30HFS5 roll call

Wondering how many owners there are on the site?


Any issues you have had?

Myself, the dealer has replaced the awning light as it was real wavy and not flat along the trailer side. Wire to the rear loading light was pinched and shorting out.

Still happy with mine.

Picked mine up on 7/19 (after 17 weeks of waiting,) dry camped one weekend, then did a CG for a week, and its now back at the dealer getting some warranty issues addressed. So far, DW and I are digging it, big time.

Have a 30 hfs, been out 3 times and wish I had a 2nd grey tank. Black water tank wash doesn't work. Minor details for the versatility of this unit. A+++ in my books. First time out garage was used to haul golf cart , 2nd time out the room served as a bedroom for my guest ( 2 adults, 2 kids), third trip it was turned into a dinning room for my wife and I , Heeellooo!!!!!!

No thread is ever dead around here! Welcome to the 30HFS-5 family of orphans and abandoned children.

Do you add bleach to your fresh tank when "summarizing" if so how?

We used the Camco Winterize Pump to inject the fresh water treatment (bleach) into the fresh tank.

We first attempted to use gravity, but that did not work.

The other way is to pour the bleach in the hose then hook up and finish filling the tank. That is what I have done.

How to winterize with antifreeze? After turning the valves correctly I assumed the spare hose under sink was mentioned to put in the antifreeze jug then slurp up when the pump is on... Well it's not working?

Did you turn the valve? If you don’t flip the valve to draw from the jug hose instead of the freshwater tank hose, it won’t suck antifreeze from the jug.

As for the bleach injection I just pour a cup of bleach into my in-line water filter (I remove the element,) and it goes right in.
