Interesting- this was actually our first few trips where we kept the bathroom vent open the whole time and the fan on intermittently to help dry towels. I never put the two together.

We were in PA and it was relatively light humidity. The humidity got worse as the weekend went on, but didn't get oppressive until Sunday as we were packing up. Heck, I jumped in the pool before we left to wash away some of the funk...

I too use a spray lube on the seals and one on the mechanisms. I've yet to do it on this unit, but perhaps I'll do it while we're out.

On another note, who has had the table base screws come out of the floor in the bunkhouse. Last weekend we had it happen, and all week I couldn't remember to ask on here, until now, now that we're back at the campground.

We've not really used them either. Last weekend, the kids had lots of company, then I noticed 2 screws on the counter.....wife says she picked them up but didn't know where they came from......

I heard someone else had the screws back out/strip, I know they went with longer screws, I was just trying to see how much bigger/longer.

We had the same issue the first night we stayed in our trailer. I thought we were gonna go crazy with the cycling. We talked to my dad the next day and he said that if you have 2 ac units in an RV you need to keep them a few degrees apart. We did that and the cycling problem went away. Hope that helps

Good point. Forgot that I did that after a couple days out. It did seem to help.

Mine don't have the sticker on it.

Well if the bike rack can handle that, that means the rear of the frame can handle 450lbs. So if you were to install a swivel wheel cargo carrier you could have a max tongue weight of 450 lbs.

I believe sabre sam suggested awhile back that the frame warranty would absolutely be void if there was some towed behind a sabre.

Same as your camper warranty.
One year unless you bought the extra year then 2 years.

Maiden trip went great!! No problems at all. Need to verify the cable tv works but will do that at home. Campground had very bad signal. DH was happy with he towing and parking and set up was much easier than TT.

We have a real problem with getting the camper in our driveway. Very narrow street so backing in is tough. Took 2 hours to get it in the spot next to the house. Need a better plan or a storage place to keep it. Any suggestions?

It gets better. My first time parking at the storage yard to 50 minutes for what should have been an easy park job! We're down to 5 minutes...

Yep... Lots of practice. Before you know it you will be backing it in like a pro.

Well LaydBack, here we are 4 months later with some adjustments. Air Lift Bags and raised the pin box one hole. Handled good, some side gusts were noticed but very manageable. We traveled 550 miles in 94 degree air temp and 135 degree road temps and there were no noticeable difference in temp between front axle and rear axle tire temps. This set-up is as good as it gets, I have one more hole to raise pin box. BTW, the distance between top of bed rail and under the nose is still good at 7 ". Oh, and the other 'issue' I had before with the capture plate bolt breaking.....didn't, so I guess that make's this set-up a little more 'happy'.
