For the Bunkhouse being colder, mine was like that as well and I discovered the hose was disconnected at the furnace plenum for the rear vents, you may want to take the cover off below your fridge and make sure they are all connected good. Just so you know, my cover was attached with the square bit screws.

I will pull that cover off in the morning and have a look. Thanks!

We had our final outing of the camping season this past weekend and had a little issue that I wanted to run by you guys. Last night was cold. Temps dropped down to the mid 30's. I had the thermostat set at 67 but when I awoke this morning my inside thermometer read 60 degrees and my furnace was not running. I had to raise the desired temp on my thermostat to 70 degrees before it would come on. My other problem I had was with how cold the bunk house got. It had to be a good 5 degrees colder (if not more) than the rest of the trailer. I guess ill have to stick a small heater in the back........

Do you have a digital thermostat? It made a big difference when I put my digital one in.

Edit- my bad, I started typing my response then came back a little later to finish...didn't mean to repeat...

garysol, I remember reading that some people have found their heater ducting that runs to the bunkhouse disconnected. That may be the reason that your bunkhouse was cold.
I think your thermostat may need adjusted for the issue of your camper being cold but it being set at 67. I have a temp thermocouple with my voltmeter and have checked the actual air temp with my thermo setting. Mine is within a couple degrees.

Good info. I may run out side and physically check the temp of the air coming out of the bunkhouse outlet. Not sure why I did not check that this morning......

We bought our 27RBPR this spring and camped pretty much every weekend this year, mostly within 2-4 hours of home but a couple of road trips.. Everything on the unit is great..
But then I went to winterize it and give it a good cleaning and noticed a crack in the fiberglass from the lower left corner of the front drivers side clearance light moving up and towards the center of the trailer.... Sorry pic isn't too clear, but it is the best of the dozen I took.....

I haven't talked to dealer yet, but here's hoping they are going to fix... I actually think FIXING the crack may be preferrable to replacing the entire front nose cone.... I think the potential for leaking is less that way so I am going to see what they come up with.

You guys may want to get up on ladder and check yours as well (you can't see it from ground level).

Anyway, I'm happy now that everything works again and I really like the clean look to it. Plus, my wife doesn't feel so bad anymore about busting up the DVD player :C.

You know you can get a connector plate for about $5 and make it totally trick. No wires hanging out...

Excellent! Thanks for the pictures. Glad to know things are labeled!

I did an additional mod to the Premier last weekend. It was something that I wasn't planning on doing, but should have done a lot earlier.

I don't like to carry a lot of DVDs and most of the media that we watch (me and the kids) is stored on my iPod. I have a lot of movies, podcasts, and kids shows on it. I thought it was really convenient because there was the cable that came with the DVD headunit to watch external sources. The only problem is having that cable sticking out from the front when it's being used. Because it sticks out so much, it gets bumped into accidentally a lot. The first major time, the socket cracked and the plug was loose, but it was still usable. The second major hit was the death blow because the mini-plug snapped and got embedded in the headunit.

I had planned on trying to get access to the back of the TV to use the rear inputs, but I couldn't figure out how to do that without causing major damage. It was also impossible to try to run the wires through the vertical pipe of the swivel mount. So instead I looked in behind the DVD headunit because it was easy to remove:

1. First you carefully remove the trim and it exposes four screws that hold the headunit in.

2. Once that's done, the whole thing slides out and you can see the nest of wires in behind it:



Luckily, all the wires are clearly labeled and I could see that the Aux1 input was not used. Aux3 is for the front input (which is now broken on mine).

I followed the factory wiring and ran the wires for my iPod through the hole I had cut for the antenna booster in the cabinet above the TV and dropped them down the wall. Then I cut an additional two holes (one through each section) in the little shelf under the TV for the iPod to connect to the rear of the DVD headunit:



Now the entire setup is much neater and tidier. We can watch all our media without extra wires hanging all over the place. Even if you don't have an iPod, you could run regular RCA cables there for external input. I think they should have done something like that straight from the factory.

Anyway, I'm happy now that everything works again and I really like the clean look to it. Plus, my wife doesn't feel so bad anymore about busting up the DVD player :C.

Do you also have that smell even after using the black tank flush?

Only when I dump the tank. There is no smell coming from the holding tank. I'll try to close the gray vavle and see what happens. Thanks all.
