Re: What brands of Travel Trailers are NEW & Quality
Like others I have been around campers most of my life. They are the worst when the economy is the good. Everyone is racing to produce as fast as possible. When the economy tanks, I'm pretty sure they hold onto the better workers and slow down.1.3KViews0likes0CommentsRe: New guy questions ( sorry )
The search box is your friend lots of info on here. To get the best feedback people need to know what you have? Water heater make, camper make/model/year. Assuming you have the most common stuff: Jack are 3/4, you may have a crank handle for it on board somewhere. Anode rods last 6 months to two years. Lots of variables. Change it when it's almost down to the steel rod. Yes, clean up the threads to keep it from seizing up in there. Use Teflon tape on the new one. Caps and gaskets can be had at any major hardware store. Many drain lines have shut off, caps are just to keep bugs/debris out. Some will need caps to seal the system. Don't crank them down, just a little more than hand tight should do it.262Views0likes0CommentsRe: 2015 Forest River Wildwood 32BHDS
Lots to look at on any used unit: Pull up dinette cushions and check for water damage at outer corners. Same under bunk house sofa. Check outer slide seals/wipes, very poor quality rubber. Pull inspection cover under shower/tube and check for missing tub support which causes drain pipe to break and rot floor under tub. Asssume both door windows leak unless resealed by current owner. If original tires, replace all 5 asap. Assume you will need to re-caulk everything bolted to the exterior, they seem to ration it at the factory.193Views0likes0Comments
