Re: Grand Design 260RD issues after a year off - Help Please!!!
I may be a little late, Not sure the microwave is plugged in through gfci for some reason, (past, we had a microwave issue) move the door up and down and make sure it is hiiting the litte whatever they are called inside where the door clicks in. Ours was tweaked just a tad. if it works, open the door, take the plastic trim off the top and see where it is screwed in. Our was tweaked a tad so a loosen of the screws or screw a 1/4 ish turn up or down, re-tweak if you will the unit and the door may set into the connection spot right. good luck.755Views0likes0CommentsRe: Black tank cracked...twice.
not sure where you are located in relation to an rv store, sales, service etc. they usually have a dump station, a cost included i am sure. the other option is to find a close by rv park that will allow you to dump, of course with associated cost, another option is if you can reach your cleanout at the house, that would work or a truck stop or camp ground with dump station. All of most likely of course with an associated cost. Good Luck996Views0likes0CommentsRe: Black tank cracked...twice.
i have never used a pump service, but I agree, the pump service may be the cause, if it isn't the suction it could possibly be teh downward pressure or strees put on the hose connection forcing extra upward force where the drain pipe is connected to the tank. another thing that makes you go HMMM995Views0likes0CommentsRe: Pump issues
like said earlier, check the fill/sanitize/antifreez valves as they could be ou to fproper position. I also one time had pump running without moving water, this was after I was hooked up to city water. Turned it to City water then back and all was fine. Never knew what it was, maybe an air pocket. or somthing. good luck876Views0likes0CommentsRe: What to look for - construction / materials / options
Sorry, I just read the post again. Construction will vary as well, full profile, mid profile etc. The frames, while they are I bean and Tubular, I believe they are obvioulsy made to hold the home that is nbuilt on it. Just try to make sure you get a good insulated one,and again, tap the rv forums to get actual user info as well as the structural process from the manufacture. If you can and are near a manufacture, take a tour of the factory.682Views0likes0CommentsRe: What to look for - construction / materials / options
Well first off, welcome to the forum and there will be just as many opinions as there are units out there. But take them for what they're worth. My suggestion is to go and look at some units, new or used doesn't matter to get some ideas of floor plans and options. Sit on the toilet, lay in the bed, watch tv, and go through all the motions that you would if you were staying in it. That will give you some basics. Look at the GVWR sticker on the unit and make sure you can tow it at it's max determined weight capacity. Narrow it down a little before you get too involved with some extras. Take a pad of paper with you, take lots of notes and write down the do's, dont's, pro's and con's. Consider how you will cmap will be a big part as well, hook up facilities all the time, dry camp, etc. In addition, where you plan on goinng some times has limitations on size. so in short. Go to an RV show, selling lots, etc and get some good info. Then go home and poke around on the internet and look at floor plans, weights, capacities, lenghts etc. Please for the sake of yourself, DON'T LET SOME SALES PERSON SELL YOU A BILL OF GOODS!!! ESPECIALLY THOSE THAT SAY, "OH, YOU CAN TOW THAT". Just be careful and if you know someone in your area that is willing to go wiht you and help out a bit, get the help. Reach out to those in and around, they will be happy to help!!!!! Here on this forum and other forums, manufacture specific forums too. These forums will also give you some good info. For us, we have had bumper pulls and now fifth wheel, we love it and enjoy it. On our second Grand Design forst the 303RLS, now 337RLS, but there are little things that I like that kept me wiht this brand/model. GOOD LUCK !!!!! Enjoy!682Views0likes0CommentsRe: Need 24-36 5th wheels a year-New or quality used...
you might check into some of the "extendd stay" type as they appear to be a longer stay option with plenty of interior space. or like said, small park models would work too. you just have to figure out when and where you will be moving them too and consider that cost as well.830Views0likes0CommentsRe: Extensive Traveling with a 5th Wheel
yeah, yeah and yeah. The steps i don't like due to limitations on getting into the unit in parking areas, especially here at home. I am parked within 3 feet of my house, yep on that side. Overnight at Cracker Barrel etc, sometimes our neighbor is at arms length. Also when boondocking, at times we are a little higher or lower in the front that will impeed the steps. My son in law has them on his trailer and has had the bottom step on the ground. UGH. but to each our own.995Views0likes0Comments
