New to the forum

Hello everyone. We just recently got back into RV’ing. Not new to fifth wheels. But been out of the game for a while. We purchased a 2015 Forest River Revelation this year and are enjoying it. I’m happy to have found a source of information for the upkeep on my unit.

I am not one to take my stuff to be repaired. I am an emergency vehicle technician so I am used to having to “figure out” how to repair all different kinds of electrical and other problems

Hi and Welcome to FRF.
Be sure to check out the Reflection sub-forum, in the Motorhome section.

I see a lot of Reflection’s out there. Never seen another Revelation. Are they comparable?

Oops! I've never heard of Revelation so I thought the OP meant the Reflection motorhome.
I see that Palomino, not Forest River, makes a Revelation 5th wheel Toyhauler. So their trailer brand is Palomino. I think Palomino only made that brand for a couple of years.
And since there isn't a Revelation sub-forum, then they should check out the General Toyhauler Topics section.

Forest River is the corporate name. Palomino is an independent division of the corporation. FR Inc acquired Palomino a couple of decades ago. I have no idea why your title says Sabre. NADA shows only one Revelation model for 2015, the 3650THS:

That was some of the trouble. It is a TH3850. We came to find out it was a split year. It’s a 2016 floor plan built late 2015

We have the same thing. 2016 PrimeTime TracerAir 255 that was a late 2015 build. The 255 model wasn't even listed on the 2016 Tracer brochure or the 2016 lineup because it was discontinued. Had some difficulty getting it insurance.
