    BF Goodrich tire recall

    My own experience in dealing with the recall has been positive. I replaced the stock tires on our Elkridge with the recalled BFGoodrich Commercial T/As back in February. I think I had less than 500 miles when I found out about the recall. Last Wednesday I talked to the Costco tire center where...

    Replacing Touch Audio System Mod

    Hi: This is my first post with pictures to detail a mod to my 2011 Elkridge 34TSRE. Based on the posts I've seen regarding the Touch Audio system that is used in many different models, I figure this might be helpful to others. Before you get started, remember that the Elkridge cabinetry is...

    Popping noise when unhitching

    I really would like to avoid taking it to the dealer if at all possible. Thanks for the reassurance that I am at least not alone!

    Popping noise when unhitching

    I have a 2011 Elkridge 34TSRE, bought last November. We've loved it and had only a handful of minor issues in about 4000 miles and more than a month of camping. Right now I am wondering whether we should be concerned about popping noises from the front of the frame whenever we unhitch the...

    Gas Mileage towing a fifth wheel

    Our own experiences towing: Previous truck was a 2002 Dodge 4.7l quadcab and we towed a KZ Spree 324BHS- a 6500lb (loaded) travel trailer. I towed this once to a park and got 8mpg with a texas tail wind and 6mpg bringing it home. Traded the truck immediately after white knuckling home for a 2007...

    Problem with electric fireplace

    Thanks for the good responses. I will check into things a little closer in the morning. I have physically reset the breaker but will look again. I will also poke around behind the fireplace to see if i can see anything obvious. I'm always hesitant about returning anything to the dealer since it...

    Problem with electric fireplace

    We've had our 34TSRE out for 5 nights now. So far, mostly good. The biggest problem so far has been the electric fireplace. During the 2nd night, the unit quit working- no light, flames, or heat. I tried turning it off for a while and trying again per the manual, but no luck. The breaker is ok...

    New owner: 2011 Elkridge 34TSRE

    Thanks, everyone! Going on a tour of the deep south with stops in Arkansas, Alabama, and Georgia starting tomorrow. Wish us luck- we've done it before with my previous, much lighter TT, so this is going to be a new experience!

    Radio problem on 2011 34TSRE?

    Ok- first potential issue on our new unit. I came home from work today and the radio (touch VD-400i) is blasting (weather mode) through the bedroom, outside, and living room speakers. I turn it off. We head out for a few hours and it's doing the same thing when we return. Is this some mode the...

    New owner: 2011 Elkridge 34TSRE

    Just picked it up this afternoon. We were looking at this and a Bighorn 3185RL and went with the Elkridge for the bigger bedroom, bigger bath, and the possibility to add a W/D in the future. Very excited to "join the club" and we're looking forward to the new travels!

    Considering 3185RL purchase

    We live in Allen, just north of Dallas. 2nd A/C was tops on the "must-have" list. To be honest, we definately like the Bighorn features like the hydraulic slides and landing gear, the shocks in the suspension, upgraded finish- even the 12' fridge!...etc. But, we decided that the bigger (& more...

    Considering 3185RL purchase

    Thanks for the feedback. We have changed our mind and are looking at an Elkridge 34TSRE at a different dealer. We know the finish is a little lower end, but we like the floorplan with the larger, more private bedroom (we camp with a 10 & 11 year old!). The unit we found is in pristine shape (i...

    Considering 3185RL purchase

    My DW and I are close to pulling the trigger on a 2011 3185RL. We love the looks, the features, the floorplan, and the support around here looks great too! I do have a few questions. 1) Our TV is a 2007 Dodge Ram 3500 Megacab 4x2 auto with 5.9l CTD. payload is 3232lb and GCWR is 21000lbs...
