I believe that we have the Super Z LT on our CRV

Those links are a big help Steve, thanks. I am going to read my Pilot's owner's manual to see what is recomended by Honda.

I had a chance to look at a Rhapsody. They used the steerable tag and the same front door as the Newell. Nothing else was the same. It had a 600 hp Cat and a Cat 6 speed transmission. Looked like a Allison painted yellow but they called it a Cat. This was a new coach but looked like it had 100,000 miles on it. They said it was sold. Poor guy. Tuga, Forget the chains. That Cajun pilot will do just fine.

Tuga, I agree, forget the chains, they are really a pain to use and wreck your vehicle. Your four wheel drive will get you anywhere. Let us know when finish your trip how many vehicles you see with chains on.

Tuga, I am going to dogpile with forget the chains. The four wheel drive will get you anywhere you NEED to go. The ski resorts make sure the roads get plowed, or else they don't have any business. If it's icy, chains are marginal help, and you don't need to be driving in that anyway.

Tuga,
Think twice about advice, it is worth what you pay for it. There is a reason that Cables are made for your vehicle.

Here is a Country Coach Rhapsody. I must say, they do resemble a Newell in many ways....http://www.mhsrv.com/inventory_item.asp?id=610627

They are just down the road from me. I'll have to go down and take a look, although they keep the top shelf stuff locked when the lot is open. The other rigs are open when the business is open.

I found it curious that the instrument cluster was actual gauges. CC has been using the virtual dash from VMS for a long time, and the coach obviously has the total VMS package looking at the screen to the right of the driver.

Check out the buy/sell/trade classifieds here. Someone has a 2005 that burned. Says the suspension is good including a steerable tag.
I know that some of the guys on here need a new project?
How about it Richard? Now that you have your steering figured out, this should be a piece of cake!

A post on the burned 2005 was also made on the RVNet forum and Richard I think it was posted that he should post here. I sure would like to know the background on the fire.
