Not as Mon, 09 Nov 2009 21:39:31 GMT john hepkin http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/ChinookRVOwners/message/2370 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/ChinookRVOwners/message/2370 Hi Bud I see you are still looking. I cant speak for the Concourse since I have never driven or used one. The smaller size seems to be a big plus as far as Mon, 09 Nov 2009 20:41:02 GMT wilcoxsrchn@... http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/ChinookRVOwners/message/2369 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/ChinookRVOwners/message/2369 One of the features we use a lot when our family visits are the 9 seat belts in our concourse and our previous premier. Dont know the set up for the Destiny in Mon, 09 Nov 2009 20:22:51 GMT Azriel http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/ChinookRVOwners/message/2368 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/ChinookRVOwners/message/2368 I am wondering, If you switch from regular oil to synthetic oil, do you have to start with a mixed blend first.

Some do not and I am 11 1/2 feet to the top of my satellite Mon, 09 Nov 2009 17:04:20 GMT Clutterking SBC http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/ChinookRVOwners/message/2366 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/ChinookRVOwners/message/2366 Bud, When we decided to buy a Chinook, we wanted either a Concourse or Premier, whichever we found first. Size was the biggest draw. You can park them at home Mon, 09 Nov 2009 15:44:36 GMT rrjann http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/ChinookRVOwners/message/2365 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/ChinookRVOwners/message/2365 I have never been turned away from a quick oil change place, and I've stopped at all brands of them from Canada to Florida, from NC to Texas.
