Designer 35RLTS and Jayco Talk...Thanks Frank!!

Well -- we finally got the recall done. At the first campground, we had no hum. THIS campground -- LOUD hum! :/ Kayak30336 -- did you get yours replaced yet?

We also have two new slide toppers and two new shocks. :-D

They suggested I keep caulking the side every couple of weeks or as needed. I think I'll have to come up with something else. ??

Thanks!

I have wood glue and tiny nails all set to do the job...just could not figure out how to get the drawer out...

1. Pull the drawer all the way out.
2. On either side you will see a black plastic thingy (that's the technical word) that's kinda like a spring. On the one side (I think the left), the movable part goes UP; the OTHER side, it goes DOWN.
3. Squash both thingies at the same time and the drawer will come all the way out.
4. To put back in, no squashing is necessary. Line them up, push, and they will click.

I have had several of these drawers bust out the bottoms in 5 years. don't be afraid to use extra screws. If they go thru, just cover the sharp end with a bit of foam and/or duct tape so you don't scratch anything or draw blood.

Ok have a question...

In the bedroom I have the door and 3 drawers in place of where the washer/dryer option would be...below the TV that swings out

I have to repair the bottom of one of the drawers but can't figure out how to get the drawer out so I can work with it...any ideas or suggestions?

Well that weekend didn't go too bad, fridge goes from off to frozen solid in 4 hours. It was snowing pretty good and the weather didn't get warm till we got home. Guess we'll analyze that issue when it gets warmer.

L&M, we have some flex as well when we hook up but no separation at the seam. The service manager suggested getting it inspected ASAP. He told us that Jayco has pretty good frames that hold up very well. He guessed that there may have been an overweight vs bad road issue. He must have a super crystal ball or some experience, who knows.

Kayak, we had our recall done last Thursday and we get no loud hum with 30 amp shore power @ 2 locations or with generator. I discussed your issue with service manager and he thinks your problem may be your power source. I have an on-board power monitor and my input power stays within 110-130 range (green). If all check out as good he suggested another switch box.

I have had some separation on the right side, only the right. But my nose does settle a lot when I hook up. I'm sure if I drove the miles you do I would have the same issue. I'm pretty sure we have the same frame underneath. I intend to inspect and beef our pin up in the future

How about this?

The vertical separation of which I wrote is evident in the first photo. It started over a year ago. I caulked it, but the caulk didn't hold -- even though it was the flexible kind. The duct tape is just there to keep the rain out.

We just noticed the other damage recently, visible in the second photo, down by the landing gear.

This all could have come about when we had a suspension problem last year, but I didn't see a link until now. That problem has been fixed (April, 2012).

Hey L&M, It's been awhile.
Our Dometic microwave bit the dust last fall (bad park power). We spent all winter looking for replacements, we've discovered that no one makes the 22" microwave any more, not even Jayco. We wound up getting it fixed at a local repair shop. We purchased a small table top model from camping world and they "transferred" parts from the new one to our old one so we wouldn't loose the lights and exhaust fan. Total cost was $150. We got lucky. Can you post some pictures of your separation? I can inspect ours and give you a comparison.

Kayak30336, thank you for your input. We get ours replaced at the end of this week and with your information we'll be sure to check it out with both shore and generator BEFORE we leave. They can always put the old one back in.

Getting ready for a 4 day weekend (after recall) to flush the pink stuff and ready the 5vr for the 4 week trip to Yellowstone/Rushmore.

Hope everyone is well,

Kayak30336 -- We didn't get ours taken care of yet. We have an appointment scheduled for May and will get it done then.

Has anyone else experienced vertical separation in the front end when hooked up to the truck? I think something's broken in there. :-(

We're also looking at replacing the Apollo convection/microwave. Has anyone else done this? Found any that fit other than another Apollo?
