Fr3 walk through

[Edmo]

So I went to the dealer in zero weather to do a walk through prior to purchase.

Found at least 12 to 15 items of concern. Biggest ones, the cab unit heater did not work and the front bunk bed motor crapped out. Also, found cracked cabinets, ripped vinyl/leather and the bottom of the shower had a gap where water can get in ( design flaw). Other design flaws, the bathroom cabinet handle would slam into the mirror of the door popped open and the other door would strike the hook on the wall.

All in all, the dealer who is a priority dealer is going to address every issue.

Make sure they give you the flexible adapter to manualy do the slides. And the plastic door holders for the fridge.

[Urban_FR3]

what flexible adapter?

[Cigarman]

You should have received two of them. They are used to manually bring in the slide. They attach to a power drill. If I was home I would attach a pic. I have heard of some dealers trying to charge for them saying they are not included.

This is what you should have received. You only need one for both slides. I have already used mine out the middle of no where land!

[Edmo]

Nope,

I did not get those but then again I stopped the walkthrough after I found all of the issues.

Do you happen to know if it states in any of the paperwork that those flex rods were supposed to come with the unit as I am on a complaint roll now.

Thanks

[leisurelarry]

It shows them in the manufactures slide information.

Some people have found then in a drawer in the kitchen area.

Some have also mistakenly thought it was a tool accidentally left inside by a worker at the factory.

Good luck with your second go around.

Mine were in the plastic bag with all the remotes. They should also give you a little bottle of touch up paint.

[Edmo]

I have the bag with all of the paperwork and this is the only tool that was enclosed with a toilet paper holder and a bottle of touch up


Don't even know what it's for

[leisurelarry]

Not the same one I received from the dealer, but it is used for removing the three "real" lug nuts off of your stainless steel wheel simulators so you have access to the actual steel wheels.

Thank you, asking the dealer about those flexi pieces

Don't let them BS you. Those flex extensions are definitely supposed to come with the coach. If they say no, tell them you'll be calling FR to report their lack of knowledge and customer service.

On my Cardinal 5th wheel they were zip tied to the motor for the slide behind the facia.

[Edmo]

Are these the plastic refrigerator door holders that were mentioned in the above post?

[heavynlori]

Ues those are fridge door holders

The T handle is used to remove the fake hub cap nut covers. One cap on each rim is removable. It has dimple on it. The other caps are molded in to the cover. My tire guy laughed at me when I handed it to him. He said it would break easily and instead used a heaven duty pair of channel lock pliers with rubber covers on the jaws.

OMG, so that's what those are for. I asked our salesperson, no clue. I thought they were for some of the square headed screws! Thanks!
