Best part is most units share the same equipment just the units are different. If you have a unit question, say what unit you have and get plenty of answers. If equipment problem/question, all will answer with info.

Which part of forum should I post in to ask questions specific to my unit

For example, there are no tv mounts, and walls aren’t marked for locations. The dealer actually suggested buying mounts at Walmart. However upon looking for studs, it appears there may be a small plate in walll? How thick are sidewalks of trailer? What types of bolts and are there specific mounts needed for my trailer? Should tv be 12 volt or 120? No need to answers here, just some examples of a bunch of questions arising from one items such as TVs.

Go up to the top (folders) and click on Forest River Forums.

Scroll down to your type of rv. Then select your brand of rv.

Posting there will hopefully get you the answers you seek. If not, you can always post in one of the other general forums.
