    Where is the fresh water tank

    Where is the fresh water tank located (40KSSB4)? Is it with the tanks behind the sliding doors in the storage bay? Or is it in front of the storage bay?

    Black tank flush system inlet on top of tank

    My 2003 Carriage Carri-Lite came with a black tank flush inlet connection, which I understand will allow me to 'wash the tank from above' by connecting a garden hose to this inlet. This does seem to work, but my sensors are still all showing it full no matter its actual level. I suspect the...

    Drv

    We have a new 39DBRS and are parking it for the winter. We have removed the batteries and put inside on a battery maintainer. The question is if I plug the coach into our truck will the hydraulic jacks operate or do the batteries need to be in place?

    On the Go water softener

    The latest post about this product I can find is from 2011. I have two questions. 1; How much does it decrease the flow rate? That is a huge problem for me at a lot of parks. 2; Is it necessary to continue to use the whole house water filter behind this unit? As always, thanks for your input. Phil

    2019 40KSSB4 Question

    The top front cable for the bedroom slide out snapped. Is this a common issue on this model, or similar models with the same slide configuration? I ask because it looks like a lot of slide out, and weight, to move with a cable system.
