Re: Momentum 381M
Couple of questions. Spec sheet and Nautilus panel indicate I have an auxiliary water tank. The GD main data sheet supplied with the unit states the water tank is 106 gallons, therefore I assume the aux tank is 51 gallons, since GD website advertises as 157 total gallons of water capacity. How does water from the aux tank get to the water pump? There is no switch/knob to turn to use this supply. Is it gravity fed? Do the tanks equalize? After draining both main and aux tanks empty, I filled the main tank through the panel. The InCommand center indicated 100% full. I let supply water run, to see where it might overflow from, but it never overflowed. Is this normal? Does it overflow into the aux tank? Any help is appreciated.871Views0likes0CommentsRe: Momentum 381M
Got it home Saturday. The truck pulled it very well. I was at 3100 lbs pin weight, but that included the new B&W hitch that was not in my first weigh. A little over 15k empty trailer weight on the way home, 20k gwv. I did an extensive PDI that took over two hours. The only thing we found wrong were the blue under belly LED strip lights were barely attached on the front curb side. Everything else looked/worked great.871Views0likes0CommentsRe: Momentum 381M
We will be hauling a RZR xp1k two seater for now, but have room to upgrade when needed. Kayaks and what not will also come along soon. Not my first post. I've been a member a while, lurking and learning in the background. You guys have answered several questions for me, thank you. My "just kidding" comment must have been overlooked by a few, in regards to my truck. Trying to have a sense of humor...871Views0likes0CommentsMomentum 381M
The wife and I just pulled the trigger on a new Grand Design Momentum 381m. We will be picking it up this Saturday. This will be our first RV of any sort, and we look forward to getting it out. I gave the dealer our extensive PDI checklist so hopefully there are no surprises. Thanks to this forum for that. Do you think our F150 short bed will do ok pulling it, and will we need a slider hitch? Just Kidding!! I worked a B&W Companion puck hitch into the deal. :B I will keep this thread updated with pics once we take delivery. We anxiously await...4.8KViews0likes16CommentsRe: New Vs Used
To get what we (DW) want, we are limited to units 5 or 6 years old or newer. I've been shopping used THs for a while now, and the prices that people are asking for their 1-3 year old units are the same as, or even more then what I can buy the exact same model unit with the same options as, new. I'm fortunate to have two wholesale dealers within an hour of me. Holman RV and Couch's RV Nation are my reference points here.534Views0likes0CommentsRe: Handy Hints, Gadgets, Products & Gizmos
Just took me two weeks of reading this entire thread, a few hours a day.... The oil-less "air fryers" work great at cooking all sorts of things. They can be used outdoors, so won't heat up the RV. They heat up nearly instantly, so they take less time to cook than conventional methods. And they won't use up any propane. Food results are close to that of an actual fryer, but without the grease, or cleanup. Can cook anything that will fit in them. French fries are now super easy, and healthier. The only downside is they are a little on the large side.498Views0likes0CommentsRe: Handy Hints, Gadgets, Products & Gizmos
