Let us know how install goes, I'd like to do the same. Just installed one in the house, can't be any different.


confirmed that I'm an idiot. Couldn't resist the "low price" and bought the wrong t'stat. Went to Benlo last Friday, talked to them and they confirmed I need the "upgrade kit" to go digital, it includes a new thermostat and control module that goes inside the A/C, pretty straight forward but comes without a wiring diagram!!!! How can you sell a control unit without a wiring diagram? Thought that was not legal. Well went on the Dometic website and found the installation manual for the newer version of the A/C I have and it has all the proper wiring diagrams for the various applications. Might tackle it tonight. Jim if you're handy with wiring and can understand the basic operation of the system you should be OK. The kit was $96.00.

Anyone want a digital thermostat for a Coleman?

I believe I installed the EMS after the transfer switch to protect the trailer from both generator and shore power. The hardest part was working with the thick wire, #2 I think.

The disc brake conversion can easily be done in a weekend. I ran the hard brake line along the passenger side on the outside of the frame and then up through the passenger side propane compartment and into the front compartment where I mounted the pump. You have to run new wire, #12 I believe, from the pin box back to the pump. I bought my kit from stop your trailer. The owner, Bill, is very helpful with any questions you may have. I had a couple for him.

Nice Momentum. I just got a new/used Harley to haul in ours. Our last trip, I had 5 bicycles, 2 kayaks, 3 kids suitcases, corn hole boards, etc... in the back. It holds a lot of stuff.


Yeah, we are really liking it. I do need to add some tie-downs in the garage however.

I notice you have the disc brake conversion. How long did it take for you to install? Also, the PI EMS-50 you have, did you wire it in before or after your transfer switch?

Picked ours up from the dealership service department yesterday. After they repaired a few minor things on it since we've now camped in it a dozen times: 2017 Stealth WA2916

These are the items we found not working, they fixed everything but the DVD is on order:
DVD player stops after 20 seconds - on order.

back right burner - fixed.

Hotwater on electric - fixed.

Outside shower leaked into slide out - fixed.

Broken gear on powered jack, worked a few times, then started making an awful grinding sound while still working - replaced.

Kitchen silverware drawer, broken support inside cabinet/not working/not staying in - fixed.


Took too long for my tastes at the shop. Like give me the appointment date when you are going to work on it and I'll have it there before hand. Don't sit on it for 3 weeks. But it is all fixed now with the exception of the DVD player being on order.

And we had them add a Slideout Cover.

I have 5 vent covers to install now and we'll be good to go once the DVD player is fixed. My daughter is the one that wants the DVD player working so badly, LOL. Kids!

Replaced three screws on the h-frame of my LR Schwintek slide mechanism.

The heads had popped off so I just drove the new screws in beside the dead bodies of the old ones. Figured that would give better anchors than drilling new holes and screwing into ??.

few small things to address but other than that, it proved perfect on its maiden trips. I hate to leave the baby with the service dept ๐Ÿ™‚ ๐Ÿ™‚


If they are minor id say your probably better off doing it yourself. Get done and don't have to worry or wait too long.


oh I hear you on that but hubby wants a new fan installed in master. we got the little cheapy fan in the ceiling and hubby wants a 'reverse' fan so it blows down so we are going to replace. While there we will have the minor warranty stuff done also. I know what you mean tho, why bother if it is so minor but it has to be there anyway ๐Ÿ™‚ ๐Ÿ™‚

Replaced the top weatherstrip seal on the LR & BR slides. The originals had turned to gooey mush.
