Shake down cruise

redcloud1 · 03-09-2015, 03:54 PM

Well we made our first trip today with the new trailer
Pulled real good got 8.5 miles to the gallon, which I figure isn't to bad with the heavier trailer. Sure is a good bit roomier than the other trailer. Love the fireplace and the recliners.

Congrats on your Windjammer, you will love it. I am waiting on the spring thaw. Hoping for MANY more trips this year. Got my new to me Tow vehicle just can't wait. I love my fireplace also, puts out pretty good heat.

Finding a few issues that need fixed. The charging station has no power,and the frame around the fireplace place is missing a clip that holds it in place. At least they are small things.

Clewis, how do you get the table extention to slide out.?

CLewis · 03-10-2015, 08:15 AM

We haven't used it yet. We just got the RV in October and living in NJ it's been snowed in. Guess I will have to check it out. Glad you only have a few minor things to fix. Our last 2 (not Forest River) RV's were horrible - major problems. So far we've used our Windjammer on 5 different campouts and everything has been great. Lets hope all the pipes are fine - we've had such cold weather in February.

I hear that about the pipes, the dealer did put antifreeze in our pipes cuz they probably did a pressure test on it. we've been running the fireplace and everytime we turn the microwave on it trips the breaker on the fireplace so I guess I have to get that checked out.

We haven't had that problem. We ran our fireplace the whole time in the fall and I think used the microwave at the same time. We have a 50amp service do you??

No we have a 30 amp service and I just spoke to our dealer and he says there's a transfer switch on the fireplace and that you can't run the microwave and the fireplace at the same time. I guess that's what the transfer switch is for it will switch back and forth between the fireplace and the microwave

CLewis · 03-10-2015, 10:08 AM

Oh, I guess we have the 50Amp because we have 2 Air Conditioners. Also thanks for the info. on the table.
