First trip

How was the first trip? I remember mine, trying to figure what light switch turned what on, inside and out. You will find that each time you go, you will want to purchase a few things. When I had my travel trailer I didn't have a hose hookup on RV to flush my toilet tank so I got this from Amazon.
Camco 39062 Dual Flush Pro Holding Tank Rinser with Gate Valve.
I still use it to see that the water is clear when back flushing. Also You may want to get extra sewer hose , I was at a camp site last week and the connection in the ground was far. Luckily I had a short extension hose and just made it, SO I'm going to purchase additional 15 ft hose. Anyway hope your first camping trip was a good one. Enjoy!

We've had these 2 same issues. Pretty good leak from the icemaker tubing. Super easy fix once we discovered the issue. I took a longer piece of metal and made a new latch for the front storage door problem.

Same unit as yours. same problems. go figure.

We had the same issue... we installed vent covers with adjustable louvers in the rooms with too much heat... not 100% but much better

Same issue here and did the same thing with the adjustable registers. What really helped the most is I closed off some of the ducting going into the bedroom as well. Cut down on the air flow and pushed it down the line towards the living area. Much more comfortable in the front bedroom. No longer a walk in oven.

I was thinking of doing the same thing. I can't afford (time) for the dealer to have it for months. Our current house was only on the market for 3 days (in Aledo). We will, now, be living in this while we build a new house, on our property in Weatherford. I'm really hoping that nothing else goes wrong while we are living in it...

Vent flow

Dan
The heater box is under the floor in the bed-bath area on the 30rls, Behind the removable wall in the storage comp.The duct hoses are shorter coming out of the box to the bed and bath and much longer to the back end. I believe That's why the force is stronger in the front area . I had a problem with my heater box on my old travel trailer , the main board went bad and had to take it apart to change it,So was able to see how things were put together. It's pretty much the same with the AC I guess , cooler in the rear then the bed room. I would like to get a second AC unit for the bed room before next summer ,prep wiring is there but not much clearance under my carport to back in. Have a few Inches to spare once I disconnect. Since it is still under warranty, you may want to have them check the duct work for blockage.
