Good Luck on your remodel, Keep us posted. jearnest MPG 180 owner

Glad things worked out for you. We haven't had a problem with our MPG since I had the Hybrid axle replaced. jearnest

That's what I was thinking. Thanks for the reply Dave

Just noticed a hairline crack on the front of our MPG. It is about thee inch's long and barely noticeable at this time. Have viewed some comment on Forum that suggested drilling a small hole at the end of the crack to stop it from spreading. Should I do this or just monitor it for the time being.

Salan, I use a 2003 Ford Explorer, 4.0, 6 cylinder, automatic with a factory installed tow package (rated at 5,800 pounds) to pull our 180 MPG. We traveled some 9,000 miles from California thru Canada to Alaska and back in 2013 with no towing probems. Gas mileage was about 13 mpg. The only...

Our 180 MPG had to have the front and rear windows replaced (under warranty) in 2013 due to water leaking through the seals. Shorty after the repair was completed we left on a trip to Alaska. On the first day that we encountered rain on the trip the windows were leaking again. Took the unit...

Thanks for the Prayer. Had to copy it for our travel trailer.

Ryanman, I appreciate the pic's and your comments. If the last fix made by the dealer doesn't work this time I will try your solution. Outside of the problems with the leaking windows and the replacemenst of the axle, which was provided by Lippert, haven't experienced any other issues. We think...

Had to have the rear and front (not side) windows replaced on our MPG 180 as water was collecting in the inside metal trim. Had to take it back to have the new windows re-sealed as they were still leaking. Haven't been in rain since the last work was compled but no water seeped in during...

Hate it when I press the wrong button. I used velcro to attach the insect screen to the bottom of the unit but have not attached the sides of the Dome. I know that others have used suction cups and/or epoxied snaps to the sides of the unit. How did you attach your Dome. Thanks John

I purchased mine on ebay, fits the unit quite well. USA SERVICE OFFICE Dometic, LLC 2320 Industrial Parkway Elkhart, IN 46516 574-294-2511 Model747XXX10.002747XXX12.002

Marc, Had the same issue with the rear window on my 181. Spoke with a Tech. at the dealership and was told to remove the gasket beyond the first corner and stretch the gasket sufficently to fill the gap as you replace it. I've had to do this a couple of times. John

Re: ATF: MPG - Electrical Schematic Thanks for the information. I will check ours befor the next trip. John

Kevin, I believe that the warranty from Lippert is for two years from the date of manufacture. I was ask by Lippert to send them the part number for the axle which is located on a sticker near the center portion of the axle. My axle was slightly beyond the two year warranty but as a gesture of...

Just returned from a short outting with our 180 MPG after having the axle replaced (see post dated 12-02-13). The new axle weighs about 40 pounds more than the original one. Hopefully the added strenght of the replacement axle will correct the problem with the tread wear that was occurring on...
