Re: Opinions on a camper that's been sitting for 2+ years?
Thanks for all the input everyone! Great ideas I wouldn't have considered. Hopefully we'll be able to get the camper home next week, looks like rain this week now when I was planning on it. Looks like I'll have some work to do in the coming weeks! Thanks again.1.7KViews0likes0CommentsOpinions on a camper that's been sitting for 2+ years?
We have a 2019 324BHTS Eagle TT. Used it regularly that year we got it, and then after covid, have only used it a time or 2. My guess is our last trip was likely toward the end of the summer 2021. We decided it's time to get back to camping, and need to get it out of storage and home to start going through it again. Besides it being relatively dusty on the inside, the tires have surprisingly held most of their pressure, roof is looking good, and when I turned on the battery kill switch everything powered up and all slides worked after sitting all this time. Just curious some of the most important maintenance items I should be looking at now to have this road ready / camping ready again. Will be towing it home this week or next to get a jump on things, and just wondering what the experts here would be doing to get everything up and running. It has been winterized this whole time, but has also been sitting in a gravel storage facility. Will the wheel bearings be an issue? I can't imagine the camper having much more than 1000 miles or so on it as most of our camping has been done locally with the exceptions of a few longer trips. Any input will be helpful, and thank you in advance.Solved1.8KViews1like8CommentsRe: Having Frame Rust Restored?
Ok, so on the POR-15 i can go straight over any rust, and it will stop any progress? I was looking into Ospho, but this is the first I’ve heard of POR. There isn’t a lot to do underneath, but if we do it ourselves im going to recruit my wife and hit everything rusted and not?578Views0likes0CommentsHaving Frame Rust Restored?
Anyone ever taken their TT to a body shop or any place to have frame rust repaired, and the surface repainted? I'm assuming my TT arrived at the dealership during the winter months and wasn't properly cleaned up. there are some areas that are just unsightly to me. There is nothing that looks close to being compromised, however for being so new it's just a bit disappointing. Was considering having a body shop see what the could do, if anything. is this just wasting time and money or worth the investment? I would say pending any unforeseen circumstance, we'll end up keeping this for several years. Just wondering if it's worth having done for piece of mind?1.8KViews0likes10CommentsRe: A/C Auto Lo?

From what wveryone has been saying, im assuming its a warranty issue. So does the fan run by itself in 'Fan lo' mode? The RV wiring should have 3 wires used for cooling: 1. Cool - runs the compressor 2. Fan low - runs the fan low speed 3. Fan high - runs the fan high speed In 'Fan low' mode the thermostat turns on #2. In 'Fan high' mode it turns on #3. In 'Cool low' mode it turns on #2 always and #1 when cooling is needed. In 'Cool high' mode it turns on #3 always and #1 when cooling is needed. In 'Cool low auto' mode it turns on #2 and #1 when cooling is needed. In 'Cool high auto' mode it turns on #3 and #1 when cooling is needed. If wire #2 is not connected, there will be no fan in any of the 'low' modes. great question, thanks for bringing it to my attention. will check it out.770Views0likes0Comments
