I do love my 2014 21FBRS. My prior TT was a Sunline 21. The FR construction is better, using top of the line products. Till you look under the trailer.....there is no liner. I can see all my wiring and plumbing. The bottom is open to animals, rodents and more important the cold. Zero insulation under the trailer. I wonder if anyone has installed an underliner?

We almost bought one here recently and it was all covered underneath. That's odd.

Hi - I posted a question about the bulbs in our 2013 MicroLite 21FBRS and have had no responses, as you are very familiar and have done mods - can I ask if you know what the specs are for the bulbs as we want to go LED for some.

Appreciate it!

I believe your Micro Lite and my Mini Lite 2109S are the same. Just different names and graphics. The OEM non-LED lights in my TT were 921 wedge bulbs. I have replaced all of the interior bulbs with LEDs except the 2 reading lights above the couch. I haven't found a good bulb for the reading lights yet, of course I haven't looked much yet either. If you find reading light LED bulbs let me know. Thanks.

LED TT Lighting

My old Sunline TT did not have LED lighting. My new 21FBRS has spoiled me with the LED lighting.....I am old and I see much better with the LED and most important they do not drain the battery as much. Go to the Good Sam site and click on their shopping tab, type in LED lighting; many many options for you.
Good luck......Bob

Go to the Good Sam web site, click the shopping tab at top, type in "LED lighting" in their search box. Many LED options for you there. Or you can check with your dealer.

For those who have installed the 30" splash guards in their FBRS can you tell me where you got them. We recently purchased the 21FBRS and love it. Would love to put the splash guards in ours too. Thanks in advance.

I'm pretty sure I got mine at Lowes but I wouldn't swear to it.

Shop Magic White Splash Guards at Lowes.com

Glacier Gus,
We're having trouble putting the splash guards in shower. Any tips? Won't stick to the walls

Vpierce, I just installed a smaller splash guard from Amazon. It is only 11" tall but the caulk adhesive did stuck to the shower wall. It was slow to dry and grip but it eventually held. I bought a suction soap dish and found that it would not stick to the shower or bathroom wall. I wonder if there is some kind of coating or oil on the surface.

Gus

Thanks so much! We may try that. We've gotten two different size splash guards and taken them back. We had quite a bit of gap because the walls aren't plumb.

Scott,

There are a bunch of switches there. The one in the lower left corner on my 2014 is the light above the sink. Both switches need to be in the "on" position to work the light.

We purchased a Forest River Surveyor SP189. Is this virtually the same Trailer as the Micro Lite. We are planning a 6 month trip as we do every year. We had a Trailmanor last year and got tired of setting it up and down. Reason for such a small trailer is the amount of mileage we drive annually. Florida to Los Angeles to Michigan and back to Florida. We do this twice per year. Pulling the Trailmanor we average around 15 mpg with the Durango on the highway. Trying to figure out what to expect with the SP189, more wind resistance. The Trailmanor got a bit tight sometimes with me and the wife and two small dogs, but we survived. It extended out to 27ft, but no slide. I think space will be a trade-off with the slide and cabinets that we can fill. Should be an interesting winter. We leave in October and come back in April. Only way we can visit kids and grandkids and spend time with them that I know. We rent out house out to snowbirds while we are on the road. Extra income and I have to leave a house empty. We have 3 rentals and have more problems when they are empty than when rented. Anyway trying to follow post closely to look for suggestions before we leave. Once on the road, I pretty well keep things as is except for repairs. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
