We are full timers. We have 4 kids and my wife and I aren’t exactly “in shape” I noticed a leak outside the p-trap from the shower and chalked it up to a loose fitting. I tightened the fitting and still had water collection below on my plastic bin with a towel. Now we found the source is the...

I can google with the rest. I was hoping to hear about reputable service dept. etc from firsthand experience. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We are nearing the end of our oil life and fuel filter life at almost 14K miles. We are in Mesa, AZ for a couple weeks. Does anybody have a recommendation for TV service? I found 3A Automotive on Yelp, with stellar reviews, but we are under warranty and I'd like to keep Mopar parts and oil if...

Looks like my day of reckoning is coming sooner than I'd like. I have hydraulic fluid, (which I learned is actually automatic transmission fluid) leaking out underneath my living room slide on the driver's side. The fluid level is low, so now the jacks are slower and I am worried that either the...

Re: Clearing Dometic double fridge "E0" In desperation before rolling out, I unplugged the one AC cord that was plugged in for like 30 seconds. This must have done the trick b/c when it cycled again we had a temp and settings available again. Probably not the ideal way to go. Fridge...

I popped the cover off outside and have a rats nest of wiring and another side that looks like heater flue area? Also there is an A/C outlet at the opposite end that has a plug that isn't plugged in, but it had dust and it probably wasn't ever plugged in. All of this is ?? for me. Sent...

We parked out rig at a Cabela's parking lot and left out lights on overnight. We came back to a very low charge on the batteries about 24 hours later. Our fridge threw the E4, then E3 codes. We tried starting the genny with no result. So we went to bed with everything off. In the morning we had...

Re: Wrong TV Rig??? I agree! Hoping this thread can help others in the future. Its a tough dilemma to work through and expensive at that.

Re: Wrong TV Rig??? We will be headed south From Deception Pass next week and that will be right on our way. I think I'll take the time to do that because I am pretty curious. Last time I weighed us with full tanks etc. I was 11,770 on the truck portion and 14400 on the trailer axels. Trying...

Re: Wrong TV Rig??? North Cascade from Grand Coulee to Marblemount. Beautiful drive. With the new tires on the rig and the dually I can't imagine that haul with the old truck and tires. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Re: Wrong TV Rig??? Just pulled 200 miles in the Cascade Mountains. That Aisin transmission is a beautiful thing! I was stressed before but the small hills leading up were good training. Never in overdrive using + and - the whole time. Gained 4000+ feet and descended back down at least that...

New shoes got put on today. It's been an uphill battle getting them and affording them but I can already feel a world of difference in the way they handle. Lynx gunmetal gray wheels rated up to 200 psi. Sailun S637 215/75R17.5 H rated. Hoping to get many safe miles outta these. BTW: Running...

Ooooh! Purty Truck! ;) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah, pulling the genny is way beyond my wheelhouse and budget. I was thinking I could clean it off and see how quickly it gets greasy again. Not the best approach I know, but might help me diagnose the severity. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes they were very simple to talk to. I was camping in an area where I could make wifi calls out but calls in were bouncing to VM. Michael took the time to email me and make sure I had the info to get back to him. Smooth overall. We just can't wait to get these Towmax tires off. We actually...

So now that I've done this a few times I think I'm getting the hang of it. What I consistently notice is the grey tank indicators are entirely accurate while the black tank inicator is not. The sensor(s) must be gummed up. The gal at CW said there was a kit for that, not quite sure what she...

Update: We ordered 17.5" aluminum wheels and Sailun S637 tires today from trailertiresandwheels.com . They did me a solid and threw the spare in for just a benjamin. Good folks over there. Responsive and great quality. Hoping to get our new shoes on within the week. :D

So it looks like my fluid level after everything was retracted and hitched, was under 1/2. I at least need to improve the hydraulic fluid level.

This forum never seems to disappoint :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes and yes. Same sound as the slides. Is it a messy affair to add more fluid? Could it then be hydraulic fluid on the DS gear? And if so does it mean trouble? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Took a couple pics above my batteries. I'm 90% sure it's hydraulic. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Re: Wrong TV Rig??? The difference is night and day with starting in 1st and on hills with the transmission. Still getting the hang of it but very pleased so far. We have many many miles to go, but have probably towed 100-120 miles and have about 3000 miles on it already. I didn't realize how...

So what is the quickest easiest way to tell if I have electric or hydraulic landing gears? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm getting a little concernicous about my driver's side landing gear. It is covered in grease, but I think it may be leaked hydraulic fluid. It has been this way since we bought it, but looking at it now gives me a creeping suspicion it will be a difficult or expensive fix. The housing for...

Wrong TV Rig??? As requested. Fully loaded and chomping at the bit to go to our next camping spot. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Re: Wrong TV Rig??? Thanks! We have really liked it. Keeping it looking clean is a chore, so happens to match the lower portion of our RW. I joke that's the real reason we had to upgrade vehicles. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We don't have plans for that unless it's along our way. I think by then we'll be pros. We are stationary for 17 days, but after that the frequent moving will force us to empty more often. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Very helpful all. So here's a ? If you can't trust the gauges, but have to rely on something to know you are due to dump what do you do to get a better idea of what your tank levels *really* are? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A quick note: I wrote my post under duress. It was my first time draining our rig, and I was a little heatstroked as a 15 min job took me 8x longer. I will take all the tips to heart. It can only get better from here!

After 2 hours and DW asking for help from CW employees who all seemed kinda perplexed about it. We called the previous owner and left a msg. He called right back solid guy. He said the forward most valve is the black tank, so in the area with 2 valves that makes it the left one. We ended up...

The short: we are at Camping World dumping after a week of use our grey water is empty our black says it's still full. Part of the problem is the lack of clarity with the labeling for the valves. I have probably done something wrong with the order of the valves because of this. Front panel for...

Update: after closing up the furnace cover and cycling through the thermostat about 15 times. We left it off for about an hour. On a whim I tried it out at the mention of tonight's weather and voila! We have heat, never thought that burnt dusty smell would smell so good. But now I learned about...

Perfect, thanks for being so helpful and responsive. Come October I'm sure we'll be glad we fixed it and got an understanding of what to look for. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah, trying to exhaust all our options before throwing $ at it. We have a hot week coming up so we'll likely be ok comfort wise. Gotta save $ from our truck warranty rebate and renters deposit for new wheel/tires. How do I go about locating a mobile tech? I'm in Post Falls, ID for the next 2...

Just had to give it the right shimmy. So I tightened the connections I could see/reach. Tried the furnace again and still the no go. I also verified for sure no wasp nests. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for the pointers there Dan. Trying to pull my furnace cover off and the four corner screws for the cover plate were easy. The furnace flue cover is a bit harder. Not sure what torx T-size this is but the harbor freight cheapo T-20 is a hair under and T-25 is a hair too big. T-23 the...

Thanks, I already searched the forum and found the guide. Some of the system symptoms are the same but kinda a mixed bag. Letting the gas run out was probably my biggest mistake. Could a power reset help clear the board of safety errors? So if I disconnect from shore power and set my battery...

We have bumped up our coverages and lowered our deductibles for about the same vehicle value. We did this for peace of mind while full timing. We pay 107.50/mo which is only $3 more/month than we were paying for an SRW 4 years older. We are young and our domicile is in WA state, we also use...

Thanks for the reply @danemayer, I have propane flow to the stove and have been able to light just fine. I also did the bleed off trick, then turned the tank valve back to open. No registers or vents covered. The wasp thing might not be out of the question since this was in storage for 1.5...

So I'm a noob to all this and kicked on the furnace the other night not realizing how low my LP was. We ran out of LP, but have refilled it and reconnected it since then. The thermostat and relay clicks happen and we get 5-6 short bursts of air cycling for 3 seconds up to about a minute. Its my...
