Sanibel owners

Not sure what manufacturer it is. I was told these were just changed. The rear cushions are in the middle of the bed with gaps all over. I wish they still had the Lane furniture.

Your Anderson Water Valve may be defective as was mine. Mine did the same thing. When hooked up to city water the tank would overfill or when turned to tank fill nothing happened. Very likely your problem.

tlamb6463, any updates? Your experience makes me pause about buying a Sanibel!!

[oldgreymayor]

Not at all. My 3601 has more storage than anything I've been in. Every Rv has some issues. When we get back to Rapid City the dealer will replace the check valve. I really like the 3601. The tv hookup in the basement is great. I put a 32 inch tv on the wall mount and watched all winter here in Mesa.

Hi, did you ever get this flex issue corrected? We have a 2015 still under two year warranty until July. I just noticed we're developing suppurations there now also.

I think you want to ask tlamb6463 if he got it taken care of. It was his issue I was addressing. I hope PT did something for him. He hasn't been on here in a year.

We purchased our unit in 2014. THey are beautiful, but unfortunatly, we have had to have most of the unit rebuilt over the course of the last two years. I won't go into details because they are too numerous, not to mention the sadness of such an expensive lemon.
Prime Time stood by the warranty work and extended the warranty for another 6 months pending review again when those months were up, and threw in a free TV. Tv wasn't a repair issue. . Those months were up in Feb. WHen I contacted them, I was told it would be reviewed by at least 3 people and someone would get back to me. I've contacted them a couple of times and get no response at all. Sadly the fixing goes on.
Hopefully you will have a better trailer than what we got.

What makes you think the thermostat quit working? Did it go completely blank or does it show an error code (E1,2 etc)?

[Brand2328]

I believe it is the thermostat because in the beginning it was going on and off every couple of seconds and I did the reset of the stat and it seem to work for a little while. Then it shut down completely, No light in the thermostat and pushing any buttons does no good. Have not checked for a power loss at the thermostat but check all fuses and breakers and everything is hot.

Try killing the 12v power to the thermostat by either pulling the fuse, disconnect the battery or unplugging the stat from the back (it's a modular plug). Then reconnect power and see it comes back on line.

I will give it a try, thanks I'll let you know the results.

[Brand2328]

Unfortunately it didn't help. I've checked fuses all are good. Hopefully turns out to be the thermostat. Will advise once repair is completed dealer is scheduled next week

Has everybody noticed the linoleum wrinkling in the corner of the slide with the fridge. I know that's the heavy corner and whenever ver my slide comes in and then I put it back out it has a major wrinkle in it. It will go down but not completely

Had the same problem with mine and it has been seen in other models as well. Big slides with big refrigerators. On mine, the slide roller under the frig was causing damage to the linoleum as it travelled. Placed a piece of hard rubber backed carpet on the spot and further damage was stopped. Prime Time took the camper back for repair and reset the slides and repaired damage. Was also given a fabricated protector to put under the frig roller. Very happy with repairs and slides work great. Not sure I need the extra piece but I use it.

[Brand2328]

Thanks will pass on to my dealer

[Brand2328]

What is the fabricated protector made from plastic metal

[si camper]

Hard plastic. Approx 6" wide by 3' long

Sent from my XT1650 using Forest River Forums mobile app

[Brand2328]

Thanks I assume it's not real thick because the rollers have to climb up on it. Do you stand on it in the beginning of closing the slide?
