I have a DM2652 in a 2014 Flagstaff. I have never seen anything drain out of the hose. We live in a dry climate and I've never seen any condensation inside or out.

They did close Rocky Mountain National Park on the 20th at the request of local health departments. Estes Park will take a hit.

Stay Safe

It wouldn't hurt my feelings if they closed the National Parks. The parks can operate in a safer manor, like limiting group events, but that does nothing for the towns close to the parks. We live...

I installed the 310 in our 2014 FBRS. No problems. I had 10" at the floor, but that was a 2x2 wire chase on the floor. At the height of the top of the bowl, there was plenty of room.

Pre-owned Silverado

We towed our 21FBRS with a Sierra 1500 until a trip up I-25 through Wyoming. Upon returning, we found a 10-year old Silverado 2500HD with a CCW of 3300LBs. Have taken several long trips since...

Mine stopped coming for almost two months and then mysteriously started back up again. I did nothing to intervene.

06 Silverado 2500 HD 6.0

We bought this one used for cash in 2016 with 212,000 miles on it. I've trusted the brand enough to do that. We have 238,000 miles on it now and I've had to replace the AC idler pulley and then a...

Front hitch

I have a Curt on my '95 GMC Sierra used for a Meyer Home plow. It holds up well considering the extreme forces it goes through. Also I don't have to wait for a plow service to show up.

X2. Coiled up is half a transformer. The higher the current flow, the more heat produced.

Daily use

I use my TV as a daily driver, but since I'm retired the daily trips are usually less than 20 miles. Some days it will not get driven at all. I can tell from the voltmeter that it does not get a full...

I read it as the main breaker is off and the furnace circuit was disconnected from the panel and then pigtailed to the camper power. That would work.

Gusts have been strong enough to make my truck do the shimmy. One year it broke the back window out of the truck cap. With the nose of the TT slightly down, it weathers the wind quite well. We...

Down and in

Since the winter usually brings 30 to 40 mph sustained winds, I leave the stabilizers down. Last year's peak was 77 mph. I always store with the slide in because I've been under there when it's out...

Bought our 21FBRS in 2014. Only issue was I had to beef up the fw tank supports. Dealer was 800 miles away, so $28 worth of steel and a couple of hours of work took care of it. We now are good to go...

Ours (2014) came with one, always use it. After the last trip, glad we used it. Rough roads caused kitchen drawers to open up many times and damaged the supports behind drawers. At least the...

There are a few on Amazon, but are pricey if you want a replaceable bulb. The ones that have LEDs built in are cheaper and claim 30000 hour life. Right.
