Thanks!

There's a 15A fuse on the back of the radio, next to all of the wires. Sounds like the hose may be unattached somewhere on the central vac. Both are probably easy to fix and not worth a trip back to the dealer.

It's quite possible there's two fuses behind the radio.
One plugged directly into radio "ato" fuse and an in line glass fuse in the power wire.

Other than then the fuses, I don't have any ideas. You might consider calling the dealer and asking them discuss this with the tech that did the work. He might have ideas of what you can fix based on how he did the install.

This may be a batter spot for my message posted in another thread! Sabresam, can you help me?

Hey All,
New on this forum and new Sabre RV owner! After owning a few tow behinds we finally made the jump to a FW and selected the 2014 Sabre 35QSIK deciding it was the perfect unit for our little family (7month and 4 year old).

I have two questions, I know the 2015's come with LED's under the awning, my next step is to install a set on my 2014, where is the best place to draw power for the cleanest installation possible? Is the power to the power awning a viable option? Otherwise, where would be the best option?

Secondly, my Sabre is the beige/brown color, is there a caulking/silicone code that would work best to color match? I would like to re-do some areas and also, if I have to drill into the FW to get the LED's wired, then I would like to have the proper color to fix everything~

Thanks in advance for the help!

We had the same issue with the central vac when we picked up our 35QSIK, the hose was actually plugged into the exhaust... just remove the panel in the storage area and check it out... real easy to access!

On the lights; on my 34tbok, I simply followed the awning rail down and into the basement for 12v power. I have a 12v plug just inside the basement door and was able to easily tie onto the back of that. I have a few inches of power (speaker) wire showing, but its so close to the awning most people never notice it. I'm trying to get a pic uploaded but my phone isn't playing nice today....on the wall mounted rails, with the awning deployed, there is a plastic trim piece that pops out and then you'll see where the factory ran wires out.

We just purchased a 2010 31REDS is mint condition and we are very happy. Quite an upgrade from our hybrid Shamrock 19...

2 questions on the dinette table and chairs

1- Why is the stain used slightly lighter in shade than the rest of the woodwork ? (seen it in other photos, so it's not just ours)

2. The chair seats do not flip up and thus have no storage areas, yet the brochure mentions it... did Palomino change the design ?

Thanks and best regards.

Dear Owner,
Not sure how you want me to comment on the stain color. You can stain it darker if you'd like.

The flip up chair pads were a newer model year feature.

Thanks

1. My point is that the dinette and chair set, being a lighter shade, look out of place a bit, every other piece of wood in the trailer is the same shade, nice hickory tone, so I thought maybe it was not the original furniture. One would have thought Palomino would have color matched all woodwork. Ah well.

2. The 2010 Sabre brochure (which I have) showed the flip up chair pads as a feature. It's a 2010, so I was hoping I would have them... Another ah well.

Thanks.

You bring up a good point. You purchased a used trailer and the dinette may not be the one we shipped in the original unit.

Enjoy camping and your Sabre.

SabreSam, based on the 2014 brochure, the 35QSIK is to come standard with a 17ft lighted awning, is that correct?

Early 14's did not have a lighted awning.
Vin number dependant.

Thanks Turbs, is there a way to get my vin checked to see if mine applied? I battled with the dealer, they said that only the 2015's had the LED's. Of course by now I installed my own but the dealer is really sucking service wise right now so anything I can put to them I will

Also, just curious, the 35QSIK as per the website comes with a 17ft awning, mine came with a 20ft awning...whats the scoop with that?

[TURBS]

How are you measuring?

Tape measure... width of awning itself, not the arms...

Hmmm doesn't seem right.

My awning is a 17 and actually measures about 16
