Brother Les I have been thinking about this stabilizing issue for awhile with my 312qbud. I was leaning towards adding the jt strongarms to my electric stabilizers, but your idea might be the better route.

Thanks for sharing

I've been kicking around ideas a while but I haven't pulled the trigger yet.

BrotherLes... If you get some time take some pictures please and pm them and I can host/upload them. I have the sister TT, Vibe 308BHS so it should be similar.

This is going to be added to my winter mod list.

One of my biggest concerns was all of that front weight of the unit, plus people and cargo on the tongue jack. Knowing that the 'stabilizers' are not made to hold very much weight at all, I wanted a better 'foundation'. I added a pair of scissor jacks the first year that we had the unit to support the front. Laying under the unit and looking for a good placement area, I knew that that mounting them permanently, I would have issues with the low hanging skirting. I bought a pair of SaveAJack.com .
These I bolted (not screwed) onto the frame rail in a location back from the front stabilizers. As said before, the door side of the frame rail has the gas line running next to it and so I offset the plate (Sav-a-jac plate) that is bolted to the top of scissor jack so the scissor jack does not slide under or close to the gas line. I use only the two scissor jacks in the front of the unit for two years before I install the back scissor jacks just this year. With the two scissor jack in the front, it is night and day difference in stability. Add the large X choke and it is better. The back jacks were no priority at all to me, because my main focus was the front, weight and movement issues. When I added the back scissor jacks (as said in my last post) this just finished out the full support of the unit.

The electric 'stabilizer' in my view point are a waste in so many areas and these units should come standard with scissor jacks.

I'm planning on changing my service from 30 to 50 amp. Will someone who has the 50 amp service tell me what model WFCO distribution panel is in their 312QBUD? I'm thinking this is the right one but I'm not sure.

Any suggestions for upgrading the dometic AC unit? Looking for something quieter and maybe a bit more powerful. Not ready to do a second AC yet.

There is a company that makes them. If i can find the link i will post it

Don't forget that you will need a furrion 50amp power cord as well.

Camping world has them for $225

So my camping neighbor ha a Palomino Solaire. The outside kitchen barbecue has a sweet wind guard behind the barbecue.

Has anyone seen anything like this for our units?

jgourlie · 08-24-2016, 04:13 PM

Hey Guys!!!

I need some help. I melted the casing around 1 of the prongs on my power cable so I called Furrion and they are sending me a new power cord. I don't have my cord with me as my trailer is parked at our seasonal spot an hour away.

Does anybody know how long our 30 amp power cable's are?? or if you might have the model number on the tag on your cable still?

I am guessing 30ft now, but I told furrion 25ft so I don't want to mess myself over.

Any help is appreciated,

73JER · 08-24-2016, 05:16 PM

36 ft.

73JER · 08-24-2016, 05:18 PM

This is mine.

I have updates on some of our common issues after taking my unit in for warranty repairs. First, the bowed outside kitchen hatch: will be replaced, had to order it. Replaced stereo to get outside speakers working again. Leak on starboard wall was fixed by adding silicone around outside receptacle and cable jack. Blinds that wouldn't stay up will be replaced (also on order). I have to take it back in to get the ordered parts installed as well as get the rest of the worklist completed, but I feel that FR is doing well so far.

Thanks for the update...I am still waiting for my Kitchen door to be replaced, Forest River sent a Damaged replacement door so I missed my repair appointment this past monday. I am not too worried about it as it keeps me out camping rather than in the shop.

Only about a month left of camping season here anyways so I will book it into the shop for October and then put the trailer away for the winter after the work is done.

This camping season went by quick

Salem312 · 08-29-2016, 06:08 AM

I'm going out for Labor Day weekend, then only have one more trip planned toward end of October so I'll probably put mine back in the shop around first of November. Down here in the south we pretty much camp year-round!
