I am surprised at their response to you. After waiting forever on hold (90 minutes to move up 2 positions in the queue) the rep couldn't be nicer and was the one who offered a replacement for my...

Squirrels will chew almost anything. They have chewed my propane hoses, garbage can lids, and plastic gas cans. Back in the old days, they would chew telephone cables. Both the plastic and the lead...

I find my gauges work pretty well but I have to flush the tank after dumping. The built in flushers don't work well because they only point in one direction. They don't hit the entire tank. I have...

I hope this is the same for a 2015 Wildwood. The D seal on mine went and it looks like they glued it to the wiper piece. I hope I can get them apart or I will have to replace both pieces. You tube...
