Doug,
Unfortunately, already at the dealer...(out of warranty! of course) , waiting for the estimate. The guy that checked me in says ... "it almost always ends up being a stuck blade". Not sure which/where "fuse" you speak of... I felt obligated to take it in as I didn't want my Turkey dinner and left overs to sit too long and ferment. (mercy !). I'm a simpleton when it comes to engineering , but why wouldn't the design team have left an accessible panel to as critical an element as this i.e. the manual override ??? or, why not re-locate the key components to under the forward crawl space area allowing us simpletons direct access ? C'mon man.
On the bright side... my external "satellite ready" cable connector has never worked... possibly mis-connected or bad splitter, the one in the storage area has always worked. Now that I have satellite Dish, I thought it best to have them ping it and see what the problem is. So I'll add this to the "to do" list.
I took the opportunity to walk thru the 2015's ...mostly cosmetic changes, not necessarily upgrades. Newer front caps, mor-ryde instead of Reese Airborne tongue, did notice more lugs...heavier axles, and newer decal package. The largest rig had a dual door refrigerator / freezer and a nice large pantry. Fit and finish seems about the same good quality. Just my 15 min. walk thru opinion. I did not check out the TT's only the 5ver's.
