Weekend Warrior FS2300 Carport
Howdy all! I've been digging around online without much luck, can anyone confirm the dimensions of a 2006 Weekend Warrior FS2300? I found the length at 27' and the width at 8', but can't confirm that anywhere. I also can't find the height. I am looking to figure out what size metal carport to buy so that I can provide some protection from the elements. The previous owner had it in a metal building and I can't stand the idea that it will start to fall to pieces under my care. :) Thanks! Chris713Views0likes1CommentWeekend Warrior Frame Fix Photo?
Hi there! Does anyone have a photo of the recommended fix for the Weekend Warrior frame issue? I am referring to the weak frame on 2002-2006 WWs that could result in a bent frame/tongue. I have a friend who owns a welding business willing to help out but I need to get a better idea on the proper fix. I've been digging through the forums here but the vast majority of photos seem to be from PhotoBucket before they decided to take down all photos unless you pay them... Thanks for your time!

Well, take my list with a grain of salt since I'm a newby myself, but here is what I did find out and found valuable and/or wish I had found out. 1. Generator operation, including switching between power sources 2. Heater operation 3. AC operation 4. Fridge operation (including various modes 5. Stove/Oven/Microwave operation 6. Water and water heater operation 7. Black and Grey water tank use/draining 8. I'm not familiar with the Inferno, but any "conversion" component operation, i.e. drop down bed, slide, etc. 9. Leveling best practices 10. Any other best practices he's found for the toy hauler732Views0likes0CommentsRe: First Time Toy Hauler (RV of any sort) Owner - Help!
Once again, thank you all for your insights! I got to spend 2 nights in the trailer with my wife, her best friend, and on one of the nights two of my friends (plus 3 dogs). A few observations: 1. Don't cook so much onion and garlic haha 2. Instruct your friends on what to do/not to do BEFORE they start drinking 3. Give yourself 20 minutes with the hot water on before you try to take a shower 4. Blocks/ramps for the wheels are a MUST A few questions as well: 1. We ended up being near toilets (kudos to Hollister Hills SVRA to keeping them clean) so we didn't use the trailer toilet. Am I correct in my assessment that we would then only need to dump the grey water tank? And would I be correct in assuming that I can do so on my property as it would just be mostly soapy water? (I am on 3 acres in the country) 2. I got low battery warnings out of my smoke/gas detectors when some of the exterior lights were on and the generator was not (see #2 in observations). I also showed empty batteries when I checked the monitor. When I turned off the lights this stopped and the monitor showed "good" batteries. Would this be indicative of old/bad batteries?732Views0likes0CommentsRe: First Time Toy Hauler (RV of any sort) Owner - Help!
Thank you all so very, very much for your insights. This is all such great information, I really appreciate you taking the time. Two questions have popped up after your replies: 1. Unfortunately, much of the paperwork has been lost for the appliances on the trailer so I need to ask a question I would normally find out for myself: What is the difference between the "Auto" and Gas mode on the refrigerator? As I seem to understand it, Auto uses electricity to maintain temperature (for a while) while as Gas uses propane for "full" operation? 2. When I bought the trailer the gentleman gave me a quick walk around which mostly just left me perplexed. Specifically in the little "electricity compartment." Per the photo below, can you confirm that (1) is the power cut off and (2) is where you plug in the power line when you're running the generator? It seems logical to me but he stated that (1) is a switch for when you go between generator or plug-in power. In my experience so far, that's false.452Views0likes0CommentsFirst Time Toy Hauler (RV of any sort) Owner - Help!
Howdy all! I've wanted a toy hauler since I started riding 20 years ago, and I finally made it happen! A few weeks ago I purchased a 2006 Weekend Warrior FS2300. (Yes, I knew about the Weekend Warrior problems ahead of time). The trailer was a great deal, has been stored under a carport it's whole life, and was owned by a couple who used it twice a year (New Years and 4th of July) for family reunions...needless to say it was cleaner than most of the bajillion I looked at. I've gone through the WW and cleaned/prepped/done maintenance to everything I could think of, but I still have a few questions that I am fully aware are stupid...never having been around RVs or Toy Haulers, I just legitimately have no idea: 1. Can you run the refrigerator when you are towing? Specifically, if I head out for a weekend should I pack my food and drink in a cooler and transfer it over when we get to our destination, or is it okay to put in the refrigerator before we head out? 2. If we have 2 people using the toilet and shower for 2 nights, should I empty the black and grey-water tanks immediately? Or if we plan to head out again within a few weeks, is it okay to leave it until we have a few more days of use? 3. Does the generator charge the batteries as well as powering the trailer? When do people usually run the generator? 4. In general, is there anything I should know about toy haulers/travel trailers? 5. Specific to the WW frame issue, what can I do to mitigate the problem? I checked the frame and while it has a VERY slight (few degree) upturn, the frame is, for all intents and purposes, straight. I haven't seen photos of the frame repair so I can't confirm, but I don't believe it's been done on this trailer.8.3KViews0likes27Comments
