We haven't been camping since this started. Haven't been able to get away from work. If the light is still working on the booster do you still think it might be bad? All connections are good on the back of the wall plate where the circuit board is at.

We even unscrewed it from the plate and checked everything behind the plate and still nothing. We've got to get a service tech to figure it out. It's beyond our abilities and we've checked everything we can get to.
Since Diane won't respond to us after repeated attempts does anyone know of a dealer in central Illinois, we are near Springfield, that you could recommend for the repairs. I'm so disappointed in FR and their lack of support. Why do a handful of people get great service and the rest of us are left hanging? They need to give everyone the same service and honor the warranty they are providing.

I sent you a pm after your previous post about having issues...haven't gotten a response??? So I have reached out to try and offer help, which was before you posted this, but I haven't received a response from you so I can approach Diane with the correct information. Please look at your messages and reply so I can try to help.

If you can hook a cable up from your house to see if it works that way be sure to cut the booster off when doing this.
Also are you connecting your main TV to the connection that says Ant.

I'm still trying to get my TVs to work. I'm attaching a picture of the plate with the power booster. Can anyone tell me what the different wire colors go to?

The FR plant manager said the splitter is behind the microwave. Has anyone pulled the micro out? I don't want to make a mess for myself.

Coax cables: black is antenna feed, white to second set, yellow to cable feed. White and green is +12vdc and ground.. Or should be. Nor sure where the grey goes or why it's not terminated... Possibly it is satellite feed and should be terminated on the vacant coax through the plate connection??
I would remove the black (temp for a test) and with a barrel connector connect to a TV antenna input, run the antenna up, put at a station and see if the antenna is good... then go from there.

Tiled the Kitchen in 27' HFS
What do you think? Before and after attached. It is the plastic-ey type vinyl tile from Home Depot that costs around $5 per 1 square foot. Ordered it online. I am very pleased with it, although the installation was a bit longer than I anticipated.

Vinyl tile in bathroom on 27' HFS
This is the vinyl tile in the bathroom. Still need to figure out the sides but I think it looks cool. I found a little plastic-ey side piece at Home Depot that i can just stick on the sides for a more "polished" look.

Loaded up the toy!
This is our Polaris RZR that we took out recently in our 2014 27'HFS. We towed the toy hauler once unladen - tows beautifully. Second time, we had this in the back, nose-in. BIG difference. Not really sure how much the RZR weighs (we thought 1000#) but it must be heavier. Third time, DH got wise and decided to try it with the RZR backed in so the engine would be at the back (towards the bathroom door). In these things the motor is in the back, make sense? Tows much better with the front of the RZR facing the ramp. We are towing it with our F250 and it's fine - it's just that you can feel that "tug" when she's loaded up. Love, love, love our toyhauler. Still feel giddy when I see it.

Cool AKB. And, they way the garage can haul 2K#. I would imagine that the razor straight in reduced tongue weight so the ratio was below 10%. The only way to know is to weigh the rig.
Are you saying that what looks like tile backsplash is vinyl? Tell me more.
Thanks for the pics. WW

Yes WW I ordered them off of homedepot.com. if you go to the website type in "smart tile" in the search field. You can see all the possibilities. It's a 1x1 peel and stick vinyl tile. Easy peasy.

Yes we are having the same problem with the cabinets. Super annoying to hold it open with one hand while you use the other to grab your goods. We were thinking maybe a tiny magnet on the ceiling that would line up with the handle when pushed up???

A couple of ideas... plus one
This has to be one of the least expsnsive ways to hold a door up. I wish I had seen this before I went with the catches I used. Just Finding Our Way: Just Hold It
You should check out these folks mods on a Casita 5th wheel... nice stuff
I went with this to keep it simple and easy to install, but it requires two hands to lift the door; one to hold the door and the other to swing the catch down. But, it certainly holds the doors well. I bought from another source and the price of a pack of two was about this much... this is just the first one I found just now.
Rounded Baggage Door Catch - White - RV Designer E211 - Compartment and Hatch Hardware - Camping World
Other than the first very inexpensive idea, this next one is much better. https://www.rvupgradestore.com/RV-Ca...-p/31-1474.htm
