Forest River Sabre 36FLX :: 2025 Sabre 36FLX (2024-12-01 19:53:49)

Hello everyone, I'm new to RV/Travel trailer-ing, I recently purchased a 2017 Coachman Clipper (17 footer) and, of course, I want to upgrade and modify everything. I have a habit of not leaving anything stock. So the first thing I want to do is mount a tv outside, but honestly, drilling into...

I have a 2020 XLR 321. I just replaced the batteries yesterday. I was getting fault at the control panel on the wall the AC/DC button now this is the first time I’m hooking in the shore power. I hook into shore power I get no lights on the panel if I’m using anything The battery is just drained...

Okay, this a long meandering post. Picture we're sitting around the campfire having a few cold ones and just kicking around an idea. No right or wrong ideas, more of a "how would you do it"? In a previous thread -...

Good morning everyone! I am Robert, and my wife and I just picked up our new 5th wheel on Friday. We are both new to RV's and this is our first camper. I am retired military, but currently working as a contractor in the defense industry in the San Diego area. We will be here for the next 5...

I have a 2019 Greywolf DBH26 and lost the microwave power last night. The fireplace was previously out as well. Got home this morning and started troubleshooting and I have dead outlets at microwave, fireplace, outside outlet and kitchen outlet. Pulled the microwave and fireplace out and they...

My camper 2022/2205 MiniLite, is already winter covered and there is a beeping coming from inside. Could be low voltage? Will it eventually go off? Will I ruin the system by leaving it beep? Should I uncover, reset? Will it go off again? The batteries are in the off position. Any suggestions...

My 2021 Geo Pro 16BH has a furnace under the port dinette with a vent right there and a duct run around the U-dinette to the starboard bulkhead for a second vent. I realize the advantage of distributing the heat a bit, but the duct takes up valuable storage space. I'm wondering if anyone has any...

It seems a number of manufacturers offer Class C with the overhead bunk deleted. The actual floor plan inside is not the issue. This is sometimes called the Trekker Cap or the entire vehicle gets branded as a B+. In the accompanying photos, you’ll see a cap design that Forest River made on...

Hi All Mounting a TV in bedroom east west entrada mdl 295000k. Purchased tv mount the spot for the TV has a label marked TV backer is OK to use screws provided with mount. I am guessing the inside wall is constructed to accept screws. I have a stud finder. Are there TV mounts for rvs. Or can...

Hi, I read somewhere that new axles come with too little grease and it's best to grease them, even new. I have an ez-lube dexter tortion axle on my new Geo Pro. Trailer was manufactured in April of this year, we bought it in October and put only a few hundred miles on it this year. Should I...

Two questions: I am convinced I have a bad motor on the main slide and need to take it out and order a replacement. How do I get the motor out. From the threads I’ve read people referred to removing a rubber boot. Is this the entire seal around the sides of the slide. Anyway, if someone could...

Good evening... My wife and I just purchased a 2025 Sabre 36FLX and so far we are super excited to get it out to a campground. The dealership put a single lead acid battery in it, but we bought a Lithium battery during Black Friday, and will be installing it when it comes in. My question is...

Hi All, Me again, asking random questions that I am trying to understand about my new to me 2018 DX3 TS. We were looking under the washer/dryer and noticed these empty screws and am trying to figure out if anyone knows what normally goes underneath the space. There seem to be some wires but...

Hi All, Just bought out “new to us” 2019 Coachmen Sportscoach 407FW. One thing that jumped out to me on the test drive was the terrible display on the Axxera system. Wife loved the coach (me too) so I figured we buy it and replace the display. I do some research and decide that for ~$200 I’m...

First time RV owner. Have a 2020 rockwood signature. So have read enough to know the heat pumps are not rated for below 40 degrees. And how it can lock you out after 3 strikes. But mine operates different, it’s like the zones are tied together. And when I have the heat electric on it blows out...

Ok, I know to stay outside the park. I am researching best way to get into and around the park. Thinking of staying in Visalia. Anyone done the shuttle from Visalia and used the park shuttle to visit the sites. Will not be any long hikes. Looking for easy and short only. Thank you.

I have a 2017 Isata 3. Northern Wisconsin...I put my trickle charger onto the "live" port on lower dash to feed the Engine battery. To provide power to the charger I have it plugged into the wall socket. My lithium batteries are stored inside the garage. I have the camper hooked up as normal to...

We live in NW FL. We get periods of cold weather but it doesn’t usually last long. Not too many times below 32, and usually just for a few hours. What should we do for winterizing? We have it under a carport and plugged in to shore power. Thank you

The Dometic 13,500 air conditioner in my 2004 Rockwood 5th wheel makes a sound similar to the sound of a two-cycle gas powered engine that is misfiring. This lasts 10 or so minutes after start up, and then the sound goes away and the AC unit runs fine until it is turned off. At the next restart...

For those with a walk-in Pantry, like the 235RW that has a TV and electric fireplace, I discovered something pretty scary. As you know, this is the door to the pantry, the whole thing swings open. As a result all the electrical has to pass through a split loom conduit between the wall...

I'm new to RV'ing and I recently found water wasn't working. I found that the cold weather appears to have busted my water filter. I realize in some other RV's the filter and other water connections are enclosed and thus they get some heat from inside, and another good practice is to keep cold...

Hello everyone. Glad to be here. My wife and I are retiring Feb. 2025 and hooking up our Flagstaff, then hitting the road to travel this great country for a couple of years. We close on our home the end of this year. So looking forward to our next phase in life. Wishing everyone a Merry...

My husband and I just bought a Microlite 2024 25SRK. We can not get a signal to bedroom TV. Outside coaxial is hook up properly. Have not found any kind of button to turn off booster. Any suggestions?

My Propane/CO alarm aged out. In my misguided efforts to quiet the alarm, I cleaned my battery terminals, verified 13.5 volts or so while on shore power, and, and, and... Well, at least that maintenance is done...again. My rig is a 2020, so I thought aging out was premature. So, in desperation...
