Starting this thread in hopes of helping fellow owners of this model share information, ideas or whatever in order to make us happier campers. I'm sure a lot of the information will apply to other models as well.
Mine Rolled off assembly line 2/13 and I took delivery 2/24. Have made five trips so far for a total of 23 days. Have had a few issues. Some I have fixed, some have fixed themselves while the others are waiting for me to stop using long enough to take to dealer for warranty work.
If you have posted previously on another thread please copy to this thread if you feel it would of benefit. I have contacted FR hoping to get a wiring / plumbing schematic but haven't heard anything yet. Another member is working on his own wiring diagram and will share when he finishes tracing wires.
Thanks in advance for your participation.

Thx so much for doing this Gpaw!
I'll start off with a question I have that i am confused about. I have two black tank monitor gauges on my control panel. One is incorporated into the main panel and one is a seperate gauge above the main panel. Anybody know why this is ? picture to follow

You actually have 3 gray tanks. The bathroom and kitchen have there own (i think 30 gal each) and are drained through same pipe as black. The outdoor kitchen sink has an 18 gal tank by itself and is drained from the aft drain pipe. The outdoor kitchen tank monitor is the rectangular box below the main panel.

Thank you! I hadn't considered that the micro monitor guage(rectangular box) was for the outdoor kitchen. I just saw the word waste on it and thought it was for black water bc the ones on the main panel say fresh grey1, grey2 and black. Makes total sense now. I would say another thing that would have been helpful to have in the owners manual instead of a picture of a panel that my unit doesn't
even have.

Interesting. My outdoor kitchen doesn't have a sink. My controls are different than yours too.
I'll have to take some pictures.

Thanks to mkosu04 for this info from another thread
For others who might see this thread..
I found my 2nd fuse panel under my fridge. Look for wood panels with exposed screws... it probably means that it is also an access panel.

This second panel serves your things on the remote control: slide outs, awning, stabilizers, etc. Check it if any of the above quit working. I think there is also a 30 amp main fuse on it. Be sure you carry replacements.

Mine is on the end of the kitchen sink cabinet closest to entry door. A little rocker switch.
I think I misunderstood. I was thinking about the led lights around the sink cabinet. I do not have what you are describing on my 368rlbhk

Ya that's where mine is for the under counter strip light. But what I'm referring to is a led strip light that is inside the trey wood ceiling panel above the island.

Mine doesn't have that.
I found out something interesting yesterday though. Not sure if they are all like this, but on mine, there's an led strip light under the awning. A switch next to the control panel turns it on or off, or the remote turns it on or off. If you turn it on with the remote, you must turn it off with the remote (wall switch does nothing). And I think it might turn on automatically if you extend the awning with the remote (must test).
Wife extended then retracted the awning with the remote and I lost my mind for an hour trying to figure out why I couldn't turn off the led strip (using the wall switch).

I must admit I played with the rocker switch for a little while before I figured it all out as well. Kept thinking I was turning on and off the light in fiddos dog house lol

Another thing I found out is if you are putting in the front bedroom slide while using the rocker switch on the wall instead of remote. You have to have the door open only like 6" and reach in and use the switch. If the door is open all the way when you close the slide, the end of the bed sticks out just enough to keep you from being able to swing the door closed

I have an interesting one, I was under my trailer (368RLBHK) and noticed an LED strip light under the door steps and it ran forward to under the furnace location. I can't figure out how to turn it on. I am thinking it is supposed to be wired to the awning light switch? The trailer is at the dealer for some warranty stuff and they are supposed to check it.
Anyone else have that light strip?

There was a large rock chip in the cap when we took delivery, so that is getting fixed. Also a large scratch in a cabinet that was there when we took delivery. One of the rear tables isn't mounted to the wall correctly and the ceiling fan has a grinding noise when running.
