Welcome to our forum.
Personally I like 4 wheel drive, however, it should be noted that with such, a very tight fitting cover is recommended. A roof rack might come in handy, but, the tow package is rarely needed.
My wife and i are looking into buying a spa and have two choices to chose from,they are royal spa tubs and hot springs tubs.The royal will cost 4995 with a 6 year parts and labor warranty and 40 year warranty on the shell.The hot springs tub around 5500 with a 7 year shell warranty and 3 or 4 year parts and labor warranty.The royal has operating control box does not have a pc board which to me would be better in maintanence than one with a pc board would be.The water jets seem to work the same on both brands,I dont know what the differnce between the two are.I see a lot of posts about hot spring on the forum and not much about royal.The royal dealer seeems to like he wants my business more than the hot springs dealer.If anybody knows anything about these spas please give me your opion about them.Thanks
