Now the shelf that is below the tv above the fireplace you will have to drill and install a pass through outlet cover. Depending on the fireplace you have you will have to slide the frame of the fireplace up and remove the frame exposing the four screws that mount the electric fireplace. Behind there is a lot of space even for a subwoofer to be hidden. I haven’t figured out how to remove the black panel behind the tv yet so that partition you will have to get creative. I can’t quite remember if you can reach through the furion stereo hole once removed but it’s worth a try.

Thanks for the info, I'll give that a try.

On the previous question about the wall over the stove, it is made of some type of foam, very light and it seems as though it was not fastened correctly when it was first installed, as a lot of the screws were not in the tiny studs behind it. We've been laying it out in the driveway in the full sun with weight on it. It has flattened out almost completely. I will reinstall with some 1/8" paneling behind it to have more attachment points - should work out fine. Better than spending $600 to replace it.

Now that you mention loose,,, my was also! When we bought it I tugged in it and told them at the dealer all they did was screw more wood screws in as the ones that were there completely missed the backing.

Funny thing about this foam brick wall, went to reinstall it and it had grown 2" in each direction. Had to trim the top and side to get it to fit again. Looks ok but not perfect. We'll live with it for a while.

Rear window leaking

Hello all.
My 2017 337BAR had a broken rear blind on the large rear window.
I noticed that while removing it for repair that the interior wall was soft.(oh no!) and when I removed the blind string screw it was very rusty.
I decided to remove the rear window to investigate and my fear was confirmed. The seal on the window was crushed from manufacturer installation and leaking all these years. The seal was a cheap foam seal rather than the butal tape type. The damage was major to the structure and interior paneling.
As I had more camping to do and have carpentry skills I decided to fix it myself.
I’m short always check your window seals carefully.

As I was unable to get my hands on an interior panel, I reinstalled new luan paneling and the wife bought a wall paper close to the original interior walls.

Thanks Blender
It is definitely stronger than originally built.
They use 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 studs which kind of surprised me.

Hello everyone hope you’re doing well and staying safe and healthy out there. I have a general question if anyone can help. I have a 2017 337 BAR and I’ve noticed a softer spot in the floor right in front of the door and in front of the the sink. This has me nervous but have any of you had a similar issue in front of the door?

I mean in front of the entrance door almost directly in front of the microwave. The floor flexes quite a bit. Any one else had this issue?
