You can get from Total RV sales in Elkhart. I was there and they took care of it. It's made by Thor for their coaches. Palazzo. I saw it on one and I was hell bent on getting one for the Legacy. It's called a refrigerator travel latch.

Thanks much, just sent them an inquiry, we'll see what happens next week.

For those interested in the awning cover, I just called Carefree of Colorado. As previously mentioned, the customer service representative knew what I was talking about and answered all my questions. Interestingly, it is cheaper to buy a whole new replacement awning canopy with the uniguard or alumaguard attached than it is to purchase just the uniguard or alumaguard.

That is really interesting.

All I know is that when we bought the coach I told the dealer we wanted the awning cover, makes me wonder now if they replaced the whole darn thing.

I am happy with mine so far.

Dealers may get different pricing. Probably easier to replace whole canopy.

Wow, they are nearly impossible to get in touch with. Several emails and left messages on voice mail. Wow, another great dealer. And they wonder why I hate RV dealers.

Actually finally got ahold of them and my fridge part is on the way. Must be a good dealer to be that busy. A good thing.

DW wanted a couple drawers and some built in spice racks on the second shelf of our Legacy pantry, so I dug through the lumber pile, and a couple of Home Depot soft close drawer slides later we have spice racks and drawers. I stained the front to match, probably do the remainder of the drawers when I have time.

Here is the Thor part number: 0315479. Any RV dealer should be able to take that number to Thor to order the part for you. It is made by L&W Engineering out of Middlebury, ID but it is not sold to the public nor distributed to the public. FR could get this and incorporate into future models. I will let Mitch know about it so that he can pass it along to the design team.

Blacknchromehd · 08-12-2015, 01:26 PM

Thank you for the part number...

Do you have pricing...how are they mounted

DrJAG · 08-23-2015, 07:15 PM

Magneshades were approx $1000 for front and driver/passenger windows. They are held on with magnets, which make getting on and off easy. Website has videos.

We have a 2015 Legacy 340 and both air conditioners are leaking condensation into the motorhome. This happens even on sunny days so I know it is not rain leaking in. Of course the higher the humidity the more they leak, sometimes soaking the rear bed right under the blower. Is this happening to anyone else?

conceptumator · 09-20-2015, 04:17 PM

No problems like that so far, thank goodness. We've gotten 5" of rain here in the lasting two weeks and I've been in and out if the RV getting ready to leave out next Saturday morning, so if it was there, I should have seen it. Only thing I've found was in the front passenger compartment this afternoon. Looks like maybet He top door seal is not up against the door with enough pressure, so I had some water in there. Is your unit sitting level? If not, there's a chance the condensate pan could be holding water instead if channeling it to the drain tube. Also, the leak could be elsewhere and just following the air ducts to where you see it.

psw757 · 09-20-2015, 04:44 PM

Could you possibly be freezing the units up? If your run them non stop at too low of a temp in humid conditions I believe this can happen.

Would seem very odd for both units in two different locations to be leaking from some other issue.

The idea of the condensate pans sounds possible but really shouldn't cause this as when coach isn't level it is designed to spill out on roof which has a slight arch to it and runs down sides to front or back and then over the side of coach.

If level it drips through drain tubes under coach.
