Re: [a/s] The dreaded rear bath version in my 27 foot 1973 Over



Rich:
  
         Isn't it, though?  And, it continues.  I just bought a 1995 
29'  Excella last week and, being a curious type, read the Owner's Manual, 
a huge loose-leaf affair.  There are several places where the description 
of the trailer doesn't fit the trailer itself - location of the water pump 
being one, and description of the external dead-bolt lock being another 
(there *is* no externally-lockable deadbolt lock; I'm told that's because 
the '95s incorporate a new lockset that won't open in travel).  But, 
whatever the merits of that explanation may be, wouldn't you think AS would 
know that they installed the new lockset and remove the description from 
the manual?  And, one of the tables in the book don't even acknowledge that 
there *is* such a thing as a 29' excella (or even something close).
         Well, I'll enjoy the trailer - which we love already - use the 
manual where it's accurate (most places), and modify the manual as I find 
discrepancies.  Gotta have something to do, right?
