I may wind up doing that. I sent some pictures to FR last week (Kevin Stratton), but haven't heard back yet. The initial reply did leave the door open that they might pay at least in part.

Blisters again

A few years ago, there was a lot of talk on the Forum about blistering hydraulic hoses. Mine blistered, and were replaced on my 2 1/2-year-old Georgetown with new orange hoses in July of 2013, which...

You're right, I can't eliminate the awning. I'll have to ask someone to watch it while I bring the slide in. Thanks.

Levelling jack slips down gradually

This has been happening for some time, but I have generally ignored it, since it hasn't affected the operation of the jacks, or the ability to level, and I have been able to retract it every few...

Thanks, pmsherman, that could very well be the problem. My RV isn't level while in storage. I could try to level it and try the slide then.

Slide "bangs" when brought in

I have a 2011 Georgetown 280DS. The slides work fine but, when I bring the living room slide in, I get a "bang" when it is all the way in. It almost sounds like the slide isn't stopping correctly,...

Need information and/or recommendation

I just moved from Colorado to Pennsylvania with my 2011 Georgetown. If any of you have a Forest River RV and live in the Philly/SE PA area, who do you use and recommend for RV repairs?

Good point, Ron, but the problem has never occurred when I have used the battery disconnect, but not everything is disconnected by the switch, which is why there is a drain even when using it. This...

Brian, I feel just the opposite. I now wish I had stayed with the curtains or manual shades. My old Winnie was so simple: no shades, no levelers, no slides, etc. The more gadgets they stick on these...

Thanks for the info. If I had known the shade could be reprogrammed, I wouldn't have broken it trying to pull it down. Has this ever happened to anyone else?

This sounds a lot like the issue I have with my Georgetown 280DS. The bottom panel of the slide is being grooved and even slit. Is this what is happening to your RV? What has FR said about it?
