We bought our 2003 IB30 exactly 6 yrs ago w/20K miles... now @ 42K, camped in Yuma, after Qsite and the LD Caravan at LaPaz/Parker, AZ. We began in 2007 with a '96 Midbath; we traded up to get a living room floor plan and still glad we did.
Our IB30 two limitations: 1] takes a mile to make a 180° turn (with my wife covering her eyes) 2] weight, like everyone mentions. We so wanted install sat.dish on roof, but settled for Tailgater (DISH). Do have levelers which for us are a must-have. Recently upgraded entertainment to 42" LED on a swing arm that works great. Since most outings are 2-4 weeks only, we keep storage stuff to absolute minimum; ie. not bbq grill, or heavy tools, or etc. etc. also a factor in shopping!!
>> Wishes/Wants? • replace barrel chairs (been looking for years) • replace lights wLEDs
••• For prospective LD buyers - Larry's advice = rent and try is solid and sound. 2nd best = go out of your way to find friendly LD owners who will gladly "show & tell" for you.
Jack, thanks for your informative post. If possible, would you post a some photos of your 42" TV and how you mounted it?

Hi Chris - Sure, glad to share. The actual installation was done by CJs now in Foothills east of Yuma. Going down the road, tv is fully retracted and firmly held by a hefty lock pin (see in pic). The goal was to NOT loose use of the two forward storage cabinets ... and accomplished. It tilts left-right and up-down, allowing for truly best viewing angles. TV is Samsung w/apps, etc.

Thanks, Jack. I would say you maxed out use of available space. Makes my 26" flat screen install look pretty puny.

Love this mounting system.
Do you know the manufacture and model number of the mounting system?
Thank you,
Mark
That looks like what LDy Lulubelle's previous family did. It's on there securely, but when we're traveling I boost it up onto that ledge, put a towel over the screen, & run a bunge from the back cabinet knobs.

Sorry Mark, the installer ordered overnight from a catalog. Was the largest model that handles 35lbs (our TV is 16 lbs). Has about 14" of in/out movement. If i find anything, I'll gladly post.

I think this post takes the record for time lapse between asked and answered.
