Sorry to hear this happened to you Lyle! If this was recent with your still newish FW, I hope it was not damaged.

Happy Holidays to you and family!

Hell, haven't even picked up the FW from the dealer who was doing some last fixes before the warranty ran out.
Have a Merry and safe Christmas and New Year, Jerry, and to all on RV.net!
