I just returned from taking my unit into a service center for the Dometic Recall. After arriving at the center, they called dometic to confirm that my serial number/model number was on the recall, and it was. However, dometic informed them that the recall fix had been performed at the factory...

What would it take to go over the 5 gig limit? I am on the computer for several hours everyday monitoring stock market ticker tapes and market news. I do not download music but I do get movie clips sent to me via emails quite frequently. Would 5 gig cover this type of usage? I talked to...

On my 07 they are clearly visible from the door side of the unit; in fact you see them even if you are not looking for them. If you don't have any.....in my opinion that would be a good thing. In my unit they do not drain the the lines completely which is obvious when I pump antifreeze into...

retired4fun Mine also had the predrilled drain holes in it but apparently the door laminate still will soak up the water and cause damage from delamination. My entire door has delaminated.

Forrest, Agreed, your pin weight could stand some diet.............but not everyone has as genset. They are the ones that need to be aware of shifting too much weight aft. Wow......2800+ pin weight!!!

good place to keep the "snakes" (slinky in a plastic bag, power cord), wheel chocks, lego blocks, and hydraulic jack. The more you store behind the wheels, the hitch-pin weight becomes lighter. Be carefull with shifting too much weight behind the axles..............you will end up with the...

When trying to light the electric ignite gas appliances for the first time after a shutdown the air needs to be let out of the lines. I have found in my Bh as well with all my previous campers, the easiest way to do this is to open a stove burner and keep trying to light it with a match/lighter...

I have been considering attending the Tennesse Fall Samboree and was wondering if anyone has attended any of the Tennessee Samborees. This years is held in Jackson Tenn at the Jackson Fairgrounds Park. If anyone would like to provide their opinions or experiences, I would appreciate it.

As previously stated, every state law is different and if you are carrying a firearm you should check the individual state laws that you are traveling in. For example, in some states your RV is considered a home and the laws pertain to weapons in your home.....in other states, your RV is...

My cargo door on the ODS has serious delamination from water getting in. I have caulked the trim piece around the edge but I guess it was too late. I dont understand why these aren't caulked during production. Has anyone had to replace their door......is it difficult or expensive?. Naturally I...

The valve to my 07 unit is behind the docking station near the hot water heater bypass valves. The panel in the storage unit needs to be removed to gain access to the valves.

Lee, I had the Timbrens on my 04 F250 and they did a good job. They reduced the rear-end drop to 1 inch or less and eliminated the bounce when towing thus providing better stability. I now have an 08 and I plan on installing Timbrens again. The best part about the Timbrens is they have no effect...

My slides did the same thing.....ripped the flooring and the other 2 slides was shreading the carpet. The cause was the screws in the bottom of the slideouts were drilled in at a angle and the wood screw heads were not countersunk which was providing a sharp edge dragging along the floor...

The stock hinges are too flimsy to support the weight of the extension. Mine broke in the 90 degree elbow and we never used the extension at all. I've been looking to replace them but have not found any yet. Any suggestions where to get some. Does Lowes/HD have any?

With the Michelin's only being rated at 3,000 lbs. I am concerned that with our rigs requiring E rated tires puts these tires at their limits. There is no margin if we assume our units are loaded with weights equally distributed and within the rated capacities. I am considering replacing my...

I bought the new Doran RV360 system earlier this spring. It's performance is great and the setup of the sensors is a snap. The really good thing about it is that it shows the air pressures.....just punch a button and it will give the PSI in each tire.

Bob, I had the same issue with my satelite cable. Check for continuity between the core wire and the braided shield wire (there should not be any). My problem was when the connectors where installed on the cable behind the docking station a strand of the braided shield was wrapped around the...

Bill, I am still running my "made in China tires" and I now have about 10,000 miles on them. They still look very good and they have never leaked any air since I bought the coach over a year and a half ago. I do now run a tire pressure monitor, so I feel a little more comfortable with running...

Just recently took advantage of the huge discounts being offered and purchased a '08 Ford and traded my '04. I got 18.7 bobtailing home (a 220 mile trip) and have gotten 16.4 combination city/highway since. The trip to Branson will be the first trip pulling the BH with this truck so I hope I'm...

Hey Jay.....you better hope those cans are gold plated after todays market jump!!! Just tanked up for the trip................I figure probably another 6 or 7 tanks before I arrive back home. This going to be painful!

Winnebago Falls After Announcing Plant Closure, Shedding 270 Jobs Go figure!

roazo, The second one that went out on me did the same thing as yours .....it would not shut off. Had to trip the breaker to turn it off as the push buttons in the panel had no effect what so ever. As stated, this was my second one that rolled craps and was replaced again with another Sylvania...

Judybuddy, The same thing happened to my 3055 on the first trip out. What was causing mine was the screws in the bottom of the slideouts was not countersunk and they were drilled in crooked causing a sharp raised edge. My dealer had to remove all the screws, countersink the holes and redrill...

The Sylvania micro problem is not new......my first one lasted about the time to microwave a potato half way..............the second one (a replacement) lasted three days out................and now my third one; well, it still works for now. But of course, my warranty is over so I expect it to...

Yet social security and railroad pensions count as earned income......just doesn't seem right.

I feel your pain KaKampers...............same situation as us. Although I had to pay some taxes, my retirement income did not qualify either. Something is just wrong with this picture.

What is the issue thats being recalled? In my last motorhome (99 model) there was a dometic recall for a fire hazard when running in the electric mode. Anyone know if this is the same issue? I'm heading out in about 2 weeks so I probably cant get it in the shop before then.

oldcrab, Compared to your setup......my "E" Karrier tires have max pressure of 90 PSI and trailer sticker calls for 80 psi. Go figure!

I used Timbrens on my 04 ford and they did the job quite well. I now have a 08 Ford and I think I will go with the Timbrens again.

On my 3055 there are sheet metal screws in there......sometimes! They constantly vibrate out and I generally find them somewhere inside the compartment. Without them, there is a considerable gap between the framing and the inside sheeting

Just look at the first quarter Shell and BP record profits posted today on Marketwatch. Even beat analyst' estimates. What other companies are posting these kind of year over year profit gains???????

I am considering going to a '08 4 X 2 Ford F250 from a '04 4 x 4 F250. Does anyone know what the difference in the hitch/bed height will be. I will be removing my current hitch and installing it in the new 08 model so I'm wondering how much, if any, that I will need to change the hitch/king...

And it keeps going up daily....or even more than once daily. Talking about the runaway train!!!!

Forrest, I had to replace mine on the rear cap. In one area on the ladder side there was a gap of about 1/2" between the roof and the cap. I used a roof flashing caulk from Lowes that stays flexible. This has been in place for about 8 months and the caulk filling the gap is still flexible...

Thinking of trading for '08 Ford but hearing bad things about mileage on the new 6.4 engine. What are you seeing in mileage and is it improving after breakin time?

Hoss, I think that is normal; mine is the same way. The first time I really noticed it, I took the plug to my garage and wire brushed the threads completely clean from any rust and also wire wheeled the treads inside the fitting in the heater. After all this, the plug still seems as if it does...

Larry, Does the Pullrite auto-slider mount on the standard bed rails or does it have special ones?

I installed the Timbren SES rubber springs on my truck. These eliminated any squatting that my truck was doing when hooked to the BH and they have relatively no effect (stiffness) when not hooked up. Even better, they cost less than half of what the air bags cost and I installed them in about...

My switch has never switched over automatically so I assumed it was just a manual switchover regulator/valve. I had an automatic one before and it did not look anything like the ones we have on the BH nor does it look like the ones sold at CW.

I was helping a neighboring camper in Gulf Shores that had SOB highend fifthwheel and in his owners manual the recommended procedure to change a tire was to raise the unit by pulling it onto blocks lifting the tire to be changed. Like was earlier said, there will be many opinions on this matter...
