Our visit to the Nexus factory
Having purchased our Nexus Phantom 23P (24'), used in Tucson we had never seen the Nexus facity in Elkhart IN. Our current trip took us that direction so natuarally we made plans to stop. They have 8 or 9 sites with hook ups and despite having bought used they welcomed us warmly.
I had them mount the spare tire under the rear of the coach so as to free up the rear bumper for my 2 bike rack. Also had them install another seat belt in the dinette facing forward. My third request was to check the fuel fill. Fueling had always been a major Pita as no matter how slowly I went the hose would burp back and shut off repeatedly. I suspected some sort of obstruction in the vent line.
What they found was that the vent line was fine but fill hose had a twist to it that significantly restricted the flow. While the problem originated at the Ford factory they felt that it should have been caught when the coach was built. They pulled and reinstalled the hose, added 5 gallons of gas. The coach is more than a year out of warranty, I'm not the original owner yet there was no charge and best of all it fuels like a dream. I could never let the pump just run, always had to hand hold to feed fuel but now it is set it and forget it.
The new spare mount is great and we love having the additional seat belts in back. They charge $75 an hour and do meticulous work. Our bill out the door was $300, no charge for the overnite sites.
