Thanks Jim! Your explanation and my other research led me to a 14-50R at Lowes for $14 and I replaced the 14-30R myself. I tested with my multimeter before and after and everything is good on the new...

10-30R or 14-30R to TT-30R Adapter???

Hi All,

I was trying to get an electrical setup at my daughter's house, which had a 50 AMP welder receptacle in place. We asked my son-in-law's brother-in-law (supposedly an electrician) to swap...

No red flags

We’ve got a 2021 2401B and all of your points are correct. Rides nice, gets better fuel mileage (but cost of diesel probably makes it a wash), tows our Jeep Wrangler with no problem, etc. We’ve had...

Shouldn't you be able to use both???

We have the same unit - 2021 MBS2401B - and we only have the Firefly, no separate thermostat. But either way, it would seem you should be able to use both. We have the Equalizer system that can be...

Did you try Forest River RA - free for one year ? They probably cycle through the same towing companies but you’d think they might have better luck as an RV specific roadside assistance. If you’re...

You might want to run the furnace for a couple of hours in the driveway before you get it out on the road. The initial smell from ours was making me dizzy and setting off the CO alarm. It needed a...

Firefly update

Lots of back and forth with Firefly the past few months when I had time. Upgraded firmware, swapped in a new mira box, and in the end it was the two feet of orange wire between the panel and the Mira...

Our 2021 MBS came with it installed, and I second Go UK's thoughts. Very convenient to say the least. Of course, it does cut into an already low CCC, but that's a problem with everything you add on...
