First post. Been looking at the mentioned RV. My issue is the tow vehicle. I cannot get a 2500 at this time, just need advice on if this is a good fit or not. 2020 GMC Sierra Crew Cab, short bed, Elevation trim, 5.3L V8, 3.23 gears. The GVWR of the truck is 6900 lbs, GCWR 15,000, Max payload...

Recently purchased a new 290RL. Climbed up a 12 ft ladder to wash front fiberglass cap and discovered serious crazing/cracking of fiberglass running above the front window up to the roof line, an area about 2ft by 3 ft. You can see the crazing under the Salem Hemisphere decal. Taking it to local...

Hi. Does anyone know if a Salem 16 RKB has low point drains? Nothing found underneath. Not mentioned in the manual.

Help! We are trying to decide between these 2 trailers. We are a family of 5 and have a small Goldendoodle that camps with us as well. My husband loves the quality and layout of the Hemisphere, and I love all of the extra storage in the dbud. My husband prefers the fiberglass exterior of the...

Bought a 2021 Salem FSX 17BHSK brand new from dealer in February and took it on first trip where we weren't going to have city water hookups. Drove to campground with empty tanks and filled the clean water tank almost full at campground and used most of it during the weekend. Drove home 3-4...

We want to replace the door mechanism on our 2019 Salem FSX with a combination lock set up. There are so many options on Amazon, I do not want to waste time buying the wrong thing and returning it. I’ve looked in the owners manual and can’t find the information. Has anyone replaced the door lock...

I made a request of the admins about creating a new sub forum for Salem FSX and Wildwood FSX TH owners. As you may have already noticed, they graciously added it tonight. I just thought it would be a great idea to combine these threads available in one location. Some threads have already been...

We just brought home our new 178BHSKX. Loves this thing. Our first "new" RV. I even bought it fresh from the factory so spent a lot of time cleaning the past weekend. While cleaning, I found out there is a lot of missed storage opportunities. I plan to take advantage of those along with several...

First time camper owner here! I got a new, winterized Salem FSX in early spring, and it’s time to de-winterize. All has gone well - ran all the taps until they ran clear- but I can’t remember how I’m supposed to set up the water heater. There are 2 valves under the sink - both were open when I...

New to your forum. Since I pick up my Trailer in a few weeks I am trying to find a place to get dimensions and distance on a couple of items on this trailer.

Hello, I am totally new here so please be patient with my questions. :-) Doing some research on the above trailers. I was leaning towards the Springdale as it was nice and the price point is good. I was told today that they use particle board in the floors of the Springdale, and plywood in the...

So my other post has gone somewhat off topic mostly because of me. I am now a proud owner of a 2021 Wildwood FSX 190RT and it was manufactured this year. At least for the 2021 Salem and Wildwood FSX toyhaulers (didn't really look at any other model lines) they have in their description of...

Thank you for letting us join the forum. We love our Salem Cruise Lite West 21ft. Looking forward to helpful advise from the other members. We usually boondock and love it, but last year, became fond of full service. WHO KNEW?? Nice to be able to use the microwave!

While camping last fall in our new camper (which comes with very little in terms of owner/user manuals) we noticed that the blue awning strip lights had turned white. Didn’t know they changed colors and don’t know how that happened. How do we change the light color on awning lights?

We just bought a very nice 2015 Salem Hemisphere lite 302 FK, MY question is our bed. NOw that I have actually dressed my bed (mattress pad, sheets one blanket and a thin bed spread) every time we close the slide the mattress bunches up at the foot against the closet..we stripped the bed and...

Hi Everyone, I'm looking to buy a new 2021 Salem 32BHDS. My wife and I are deciding between this one and the Jayco Jayflight 32 BHDS. My wife loves the Look, feel and storage of the Salem. I do feel like the Jayflight is a little better build. Who better than this forum to help with the pro's...
