Re: NJ to Key West in 4 days
Thanks guys for the great responses. We do have a reservation for Boyds in Key West, so good go there. We have an brand new atlas, gps on the rig and our phones. Will get those apps downloaded. No toad. We are renting a car, golf cart or scooter. Haven't decided which yet.477Views0likes0CommentsNJ to Key West in 4 days
We leave for Key West on Thursday, January 26, evening. We were thinking of taking I-95, but I'm seeing lots of posts about 81. Pros/cons? Also, what apps would you put on your phone? This is our first long distance trip with our new Forester. Any tips, tricks or thoughts are welcome!2KViews0likes8CommentsRe: Big Foot Leveling System, flashing light??
Thanks Dave. No one was in there but it does seem confused. We drove it to Walmart and parked where the back was lower than the front. The fronts came down but not the backs. We came home and tried several times on auto and either all 4 came down but the rear tires lifted or when we retracted, put boards under the tires and did it again, only the rears came down. It was only slightly unlevel so we manually put the fronts down and got it all leveled up. We will call them tomorrow. I tried today and they are only open during the week and had emergency numbers but this was not an emergency, although it felt like one to me! I just hate not feeling comfortable and "knowing or understanding" how something works. I guess we'll learn it one way or another. Hopefully with no costly mistakes.221Views0likes0CommentsBig Foot Leveling System, flashing light??
I have used the search feature and just can't find the right answer. We just picked up our 2016 Forester 3051. We have had it two nights. We got the levelers down the first night, had to put some wood under the tires so they didn't come off the ground. Its in our driveway which is pretty level but slightly sloped to the rear for water drainage. We took a ride yesterday, came home and thought we leveled it. Woke up this morning and realized that none of the stabilizers were down. We tried to do the automatic and the back two come down and then nothing with the front two. The green light in the center is on and then left and right are flashing. Our bubble level is pretty close, off maybe a quarter inch. Any suggestions? Are the fronts supposed to come down even if its level without them? I can't find anything in the little tiny brochure they gave us. So overwhelmed right now.978Views0likes2CommentsForester 3011DS questions
We have narrowed our search down and are leaning towards this model. We have a couple (lol) of questions and appreciate any insight. For anyone who has this model or the Sunseeker sibling, how do you like it? Are you happy with it? What features do you love and what do you not like so much? Would you get the U-dinette or regular? I am used to the day/night shades, how do you like the pull-downs? 4 door fridge with the icemaker or regular size? Where to purchase? Has anyone used one of the internet companies that seem to be about $10,000 less than our "local" dealer? We are thinking we want the option of the swivel chairs. Any reason not to get them? Any other options we should consider or leave out? I am open to all thoughts, suggestions, ideas. I have already gotten such an education from this site. Thanks so much.1.6KViews0likes4Comments
