Question to all WW FS3000 owners

Ok. Have a other question. Have a few people staying with us the maiden trip in Feb. As bigger people they are concerned about the weight holding of the drop down beds. Anyone recall the weight rating? I've looked all over for a marking and didn't see one.

Thank you Bedlam and Htwheelz67,

Good to know they have electronic ignition. So upon turning them on, they should fire up? Makes things easier. Doubt I will ever use the oven.

Man, Htwheelz, that is a impressive list of mods. I want to do quite a bit of that. Add a TV to the bedroom. Run a MiniX PC to utilize digital movies, and such for entertainment. Have a OK headunit for now, and I have a Zone switch (Bedroom, Main Trailer, Outside, All) for speakers already. Bedroom speakers need changed already. Would like a subwoofer, that would be cool. I am trying to find colored LED replacements for the little lights above the cabinets. Would like to find the BBQ that hooked to the side of the trailer, and connected to the propane line next to the step.

Already have Fuel Stabilizer, and try to get out at least 2 times a month to the storage place an run the generator for a bit, and the ACs. Which I need to figure how to open, so I can clean the filters.

You should have a 12v power outlet just to the right of the front door,I think it it also the TV amplifier, I removed mine and just made it a 12v outlet as I wanted to install a directv dish. You can also install a power inverter and plug the trailer into that and your outlets will work, I did that and a lot of other cool mods to my fs3000 (solar, Reverse osmosis system, DI water unit,an outside hose bibb, 2 flat screens, entertainment switching center,LED lights,directv,new stereo and switches to turn on outside speakers, power amp, subwoofer,XM radio dock,main tv into the stereo for "surround sound", new flooring, porcelin toilet,mattress upgrades, 2nd portable A/C for when its over 110 at the river, electric tongue jack.....on and on and on. I know the fs 3000 like the back of my hand now, one thing I can recommend is excercise your genny at least once a month and put fuel stabilizer in the tank, the carb is not rebuildable and drain the fuel out of the bowl when storing. Like others said no pilots except the oven, the "clickers or ignitors" on the stove quit working fast so use a BBQ lighter.

The only pilot you manually have to light is in the oven. The stove top has a manual sparker and the water heater, fridge and RV heater have electronic ignition.

Guess my next question for all you FS3000 owner, (I forgot since I bought the trailer a few months ago), where are all the pilot lights located?

It's really not that tough if you want to wire in an adapter. Most of your lights are all 12v.

You could install a cigarette adapter if you can find 12v power, or even something like pictured below which would step down the power.

Lots of options.

Thats a pretty good idea also, DC plug or USB.

See I thought the lights were 12v, all run without generator, which is why I hoped maybe the bathroom, or bedroom plugs may also work without generator.

Thanks everyone, that's what I thought but was hoping otherwise, at least for the small things. Guess I'll have to get use to using my power sticks over night for the cell phones, and recharge them while the generator is on.

I do like the idea of adding cig plugs(DC). Was that a DIY project?

As already pointed you will not have any 110v outlets working in your trailer without the generator, unless, you have a power inverter installed some where. On some RVs these are used to power a TV off the battery bank. I doubt the FS3000 would have come with an inverter.

Here is a good resource to learn about the 12v power systems, and batteries in your RV. The 12vote Side of Life

No outlet will work unless you have the generator running, are connected to 'shore' power, or you use a power inverter (12VDC to 120VAC).

For the phones, tablet, ect, I use car chargers, and have added a couple of 12V cig lighter style plugs in the bedroom and other areas. Power inverters are not efficient, especially using one to charge a cell phone, and a large one would be required to run a coffee maker (heating element).
