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.

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was just checking the equipment. At this point I want it fixed because I paid for it. I will probably never use it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drzaius Posted May 1, 2018 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
