Re: Chassis warranty
Welcome to the “no dealer will touch it” club. It’s not just Dodge, most Ford dealers will not work on RV’s (especially the bigger ones), but there are a few. I have a class A on a Ford chassis and out of all the Ford dealers in my area, only one will even do simple maintenance tasks. All major stuff (which includes a lube!) I take to a major truck tire / Service center. I’d call around to some of the independent service centers in your area and see if they will work on it, and can perform warranty/recall services for Dodge. I ran into this same issue when I had a Winnebago Rialta on a VW front end. Good luck.401Views0likes0CommentsRe: electric trailer

I think it also means it has it’s own drive wheels to help the tow vehicle tow. Said it had a 300 mile range. Not sure how that works, but there are people smarter than me. (Can’t believe I just admitted that…)674Views0likes0CommentsRe: electric trailer
I know it’s early in the development, but I wonder what experience the designers have in how people will use a travel trailer. Off grid for 7 days is nice, but what’s the capacity of on board water, capacity for onboard grey or black water, how do you heat of cool the thing. With all that glass, cooling it anywhere other than in Canada might be an issue. No real mention of where you can store your stuff How does the electric motors on the L1 sync with the tow vehicle, gas or EV?674Views0likes0CommentsRe: full wall slideout issue - maybe
Sorry about the formatting. 72185 County Rd 3 Newmar Corporation 866.290.5371 Nappanee, IN 46550 Fax 574.773.2007 Product Information Bulletin Date Issued 01/29/15 PIB # Full-wall Slide-out 38 Operation YEAR / BRAND / TYPE / MODEL # The intent of this Product Information Bulletin is to inform of the recommended operating procedure for all Newmar Product with full-wall slide-outs. Product Information In the past, Newmar has recommended leveling the coach prior to deploying the slide-outs. Although this is still the recommendation for coaches without full wall slide-outs, Newmar makes the following recommendation for coaches equipped with a full wall slide-out. PLEASE REVIEW THIS RECOMMENDED PROCEDURE: Motorhomes, as all vehicles, flex in travel. Flexing may be different due to terrain and the coach’s fulcrums (resting on tires or jacks). This is normally not an issue for coaches without a full wall slide-out. Although the jacks and the slide-out mechanism are both welded to the chassis frame, with a full wall slide-out, you have a large box (the slide), inside another large box (the coach) and they both flex, especially the coach. As the coach flexes, this movement is more noticeable in the outside reveal due to the wider slide-out. Additional care should be taken once the coach is parked. Before operating the full wall slide-out, one should walk around the driver’s side and look at the “reveal” or “gap” of the two vertical wall trims around the full wall slide-out to make sure there is plenty of clearance so the trim will not rub when running the slide-out to the out position. If the gap looks good then the slide out can be operated. If the gap is tight in one or more places, try leveling the coach to see if that corrects it, then operate the slide out. If at any time there is cause for concern, do not operate the slide-out and call Newmar Customer Service. PLEASE NOTE: Most often the gap will look best when sitting on the tires and not the jacks. If you have any questions regarding this P.I.B., please contact a Warranty Service Representative at Newmar Corpo1.4KViews0likes0Comments
