    Greetings Happy Campers,

    I recently heard of a known problem of oxidation taking place on the front cap of 2014 and 2015 Crusaders. The next thing I know, it's happening to mine. My beautiful shine is gone.
    Before taking delivery of this rig in March of 2015, we had a special supper duper "resistall" wax procedure done at the dealership. Directions say that I must not wax mine for 5 years.

    A buddy of mine who has a 2014 and waxes his own rig has the same problem.

    Anyone else having this issue and have you had any contact or luck having it addressed by your dealer or Forest River?

    Thanks for the info,
    Mike

    Sorry, I haven't been able to figure out how to add a photo to this post, I was able to upload a pic in photos, I believe through my profile...rookie !!!

    Happy New Year to all you Happy Campers !!!
    For winterizing discussion, I have a 325 Crusader 5th wheel.
    My question is after properly winterizing the RV, is there a reason to leave the Hot Water Tank Drain Plug "OUT" for the winter during outside storage in Michigan ?
    I've been told the Drain Plug MUST BE LEFT OUT during winter storage.
    I haven't yet, not sure why I should, I even used compressed air to chase all the water out.
    But if it's suggested to do so, would simply popping the pressure relief valve serve the same purpose?
    Thank you much, and Happy Camping,
    Mike
