Anyone else here with a Vengeance 25V?

Picked it up Friday week and too a quick shakedown cruise to a local state park.

Had long list of things to buy, by the time we got back home.

The first being a power front jack..... Once u get everything in it it gets heavy!

I have the 2015 29v and the 2500lb power jack broke during the inspection. They didn't have a replacement so they put a different brand 3500lb on it. I have noticed that it has started to bend the leg when I don't put the scissor jacks down and use it in my driveway.

With everything you need in the Vengeance, it gets heavy. I did notice that if I put more weight in the cargo area it tows much better. Makes sense since they are designed to tow full dresser bikes.

Don't buy a cheap one!
You can get one online for around $150 but I have heard they fail quite often.
Check out the reviews on Amazon and Campingworld.com
Buy wherever you want but investigate the reviews and get one with a higher rating than you think you need.

On mine there there are two valves, one hot one cold, half way between the hot water heater and the docking station on the drivers side.

Also, if any of you new owners are having trouble getting hot water to come out. You will have to go under the bed and close the bypass valve and open the hot water valve.

They come from the factory in winterized mode.

I somehow missed this on the walk thru.

Actually most new units have three drains. Hot (red), Cold (Blue) low point drains near hot water heater and a freshwater tank drain on the bottom of freshwater tank which usually is located over the axles.

I don't have the 25v but you are looking for a down spout with a gray cap on it. Should only be hand tight.

My fresh water drain is an end cap on a line run under the trailer. Look under near where your water tank is, most likely you will have the same setup. This is different than the 2 low point drain lines.
