Hi Everybody,

Picking up our 2024 Bounder this weekend. If Hurricane Debbie allows us to.

First motorhome. We are excited.

Any thing we should know on our first drive to the house?

Everyone have a great day!

Tom and Sheila

Watch lots of Youtube videos for Newbees. I like Coolest Life, they have a RV Playlist with park reviews and tips and tricks.

Thanks Pete and Anthony,

A third party Inspector looked at it yesterday.

He could not get the water heater to work.

We are suppose to pick it up Saturday. We go through a walkthrough first. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Tom

I, too have a 2024 Bounder 35K. Had it since June 7. You'll have Ford's Godzilla engine, the 7.3 V8. Plenty of power. However, when it is pushed, especially when going up a hill and in hot weather, the fan clutch will kick in for extra cooling and it will sound like a jet engine. But, will last a very short time.

Enjoy your new coach!

Thanks Andy, I have a 23 Flex and nearly panic every time that fan kicks on, it is so loud! I assumed that is what it was but was never sure. Thanks
