I usually get 60/80 hrs a month but between business and personal travel April was not a good shop month. Luckily after some yard work this week I should be back in the shop groove. Quote

Wondering if you had any bugs in your camper that need to be worked out with it being new and the first time camping with it. I have tested everything at home and its been just some small things that were a easy fix. I have been lucky so far. Quote

This made me chuckle as I remembered back to our first trip with a new 5th wheel we had some years back. My friend we were traveling with calls me on the 2way radio and says you have water pouring out of your 5th wheel I'm like WTH...turned out when they built the unit someone forgot to tighten the band clamp around the clean water fill hose and water was sloshing out of the 40 gallon tank and out the back of the camper Quote

I was looking around in my camper when I first got it and noticed face frame next to the stove was all scratched up. They forgot to finish installing the stove and the gas line was the only thing holding it in but the water seems to be all good. LOL. 1 Quote

I have tested everything at home and its been just some small things that were a easy fix. I have been lucky so far. The only issue I had was the microwave. It would not heat up my coffee. The convection oven function worked great, but when using as microwave it just sat there and spun the mug. It seemed to be operating correctly, it just would warm anything up. Other than that, everything was great. 1 Quote

mat60 Posted May 1, 2018 Report Posted May 1, 2018 I was wondering if you are a member of any RV forums @MattF..I find them quite helpful because working on campers is a hobby in itself. Quote

drzaius Posted May 1, 2018 Report Posted May 1, 2018 RV.net is a large forum with lots of very good info. I can only use it in limited amounts though because it's populated by a very vocal minority of know-it-alls. Not near the level of civility that there is here. 1 Quote

I hope you made full use of the attractions there. Last I heard it was the world's largest open air aquarium. Pricey, but a really good family vacation spot, got things for all ages. Quote

No kids with but you're never to old for a water slide or 8, I tried them all more than once Just walking the property to see all the pools, beach, aquariums and ponds was awesome as well. Quote
