
This is where training and pre-purchase inspections become critical. You will either find out how to make it work, or you will find out it doesn’t work as intended and needs repair.

I found new set 4 corners with back fastners on E-bay last fall for $180. Might even check out new price and there was a set of fiberglass ones floating around for sale awhile back. I’ll see if I can find source for you. Also IBP at Apoka Fl. Bob

There is also a KOA at exit 53 in Walterboro that is reported to have very large pull thrus it is right off the exit. Not quiet as far south but you don’t have that long drive into HH from 95, hope this helps, Bill

My old habits die hard but still surprise me how often I get tingled especially on Sticks & Staples. Only have to get hit wrong once. Thanks for your better explanation!
