Re: Cedar Creek rear cap cracks
yellow dog wrote: We previously had a Jayco Eagle 5th wheel (2008), that had issues arise just out of warranty. I contacted my dealer, who worked with me contacting Jayco directly, and they stood behind their product. The difference is, the issue with Cedar Creek happened while it was new. Manufacturers that stand behind their product line is what keeps people coming back. Forest River does not stand behind their products as I have personally found out twice, and are the reasons I will not go back. I wish you luck dealing with them. Don't get your hopes up.350Views0likes0CommentsRe: RV retail sales drop 31% April year over year.

So you sell widgets and you have a big stockpile that sell for let's say $100 and now the market supports selling that same widget for $150 you are going to keep selling at $100??????? Monkey44 is just expressing his disdain for capitalism, just as most folks who are not motivated and self reliant support socialism. It’s ok. If everyone was was motivated and self reliant and capitalist, there would be less cheese to go around for the motivated people to eat! YEP!!!

For the last 8-10 years the vast majority of travel trailers and 5th wheels have Alpha Systems Superflex roofing, basically a thin PVC, think thin pool Liner. Forest River and Thor use it on most if not all of their brands and it has been on every Grand Design product ever made. That's about 90%+ of the towable market. Alpha systems entered into an exclusive distribution agreement with Lippert in 2020, that should tell you its the cheapest material available.881Views0likes0CommentsRe: Ford F150 Lightning Started Deliveries

Agreed, but you can half arse power your house with an $800 Hazard Fraught contractor genny, you certainly don't need a $70K+ pickup truck. Back in the day Kirby made a water pump attachment for their vacuum cleaners. Nothing like buying an uber expensive vacuum cleaner at the time to pump out your basement or drain your swimming pool?736Views0likes0CommentsRe: Ford F150 Lightning Started Deliveries

When we had numerous PSPS, they shut off the gas as well. Everyone with a built-in GENPAC was SOL and those with solar and backup were golden. I was fine with my cheap-o gas-powered generator. Ford is the one making the claim that it can run your house. https://media.ford.com/content/fordmedia/fna/us/en/news/2022/02/02/f-150-lightning-power-play.html Ok, valid point if you want to split hairs, so how about a 48KW diesel generator with a 2500 gallon tank? We've never lost gas service during blackouts, perhaps a CA thing?735Views0likes0Comments
