Classbbud-If you've asked for a whopping battery pack, that's one area to scale back easily. There's a lot of investment in those and, as David has said here and elsewhere - 800 Ah is really more...

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

I'll share a couple of things ARV did for Imagine. 1) Added a second heat exchanger behind the driver side rear tires to circulate air warmed by the hydronic system (primary heat exchanger remains...

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...

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...

Van Williams: I will be getting a large binder of useful OEM information tomorrow when I take delivery of IMAGINE at ARV. I will see if the solar panel manufacturer and specs are included and post...

Re: Advancing Alvar

From the brief conversation I had with Brittany, I learned that they number the "delivered units" ... perhaps as a function of RVIA reporting or some such. At any rate, I think there were clearly...

Re: Advancing Alvar

When Pam and I visited ARV in September '14, Brittany Immormino mentioned in casual conversation that they were outgrowing their current production space. I inferred from that conversation that they...

Re: Advancing Alvar

Re: Advancing Alvar

USAussie, you would not be the first to be convinced to go with Advanced RV because of Davydd's postings. He convinced me that ARV was the way to go. I am now eagerly waiting delivery of my own...
