Welcome to the world famous Guaranty RV Centers here in Junction City OR.
I'm Gary Christiance but you know me as the van guy.
Well, today i've got something a little bit bigger than
a van, it's kind of like going camping with dynamite.
But to do that, you'd need a fuse!
Let's go take a look at the Fuse.
It's a 23 A model, so that says that it's got the rear
bathroom with twin beds, come on inside, let's take a peek.
Electric step is a nice touch.
Now this is a nice, very open floor plan, and as usual I usually migrate back to the
rear of the coach to start out which I'll do on this occasion.
So, pretty nice bathroom, you've got good head room, we've got a coat
hanger already in place, we've got a nice flexible cover for you.
Nice mirror, little shelves, nice sink faucet raised up a little
bit, solid surface, good position for your toilet you can actually sit there and get
your feet stretched out, water pump switch is right here so you don't have to go back
to the master panel, you've got good drawer storage, hanging space, yeah you get all that
stuff when you buy it, it all comes in there, but we put it away.
So, you've got a door that slides, you push right here, it releases
the door so you can close it, otherwise if you leave it like this it's locked in place
and it won't move.
Notice the flooring it's you leave it like this it's locked in place
and it won't move.
Notice the flooring it's all back-lit so you can see them.
MCD pull down shades, cuts down the light and gives
you great privacy.
TV's right in here, that does have a swing out bracket.
You heard that that's a positive catch right here.
So here's your command center, solar charger's running
away, you can check there it shows hot water heater, here's your battery, here's your tanks,
slide out switches right out here, holding tank heater is right here if it's getting
a little cool out.
All back-lit up on top, nice feeling, little shelf in here, these
do have the cushioned mattress, so there's little inserts you can put in here to make
it just to the right setting.
Nice storage down below, another drawer on this side, and
if you wondered where the table tops are, they're right here.
So table tops are stored here, you have a spot for a table here as
well as up front, and these do look like they fill in this spot if you want to try to slide
these together and make it a bigger bed.
Speakers on both sides for your sound system, and great
storage, here's your privacy curtain.
So what we were talking about earlier with the privacy
curtain is here are all the doo-dads they're putting up, airbags and stuff, they've kind
of gotten away a little bit in putting them in the up-front area, and they've got little
hangers right here that you can block off your bedroom area to hang them.
So it provides a good area for privacy.
Of course twin beds, and what we've got for too-tall Jones is this
extension, which is kinda nice.
That way if you have somebody who's really tall, that
way you've got an extension on this side for an additional space.
It's kind of a cool deal.
You've got a little cushion for the front seat so if you need a smaller person, they've
already got it built in.
I'm going to have to drop that down to get the refrigerator
open.
All right, so Norcold double door refrigerator.
Nice deep recess here, that way if you left a bag of ice in there or something you wouldn't
have to worry about it coming out in your coach it'll all stay in this little tray and
you can clean it out.
Convection microwave, you saw the rack and stuff in the back.
Another window, 110 outlet, USB ports.
More storage.
You know what, I think we want to take somebody along, let's make a bed for them.
So the way this works is you pull this out like this.
See the seat belts?
So easy a salesman can even do it.
Nice easy bed to make out, it its pretty tight too.
Now you have to make sure you kind of angle this down so it slides
down there, otherwise it'll be tilted this way so when you sit down, you're going to
be leaning forward.
Kitchen area, where's that kitchen?
Unfortunately you don't have any big drawers in the kitchen, just these
little teeny ones.
Nor do they have a spot for a big garbage can, unlike that one.
Nice deep sink.
I think the Fuse even won like best of show or something like that, another
award back in Louisville.
It's a really popular unit, we've been just champing at the bit
to get it.
This is the first one that we've got in with this floor plan.
high output over here, low burner, all recessed, flush.
A little heat shield up here.
Split shelf.
and this is a bigger one so you can put something up
there, just for storage.
Counter extension up on the end, nice little shelf place up
in here, kind of got the power and digital antenna up on top, Air conditioner, Fantastic
Fan, nice TV set, good storage over here, over here, and, behind door number 3, back
in here.
So you have all your hookups that you can access for your electronics stuff,
DVD player, CD and I was pointed out that this tells us we've got a remote right here,
so you can access all this while it's all closed up, this switch turns on to the TV,
passenger seat swivels around, driver's seat is locked in place with no swivel, this is
the diesel Ford, 5 cylinder of course comes standard on this unit.
The previous one, I talked to the driver and saw the screen and it was 17.1 miles per gallon,
his comment was he did get a little over 18 as he drove it back.
You can see right in here if you would, in the side door looking down you can see all
your storage, and then if you would just pan up from that, there's another one down below
the dash, and then there's another cup holder there just above it.
Plenty of storage, you've got a nice center console, 12v outlet up there.
Got a little storage just above there too, right in this area for putting maps or something
like that in there.
Very nice interior, big open nice warm feeling unit, but you know what?
Let's go outside.
Let me show you around the outside.
So your awning is right up here, we should be able to run that out, and the reason for
doing this, is to show if you're parked next to, hey Joe, you park next to Joe right here,
and you want a little shade, you can run your awning out just as far as you want it, you
don't have to fully extend it, because it's got these arms that come out with the center
rail, gives it great support.
And we have, that was supposed to turn the awning light on.
Oh right here, right above my head.
Perfect.
Let's run this back in, and see what difference that makes with the sun.
OK, we also learned that if you have your key turned on, you try to run your awning
out it won't let it move much more than 3/4 of an inch and it goes back and locks, that
way you don't accidentally hit it going down the road, and have your awning deploy.
A nice safety feature.
Outlet here, TV hookup if you wanted to bring a TV outside, propane fill, right here, sight
gauge, of course it goes inside on a gauge inside and your on and off, furnace exhaust
and intake, whoops, that's a battery slide out, I thought I got them all unlocked here.
Good storage compartment underneath, there's looks like a low point drain there for your
fresh water tank, another little outside storage compartment, it's quite deep.
Hot water heater, remote start inside, city water fill's here, you got a roof rack and
ladder, and we all know not to get up on the roof right?
Let us do that, better safe than sorry.
And you have a hitch that you can access from the back, towing capacity from memory is about
500 lbs, you have your city fill here, black water flushes here, now you've got to remember,
you have to have your tanks open when you turn on the hose, otherwise you could fill
up the toilet and flood your coach, you've got to remember that.
Here's access to your dump tank, black and gray tank, it's easy to get to.
Exhaust for your generator, it's a propane 2,500 watt. Power cord.
Sewer hose.
It's got wheel liners on it, kinda dress it up a little bit.
And then, you're going to get into this storage compartment with the slide closed, right?
So here's access to your diesel fuel, and here's the DEF.
So all diesels as of 2012 I believe, all have to run DEF which cleans the sulfur out of
the air, this is where you fill it at.
So when you get one, just go out and get a little container of DEF out and carry it with
you, certainly before you go on a ling trip, just top off the reservoir.
They last a long time, but if you top it off before you leave, you never have to worry
about it when you go on a big trip.
These are all behind the door so nobody can get to it.
If you have any questions on this unit, certainly give Gary a call.
Call the van guy direct at 541.554.9581.
I appreciate your interest and look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks.
