Re: Advancing Alvar
Avanti, I forgot to include that Imagine has an electric heating element attached under the fresh water tank. Imagine does not have the fire-hose gizmo, instead it has standard flexible hosing from...

Re: Advancing Alvar

Re: Advancing Alvar
Here are 2 shots of the raised floor in the ARV coach "Imagine". The raised part begins at the margin with the carpet. And there is a small storage nook.

Re: Advancing Alvar
We installed the raised floor in the AVR known as Imagine. Yes, as I understand it, the trigger for the raised floor was to allow the feet to rest on the floor when the seats are swiveled around...

Re: Advancing Alvar
Champagne was a definite part of the ceremony when we picked up Imagine. However, we did not share any with the ground or Imagine's bumpers.

Re: Advancing Alvar
With respect to the move next door for ARV -- I don't think they'll be ready for that until the end of January.

Re: Advancing Alvar
I tried to press ARV for more details on the Solar Panels and all I could get was that they are custom made to ARV specifications in Germany. My Spec Sheet says 450 watt Solar Panels.

Re: Advancing Alvar
ARV installed a Residence Safe (US patent D617974) in Imagine. It uses one 9v Alkaline battery. I also promised to research the solar panels. While the documentation indicates that a Max-MPPT...

Re: Advancing Alvar
