Expecting 30WRLIKS very soon!

Just an open question to the V-Lite owners out there, are you happy with your choice, quality of the build, etc? We cancelled an order for a Hemisphere because of a deployment and the dealership was nice enough to refund us everything so as soon as I got back we went to order again but fell in love with the V-lite instead, dropped an order that day and should be about two weeks or so away from delivery. What issues seem to be brand-wide? I've been lurking here for months studying and making lists, I feel like a stalker that knows everyone, looking forward to being part of the group soon!

I have this model 2015 and love it, the only problem I have had so far is I lost water pressure in the shower over the weekend . Thinking it might be just the shower head. If you will be getting family staying a lot you might not want the dining table. The air bed works great but are very limited on number of guest.

Thanks for the input, it will mostly be just the two of us and the dogs. I've seen a lot of posts on the oxygenics showerhead so that is probably a good option. I wasn't too thrilled with the interiors offered, specifically the creme colored lazy boys, since we have three dogs that go everywhere with us, but that's what throw blankets are for I guess.

We have a 30 wrls wanted the rear living room and big rear window. We got ours used and weren't really happy with the chairs so I found some that would make it through the door and got rid of the old ones. In any form of manufactured home your going to find some thing you don't like that's why they have the mods section in the forum.

Veryhappy with mine except for the range does not exhaust to outside. Going to solve that problem with a Vortex 2 fan upgrade in overhead vent in kitchen.

So far we have enjoyed ours. We had a couple of issues that have been corrected by warranty work. We did find another issue and have not traced down to where exactly the water is leaking from. Looks like the holding tank connection but can not view it due to enclosed underbelly.

Even with the selection you make you may find after buying you missed something you either like or dislike. Never fails. Later RJD

Yogi. Let me know how the vent works out. Mine is the same as it does not have one either. Later RJD

The pantry is basically unusable. It's in the slide and is not insulated. It will maintain a temperature that is roughly the outside temp. Way too hot for storing food in the summer. Near freezing in the winter.
And the cooktop exhaust fan venting right back into the kitchen is ridiculous.
Multiple warranty issues, all resolved, but took about 4 months.

I added a Fantastic fan where the roof vent was to exit the stove heat. Works well. Later RJD

Timex, did you add the fan yourself or did you have a dealer do it? Is power readily available at this location?

I took the inside garnish off(4 screws).

There were all kind of wires running through the area.

From advice from FRF, the white and the white/red wire was where I was going to get power.

Clipped and skinned the wire back.

Hooked my meter up to each wire to determine +/-.

The fan has 2 wires with one wire identified as the +.

Easy install.

Hardest part was climbing up top and scraping all the old caulk off where the old vent was.
