Went to Yellowstone

I use silicone spray on my door. Works great for me and does not collect dust. With 6 G kids they are in and out alot. Use the straw pull latch like opening door and spran. Hit the door striker plat also. Hope that works for you...

We just left Yellowstone Canyon Village CG and the fridge and furnace seemed to work intermittently. The flame would burn, shut off, restart repeatedly. The fridge was having trouble keeping temp below 45 and it was getting down to 40 at night. Anyone else have that issue. Driving east through Wy. and the fridge is now keeping good temp.

We are in both Cloudcroft NM (8700') and Phoenix AZ (1100') frequently. Don't notice any difference in the generators. If I did, I would not have a problem changing jets, but don't have a reason to.
Why would you replace jets in an Onan when they have an adjustment lever right on them. My thought is that Onan would not spend money on the altitude adjustment knob if it wasn't needed. They would much rather pocket the money. That said, use or don't use - your call!

Never owned an Onan. I wasn't talking about Onan. It is nice that Onans have that feature if you ever need it.

foretg you may want to think about a tent. No one brand is better than another. I have a FS and brother-in-law has a Keystone. Both have issues

Only had our 2014 Coachmen class A for a couple of years. Just turned over 10000 miles on our last trip. Had it in the shop about as much as I’ve used it.

Stayed in Fishing Bridge @ Yellowstone, which is the only one that will take big rigs. Potholes were so bad it felt like we got whiplash pulling in/out. All kinds of stuff got rattled loose, even bottomed out a couple times, which has never happened before. FYI, that camp will be closed all of 2019 for a remodel, so hopefully it gets better.

Did you explain your unhappiness to FR in these exact terms when you spoke to them?

I'm sorry but I can't understand what you mean here. I could really use some help with my door that is hard to open. It drags on the bottom.

Looks like he is saying to use the little hollow straw attached to the lubricant can to direct spray into the latch mechanism while you hold the handle open. Then spray the plate on the door frame as well.

Thanks so much. When in doubt, use WD-40.

We have driven our 2005 Forester Class C around 6,000 miles since January, one trip over 3,000 miles and two 1,000 milers. Knock on wood, not one repair needed so far this year. It's old but solid!

Hey Ralph.....

Have you got a 2005 or 2015 Forester?
Your signature says 2015, and if that’s so, your rig is not old....really.

Only been on 2 short trips with 2018 31L5. Both low beam headlights and one marker light out. No dash a/c. Shower drain not going into tank. Draining in bin. Repaired by dealer but left leak under shower inside which I fixed. Slide not retracting fully. Repaired. Entrance door striker plate fell off. Shower door leaking where sitting on base. Front falls off of L shaped couch pullout. City water filling fresh tank. Water pump not shutting off when using fresh tank. A/C control knob broke off in my hand. Other than that it’s been a real dream! We did have two great weeks in Lake George and are looking forward to our next trip. Dealer and Forest River have been good at resolving problems.
