    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Long-term Durability CO vs NCO

    Having just purchased an older CO I'm not prepared to compare the two just yet. I've had the NCO for going on 25 years and the interior height is fine for me and I'm 6'3"...no bumps, bruises, scrapes....plenty of clearance. The CO water intrusion is an issue I'm contemplating this season...I...

    bringing it back from Washington I used 4x4's...but I'm going to frame it with aluminum channel and create a drawer for more "stuff". If Brian used 4x6's...I better call...5 1/2" is a bit too much....I'd end up with more storage over the bed rails..more work is the new factory taking up the...
