Title: My first dip is tonight!!
Post by: Revlis on June 08, 2005, 05:32:37 pm
Ahh....  FINALLY!!!!!!!   The electrician finished up last night around 7:30 and the water temp from the hose was 60F.  It was up to 81 three hours later ('04 Sundance Cameo), but not warm enough and it was getting late...    This morning I checked the water... alk/ph/ppm were all good.. and the water was 100F exactly on both the tub reading and the ducky thermometer I have in there....

So tonight is the night I get my first dip into spatopia!!!!! and I can't wait!!!  

Thanks to everyone for all the great advice throughout this whole process....   *high-5's all around*

Best of dipping to you!  Mine first was monday 6 June and was great.  Dipped again on Tue but missed last night and went to the Rib Fest in town.  
My Alk is high and trying to get it down other than that all is well ;D

All I can say is, the wait is worth it!!!   Keep plugging away, and you too, can be in spatopia! lol.

I had fun watchin the silly LED light change colors... cranked the radio a little bit, played with all the controls...     then finally, just sat back... only pump one on low speed....   and let the days troubles melt away...    aaaaah yeaaa... it was so nice.......

And that was after moving 15 barrels of dirt around my back yard.

While its still new, assuming this applies, get up an hour early and soak before work.  Your coworkers will see a new you.

Revlis, I am taking a wet test in an '04 cameo tomorrow, and if I may ask, where in the country are you located and what did you pay, with what options.

I have been quoted $7695.00 and have not tried to negotiate yet. I have no idea if this is a "fair" price or not. I don't want to rip off a dealer or get taken either.
Need to know ASAP if you could help me out.
Thank you,
Steve

regualjo,
Being curious about  the cameo spa after reading your entry,  I did a quick google and found a discussion about the sundance cameo on another forum. Prices were mentioned  by people looking to purchas (7999-8999 depending on extras...)  I'd give you the site, but after reading it, I found it to be flim-flam mans site...so I;m hesitent.


ah what the hell. FWIW  here's a few data points. I hope it helps

If that's without the radio, it's an OK price but you might be able to do a little better.  That should hopefully come with delivery, setup, cover, coverlift, startup chems, etc. though.....  Get the freebies!

So far... my ONLY issue with the '04 cameo is the right hand wrist jet in the lounge seat.  There isn't enough room to the side of the jet to manuever your hand around much....  you hit the side of the tub.   I love the lounge however.... put the head back... close the eyes....   ahhhhhhhh... yea.   so nice.

Brad,
Thanks for your quick reply, we are debating whether to get a cameo with the lounger or a model without. Your feedback is helpful. That would be with all of the things you mentioned, the ozone system is a liitle extra cost, I may get them to throw it in and settle on the price I said.
Thanks again.
Steve
