    Dimplex Electric Fireplace Will Not Heat

    We have a 2010, so thinking our fireplace front is the same as yours. You can use a thin putty knife to GENTLY pry off the front. You should tape the knife to not damage the finish. You will find several small pin nails holding the front and will probably leave the nails in place and pull the...

    Highway 199

    We drove this route from Cresent to Grants Pass last spring. The southern end has a few sharp turns, but nothing you cannot handle.

    Correct Way To Level Rig

    We have a fifth wheel and level this way--first side to side ( we may need to put blocking under the tires to get side to side level).

    Towing question

    This is good advice----check what the mfg suggest for towing and payloads along with what others have said.

    Water Pressure Rising -- REGARDLESS of Regulator
