Put it in the bay next to the batteries, otherwise you'll spend a fortune on cables for it.

I bought the FR3 in October and parked it for the winter. Still lots, and lots of snow here in Northern Ontario (Canada). With all the issues posted on the forum, I wonder what
kind of problems I will be facing...sort of getting anxious.

I put in my inverter, but noticed the ground prong wasn't grounded. I found that it was missing on the inverter. I returned it and got a new one. The New one was the same. Does anyone know why a manufacturer would choose not ground a ground pin? Otherwise it works fine. A GFCI/GFI won't be able to function without the ground, however.

One of my concerns with my FR3 is the risk of critters coming in where the electrical/cable comes in. (the 5"screw cap) I made this mod for the electrical/cable opening.
I took the cap from the low point drain opening (since the door covers it anyway) and cut it as shown in the comparison below
It looks like an Angel to me.
And in use it looks like this.
I still have the uncut cap for when I'm driving.
I want to do one like it for the water hookup next!

You should have a manual, which I misplaced, so I found it on line. It's put out by Lippert Components Inc. (Electronic Leveling Plus). I found two different manuals with instructions for use and installation. I'll see if I can find the links (at a campsite right now).

I did not get a manual for the power front blind or the power jacks. When I needed to re calibrate the front blind I looked up the owners manual.

Other than being a PITA when trying to winterize, no, it doesnt. Well, I guess you could count aesthetics, but I prefer function over form.

I got tired of fumbling in the dark on the power side of the back bay, so I rectified that tonight.
Soldered the power wire to the existing switch on the existing light. Ran power and ground across. I was going to put one in the middle, but its almost impossible to get far enough into the bay to mount the light.
Much easier to see whats hanging out around the power cord now.
We will be at VIR next week. I set my new diff up tonight. Hope it doesnt explode like the last one.

Has anyone with the FR3 had any luck installing a tornado flush kit on their black water tank? I bought the kit but I am having difficulty getting access to the back side of the black tank to install the spinning head of the flush kit. Any help would be awesome!!

I'm concerned about putting in the tank washer because I'm having difficulty getting to the tank and the tanks also have tank heaters that I don't want to damage.

Tank heaters are on the outside bottom and are not even remotely in the area of a tank washer which is mounted in the side of the tank.
