    Windows are hard to open - idea?

    Question: Some of the windows on my rig are difficult to open. What would you suggest as a lubricant to make them move easier?

    Why are areas that must be repeatedly accessed screwed down (wood to wood)?

    Does anyone have a suggestion as to a replacement for the wood screws I am talking about? Some common latching device would be a great alternative.

    New Owner

    I do have a question. Has anyone had this same problem. The water pump is rather noisy. Upon examination it has been fitted with cushioning pads below but one end is against the wood frame for the counter. This causes a pounding when it comes on. Because of the tight space, reposition it...

    New Owner

    Just got back from our first trip in the new trailer. 5 days and 4 campgrounds all around New Mexico. All went well. Towed thru high winds part of the way and the stabalizing hitch worked well although it did get my attention at times. Found that I needed a space heater to augment the furnace by...

    Insulating Water Lines?

    Is the underbelly getting enough heat to avoid freezing if the space heater is keeping the living space at 65?

    Basement freezing while using space heater?

    Got a space heater today because it seemed that the furnace was coming on for 1 minute or so every 25 minutes to keep the inside temp at 62. The heater is working so well that the furnace has not come on yet tonight. BUT what about my the underbelly plumbing? Our living space is warm but am I...

    North Country Water Heater

    You can see what model I have so I don't know if this will apply to you. On the outside is a pannel that allows access to the back of the heater. There is a switch that turns on the electric power (it has a small pin which keeps it in the off position so that one does not turn it on with no...

    2009 Year-Ending Retail RV Sales Statistics

    I am one of the new North Country owners for 2010. It is great to hear of the success. The disadvantage of the huge growth is that there seems to be few talked about with authority on this site. General info is great but it would be good to have unit specific info available. (I am still trying...

    don't follow the advice of tourists!

    Re: don't follow the advise of tourists! Earnie: "SLUF" stands for "Short Little Ugly Fu...er", the A-7, as opposed to the "BUF", or B-52, which stands for "Big Ugly Fu....er". It is amazing what great minds will come up with. Fighter pilots ... all speed and no direction.

    Insulating Water Lines?

    Can someone give me a rundown on best practices for heating my trailer. It is only in the 40s here in Carlsbad tonight and with the thermostat at 60 the heater comes on about every 30 minutes (and loudly runs for about 1 minute). Have plenty of access to Electricity but Propane is expensive and...

    Why are areas that must be repeatedly accessed screwed down (wood to wood)?

    Why are areas that must be repeatedly accessed screwed down (wood to wood)? This means that eventually the screw holes degrade. Why not put simple latches that can be flipped to open the area. The specific area I am talking about is the area below the stove in front of the water heater which...

    Poll: Overall Dealership Experience

    Re: RVS for Less - Knoxville, TN Just picked up my new trailer today. The only reason I am voting a 4 is because I have no experience with follow up visits for service. The dealer, Rocky Mountain RV and Marine, was excellent. Every person I delt with there was patient and very helpful. The...

    Komika: Am due to accept delivery of my new rig (26 SRL) next Monday. I am sure that I will have tons of questions even with a good briefing at delivery. The last rig I had was an Airstream so I expect much that I learned will not apply. I think I drove that dealer, who was terriffic, crazy by...

    Am about to buy a 26SRL and would like to know what y'all would have on it from the beginning (besides that bug screen on furnace vent). Besides a wonder fan, stabalizing hitch, tire pressure sensors, what would you suggest?
