    Frozen

    We’re sitting pretty comfortable inside our 2019 41 RKSB4 MS at 6 degrees in Anna, TX. Furnace and fireplace are keeping us at 69 deg. Problem is that the sewer drainage hoses froze, even with heat strips wrapped around them. And now the water is off, even with a heated water hose. The galley...

    Solid Steps

    Anyone install the 4 step MOR ride or Lippert steps. Have not installed one but seems like a tight fit at the bottom of the screen door and main door. Don't know how yet but I guess you can alter the doors to obtain the clearance. Or how about cutting out the door seal plate and bolting the new...

    Airflow on Dometic A/C Heat Pump

    I have a 41ft Mobile Suite and the rear a/c heat pump blows very little amount of air out the ceiling vents, If you have it on HI fan, if you hold your hand about several inches away you can't feel any airflow . Also the heat pump will only make the temp come up a few degrees even of outside...

    One Control WiFi hub

    I am looking for the One Control WiFi gateway in our 2021 39dbrs3. I cannot locate it and neither can my phone WiFi. I was told when we bought it that I could control the leveling system with my phone. Any ideas where it might be.

    Replacement Leveling Jack Pads

    Over the last couple of years, I have lost 2 pads from one of my leveling jacks. Not for sure why but the replacement cost from Lippert is about $80 a piece. I also noticed couple of my pads also are somewhat warped from being built with pretty thin metal. I had saw where a guy had built a set...

    F-250 Diesel || 2017-2019 vs 2020

    Hey everyone! I'm new here, but I'm hoping to get some help from someone who may have experience with multiple model years of the F-250. I've already determined that the F-250 is the truck for me, but deciding on the model year has been a bit more of a challenge. As I'm sure many of you have, I...

    Hitch Clearance

    We are picking up our new 2020 MS 36RKSB in a couple of weeks. I've seen some chatter about clearance issues with the newer trucks. LCI has complained that the 2020 model trucks have changed their bed depths? I saw a video about this with an F450 and a Full House; however, I believe it was...

    Bed cover

    Just bought a 2020 Silverado to (eventually) pull a fiver. We have a TT now. It's our first pickup, and I would like to get a bed cover for it to keep things dry and secure when we're not towing, but not have to remove it completely when we do tow. Haven't decided on a hitch yet, but strongly...

If so, would like to know how the clearance to back of cab is for tight turns ( how close the 5th wheel gets to back of cab at close to 90 degrees). Also clearance of trailer to truck...

    Oven cleaning

    How do I safely clean my Furrion oven without damage? I’ve never owned a gas oven of any type so I’m unsure what commercial cleaners would do to the components. I’ve heard unsubstantiated rumors that damaging the thermocouple renders the oven useless as Furrion will not sell replacement...

    Thetford Techma Toilet Controller

    For those with the Thetford Techma toilets beware. I have never had much confidence that the flush buttons on the controller would last very long. I felt that I had to press the button much too hard to flush. From my experience [a career in mainframe computer repair] these type switches have a...

    Changing Out Lippert Hydraulic Hoses

    We have a 2016 38RSB3 DRV that is 5 years old this month. About a year or so ago, we noticed on a trip the kitchen slide started to creep out going down the road. This was very alarming and concern. We pulled over and reseated the slide and was fine. A couple trips later this happened again and...
