The dealer (McDowell South)found the stereo wired incorrectly. It was producing distortion in the outside speakers at low volume. About a week before my annual vacation in April my awning drive motor failed. Lucky the dealer had a salvaged unit they swapped out so I could use the awning on my...

It's a bolt on unit. I just swapped the dealer provided battery for two Trojan T105's so that should help with tongue weight.

I bought my NT back around Christmas and took it out on the maiden voyage yesterday. I too will be removing the under tongue tire carrier and ordering one for the rear bumper.

There were mounting holes about an inch lower so I lowered it for now with a slight improvement. A member on rvnet suggested a Stromberg Carlson unit which gives detailed dimensions of replacement steps on their website. The one supplied by HL says "Best" and made in china :)

The Lippert suggestion is very helpful, thanks.

Are the step mounting brackets pretty standard in the industry? Steps in various catalogs do not give mounting dimensions. I have a NT FX17 and the step is just too hi. It's about 15" from the bottom step to the ground and I'm above average height. The paint can is for scale.

I found I have the junk stereo mentioned in other threads. A bit cold out today but I'm getting acquainted with the camper.

Well I'm the owner of a new (2012) FX17. I still haven't figured out the goofy step arrangement, it's too high and I'm above average in height. The under tire carrier will probably have to be removed. It drags upon entering the gutter/curb at the end of my driveway. I need to adjust my hitch...

I was on the forum a couple years ago but asked to be removed when I bought a different brand. So I'm back shopping again. I'm looking at a new 2012 FX17 model. I'm getting rid of a Lighthouse T18RB which I still really like but it has severely limited water capacity...and cargo. So I'm...

It's been working great for me since early October.

Jim, Yes, I want to be removed from the forum. I bought a Lighthouse RB18. Brad

I can't find it anywhere. I bought brand X and have moved on.

Sent you a PM Ray.

I like the layout of the 180 on paper since I do not want a slide out. I also don't car for dinette/bed combos. I have that issue in my current camper. Normally I eat out side but once in awhile it is nice to have a table inside if the bugs are bad or rain.

Can an adult sleep on the couch in the M-18? I found out about the MPG and then was told about the Edge units.
