    We bought a 2020 Columbus 366RL 1492 fiver recently and have discovered a white PEX line with a shutoff valve towards the back underside of the rig. It is not marked with a label (like the low points and fresh water drains are) and I would rather not remove the underbelly panel just to figure...

    Galley tank drain has a long crack in it

    Got the 5er out of storage and dewinterized. All seemed well, but I noticed the pipe that goes from the galley grey tank to the galley dump valve was dripping. Had a look and the pipe has a crack about three ft long. All outside the underbelly, so easy to replace. When I dumped as part of...

    Parasitic drain audit

    Static and passive parasitic draw Just for fun I decided to chase down the static parasitic electric draw on my wolf pup, as well as the “passive” electric draw when propane was operating “everything”.

    Vampire drain on chassis battery

    Does anyone know what is draining my chassis battery (not the house batteries) in about three weeks? Surely it isn't the radio, is it? The propane detector appears to be on the house batteries (at least, the LED indicator is only lit when the house batteries are connected). Thanks!

    Excessive length drain tubes

    My rig is a 2021 Palomino Solaire 217BH. The three low point drain tubes, one for the fresh water holding tank and one each for hot and cold, are ridiculously long from the factory. Literally they rub on speed bumps and if I am moving the camper in a grassy area, they drag in the grass and...
