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

Cruz, I've put decorative hat boxes up there -- can store some needed items (hats!) and make an interesting impression through the glass. We've also used some protective sheilding ("Foamies Sheets" from Michael's) to prevent the removal of the frosting on the glass. I tried using wrapping paper to cover the glass on the inside, but haven't found a good match yet.

Well ... made a somewhat serious mistake this weekend !! Decided to go have a free lunch at one of our local Jaco dealer's anniversary sale, and check out some new rigs. :S
My DW had just made the comment that it would take something pretty special to beat our current 5th wheel ... then we walked into the new 35RLTS. It was sharp!!
DW said that everything she would do differently in ours, was done in the new one. I THINK it was a 2010 ... with the 40" TV that just rises out of the entertainment unit ... and a FULL picture window in the back! (The TV felt extremely unstable though.)

Anyway ... in order to make DW happy, I've agreed to look into two things we both liked on the 2010 that SHOULD be fairly simple to change in our 2008.
These are:
> replace the smoked glass across the top of the entertainment center with solid doors. (maybe just leave the center one so the remote will work!)
> replace the glass in the upper cabinets ... or do something to make it harder to see thru. (you can see anything you have packed up there!)

Has anyone tackled these things yet? :h

That would be my guess too... that you have some wire pinched somewhere between the plug and the breaker panel. They may have run a screw up into it. Did they remove any of your lower panel?

IIRC you had some rear end damage on your 5er? I would check to make sure that the receptical where you plug your cord in is correctly connected. It is near the back and they more than likely had to un-hook it from the back side to get you fixed up. Sounds like it may be loose and you have a short.

Just make sure you do this with the trailer UNPLUGED from the power ped.

ooooouch :( OK Now we have a problem. Finally got our baby back and it's like new. This year we decided to buy a small lot in a RV resort so we can use the trailer more when not traveling all over the USA. So here's the problem. After setting up we wash the trailer. When I go to open the basement door I got one heck of a nasty shock. I check all my electrical connections and everything is good. With a meter I measure 15VAC between the trailer and the wet ground. When I turn off the main breaker at the pole I STILL have 15VAC. When I unplug from the pole the voltage goes away. I suspect a leakage between the ground but everything checks out at the pole. Electrician says it's my trailer. I don't buy his explanation. Any ideas?? I'm going to drive in a grounding stake but I think that will mask my true issue.

Is your brand made by Apollo and if you look 1 page back your oven has the light and fan switch in the bottom left hand corner in the pictures I posted???

Mine is the exact same as the one you posted. The model number which is posted inside the micro door on mine is AAC240TRB.

Yes. We have had a replacement unit installed about 6 months ago and have the same model. It was important to me since I cut and modified the wall to vent to the exterior.

I asked because of th pictures I posted 1 page back...your's has the exact same switches in the bottom left hand corner...

As you can see ours is cracked in that corner and to this point so far Jayco is now asking our dealer for a picture of the entire unit because via the initial pictures they sent to Jayco, Jayco is saying that "this is possible not our microwave" and may not be a defect because of "forceful usage"?

Contacting the dealer again this morning...

Yes, I winterized the entire coach. The washer/dryer was put in by the dealer over the winter and when we first turned it on it had pink antifreeze coming out. Just had bad luck I guess.
