    New Puppy

    Logan is 5 months old now and is almost as big as his Uncle Parker (Parker's dad is Logan grampa). He has been the "perfect" puppy, had mastered doing his business outdoors at 12 weeks and chewing has been relegated to chew bones and his toys! Logan has graduated from puppy class and is now...

    New Puppy

    We've acquired a new puppy (red & white border collie) to go along with us on our trips and to be a companion to our other border collie (Parker). He is 8 weeks old (weighted in at 12 lbs today) and, of course, full of energy. So far I've noticed that he appears to be even smarter than Parker...

    How many have washer and dryer?

    We have a Splendide 2100 Combo Unit and it is great! You arrive at a campsite, put in a load of laundry and by evening you are done. It takes very little detergent and fabric softener to do a load. What is nice is that you have the option to wash/dry, just wash or just dry. On rainy days...

    Broken Jack Pad - Lippert Level Up System

    I took a closer look at the jack pads today. They are actually screwed into the cylinder. I checked the other three jacks and two of them were loose and one was well secured. I tightened the loose ones and I will contact Lippert to get a replacement pad. Bob

    Broken Jack Pad - Lippert Level Up System

    When I was preparing to leave for our next destination this morning, I noticed that the landing pad on one of the side jacks was missing. <O:p</O:p This is the front side jack on the door side. After taking a closer look, it appears that the pad had broken off and that it is a fixed part of the...

    My Experience with Bob Tiedge - Trail Air Customer Service

    On our way to Nashville, we had some problems with an hydraulic line that had ruptured (the out line to the slides). I kept adding hydraulic fluid to the reservoir so that I could keep the slides operational until my arrival in Nashville. When we got to Nashville, I could not operate the...

    A Big Thank You to Mr. Beletti

    I had a problem when I arrived at the KOA today. One of my hydraulic lines had been leaking and the hydraulic system was no longer functioning. This meant that I could not lower the various jacks (I have the level up system from Lippert installed last year) nor open the slides. Jim was driving...

    Advice Please

    All codes indicated a cleaning of the DPF was required. The first dealer said they did the "clean up procedure". The second dealer reported similar codes to the first time. They indicated that while the first dealer cleaned the DPF they did not complete the regeneration process. The third...

    Advice Please

    My wife and I were looking forward to our first extended trip (35 days through Iowa, Illinois, Colorado, Utah, Wyoming and Montana) with our Bighorn 3055. The plan was to go through Goshen, Indiana to get the “level up” system installed at Trail Air. This was done and let me tell you that it is...
