Do you remember how much the slide tray option was?
It was $80. Pretty cheap considering. I will note that it doesn’t have glides, so you can’t have too much weight in there and fully extend. I take things out as I pull it out the door.

I’m taking the back panel off in the pass-through when we return from our next trip. I’m the curious type and interested in seeing what’s behind all that space. For tongue weight considerations I can’t go crazy on finding too much storage space.

Thought it had glides. Hmmm... Do you think 2 would fit side by side? $80 is very reasonable. Thanks for the info.

Two would not fit in my opening. Just shy. The base is 15.5” wide and the drawer is 15”. To clarify that it has no glides, it’s a pretty lose “dovetail”.

Picked up a pair of valve stem TPMS monitor caps. Put one on my TT spare and one on my TV spare. Turns out the internal TST monitors and the external cap monitors play well together with the TST 507 system.

Really thought that this post would bring a flurry of interest! Nothing?

Don't get discouraged Johnfort. I think you're bordering on the 'solution in search of a problem' with that. You go ahead and have fun with stuff like that but I've been trailering for a very long time and never needed to use a spare tire so why I would constantly need to monitor it's air pressure is a bit of a mystery. Every time I walk by it I give it a thump and know that I'm good to go.

2511s 2020.5 X scissors

I have a 25 fbls 2020.5 microlite that the wheel distance between wheels is 2.5 inches. I want to purchase an x chocking system to add stability but I can't seem to find one that reduces to 2.5 inches? Does anyone know of a X chock system that works with the 2020.5 microlite 25 fbls which is the same unit as the 2511s? Thanks

I have the Bal 28012 and they work well with my 2021 2511s.

wifiranger Teton power on antenna amplifier

I have a 2021 2511S
In the Teton HD Owners Manual it said
Quote:
Turn TV wall plate to On
Press the power button on the wall plate to the On position
which should turn an LED indicated light on. This also toggles
the Coax connection from the exterior Cable TV to the Teton
HD Over-the-Air antenna.
Refer to wall plate documentation for more information
Does anyone know where the wall plate is, or is it the same button for powering on the wifi?

I get no channels when I scan.

In the 2511s it's behind the TV on the left side of the wall cavity. Pull the TV out 6" or so and it's very accessible.

Question on Portable Table

Question .. the portable table that comes with the 2511s:

What is the length?

If it is in front of the theatre seats, is there room to push it back for reclining and still walk in front?

What alternatives - fold card tables (like our parents had as kids for watching tv haha)? Get a lightweight vinyl table?

We should get our soon (finally) and we're wondering how people manage for eating inside when necessary, etc.

Thoughts? Comments? Thanks .. hoping for delivery in the next three weeks. Apparently it is now complete at the factory and the dealer is waiting for a pickup date. We ordered in February!

Portable table? Is that something new in the 2021? We did not get anything with our 2020. We did get two little sandwich size swing trays that fit in the mount in the arms. We found these to be 'an accident waiting to happen' due to the fact they swing so easy and a hot cup of coffee would/could wind up in your lap. They are in permanent storage until such time as we sell the trailer. We bought two LifeTime 26'' X 18'' folding tables off Amazon. Not cheap but so far have performed well. We store them on the bed when on the go and that works well. At first we put them behind the theatre seats but retrieving them was a problem. If you have arms like a Gorilla you'll be fine, mine are too short. Two seasons in and still loving it, now if the weather would improve we could go camping.

jsk, check out the Haylett RV video. https://youtu.be/_gCKJQurxWM

The theatre seats are completely different from ours. Yes there is a table shown in the walk through which looks to be long enough for both chairs. Nothing else I noticed has changed.

Yea..... you're gonna love it. I think that the "build quality " on my June 2021 unit is very good. Hope that yours is too.

Mine was built June 17th and I drove off the lot July 14th. And that was with a lot of pestering on my part.

I have a 2513s, but same table. I’d have to measure for exact size, but it spans just shy of the theater seat width and about 20” across. It wouldn’t leave a lot of walking room when set up. We frankly haven’t used it yet since we prefer to eat outside. However, it would also make a good outside table for eating or meal prep.
