We bought a 2019 Salem by Forest River end of July 1st of August. We've never owned an RV so we knew nothing about it. We were promised many things from the owner of the dealership about teaching/showing us everything we needed to know but once he took our money we didn't exist. We got...
Due to the cracks and outright failures a few people have reported on their later model year Georgetowns, and because we had two cracks on our 2020 Georgetown GT5 with 17,000 miles, we wanted to add some type of "last resort" protection to keep the propane tank from falling and possibly hitting...

Remember this thread from October 2023? https://www.forestriverforums.com/forums/f240/avoided-potential-disaster-270546.html
A 2023 Europa owner found one end of their propane tank had fallen down and was almost hitting the ground due to missing nuts on the mounting bolts.
A similar failure...
I'm new to the full time camper life. We got thrown into pretty fast, but we feel it was def the right decision. Anyways we're in New England, and the winters are not too mild. I have a 36ft forest river cedar Creek 5th wheel, 2003. Right now we have two 30lb tanks that will last at the longest...
Where is the fill port for the fresh water tank on a 2004 Forest River Cardinal?? We have looked and looked and cannot find it ����*♀️����*♀️����*♀️ Thank you for any guidance with this y’all
If you had a propane tank mounting failure or cracking of any type at any time, no matter how long ago, please read this.
My contact at the NHTSA would like to speak with anyone that had a crack or outright failure in order to try and get a better idea of how widespread this issue is or is not...
When boondocking, my biggest annoyance is the water pump constantly cycling. While washing hands or dishes with the valves half-open, it cycles every 3-4 seconds, causing the lights to flicker from the in-rush current draw.
I know its supposed to have a bypass, and I could go chase that down...
We have had intermittent issues with our grey tank only draining with a trickle and backing up in the shower sometimes even with the valve being left open when hooked to sewer - as I suspected when I pulled the grey/black tank Y apart this is what I found. Two hole saw plugs left in the tank...
For the 1st time in about 3 years of using my East-West Silverlake TT, I have encoutered a problem with my fresh water tank. Since night-time temps are low (20-degrees) now, I filled the fresh water tank about half full even though I am connected to city water. I did this assuming that the...
Hello, newbie here to TT and RVs.
I'm trying to identify if my 2020 TT 221BHXL has a black tank flush inlet. I've searched and goggled but nothing concrete, so I have some photos. On the city water inlet there is no other inlet. On the other side I have 2 water inlets: one not labeled with a...
I just bought a new Palomino Puma 27RLSS travel trailer, I would like to upgrade the tank water heater with a tankless water heater. What would the users here recommend for a replacement? Thanks in advance.
I have a 2020 Cedar Creek Hathaway Edition 5th wheel (34IK.)
When I'm using the RV in freezing temperatures (highs of 32-33* and overnight temperatures at 8-10*) for a couple of days in a row, should I be concerned about water freezing in the water heater overnight when I'm not using it (read...

Trying to find info on the grey and black tanks. I know I have 2 each. I have a panel that will let me check qty in grey tank 1 and grey tank 2. As well as both black tanks. I was under the impression that they were in “series” ie when tank 1 filled up, it would begin to...
Hi, in the process of winterizing my Solera 27DSE. Went to drain the fresh water tank and ran into a problem. There is a plug in the middle of the fresh water tank. Attempted to pull it out, no luck. Took a vise grip to it to see if I could move or twist it, no luck. In fact it started to...
Hi there! Just picked up a new 2023 178BHSK. The extra supports are on it and I was just wanted to know from those of you who have had this completed, does it seem to be sufficient? Any further issues with the water tank at all? Thanks for the information
Happy New Year, Folks! My rig is a 2021 Palomino Solaire 217BH. My understanding is that it's best to drain the water heater tank after each outing. My question is this, how can I drain the tank without removing the water heater anode? It's a 2-gallon tank. When we get back from a trip, I open...
I searched the site and could not find my system. I am sure it is in there, so sorry.
I have a 2019 Dynamax DX3 37ts and want to fill my fresh water tank. I am hooked up to city water during the day but fear I will freeze the line at night. I see there are two valves in the bay. Both have a...
Hello,
I have the 3 bottle propane setup.
On the curb side there are 2 tanks with the 2 stage auto switch over regulator.
How does the 3rd (drivers side) bottle work into this?
Is it another 2 stage regulator that Joins the curb side pair to the drivers side then out to the furnace
Thank you
I've searched everywhere and can't find the tank capacities for black, grey, and fresh for our new/used 2005 wildwood 26bhss. Can anyone help?
We just got it and it's winterized otherwise I'd just fill them and find out. Hoping to find out before we take out maden voyage in the spring.
This will be our first time camping in temps below freezing. I can be warm and cozy using electric heaters (fhu park) but that doesn’t heat the underbelly water etc. I do have heated tanks. The furnace has vents in underbelly but if the inside is warm will the furnace come on if set to...

I tried to search but had little luck.
What is the consensus on towing with “full” black and grey tanks? We’re leaving a campground with a less desirable dump station and headed to a campground with a decent one, and hoping to dump there. Then from that site, we go to a FHU so again...
After reading all the horror stories of freshwater tanks on these trailers falling out or almost falling out, I crawled under my brand-new trailer tonight as I finally got it fit into my shop.... that's a story for another time, I removed a few screws from the underbelly and was able to get...
I'm using my new RV seasonally, and after dumping the black tank I use Happy Campers treatment along with the associated three gallons of water that goes with that treatment.

Getting ready to take my January trip to the SW desert. Expect to be totally off-grid for 2-3 weeks. Wondering how many who boondock with self contained trailers (vs. tent' van, car' camping) and use the outdoor shower with shower tent?
I recall that over the last several years I've seen...
