Thanks. DH has watched those videos. He said they stop short of telling you what's wrong or how to fix it.

Is there a way to put the slide out manually?

Schwintek slide won't go out in 2015 3171DS

The bunkhouse slide in our 3171 will not go out. When we press the slide out switch inside the coach, the slide out moves very little, maybe an inch or so. It moves on both sides. It seems like the...

Last weekend, our a/c went out on our 2016 3171DS. It ran for a few minutes on shore power at the campground and then just stopped. It tripped the circuit breaker on the 20 amp line. We reset that...

Red face How are you checking the clearance lights?

I'd like to check the clearance lights on our 3171, but I am wondering what is the best way? Lay on the roof? Stand on the hood? Use a ladder off to the side?

Thanks!

Sagecoachdriver,

Is the grey stuff just paint or is that caulk? On my MH, the gray stuff at the roof seam is as thin as a plastic bag in some places.

We climbed on the roof and checked our 2016 3171 today and it looks okay. We will probably Eternabond the seam out of an abundance of caution, though. I bought the 4-inch tape and some Dicor from...

Thanks, shooter2. We were in driving rain last weekend up in the mountains. We'll pull our 3171 out of its storage unit and get on the roof this weekend to check out that area.

I heard back from Forest River. It is their issue, not Ford's. We are trying to find a place other than Camping World to fix it.

DH fixed the water heater issue, something that Camping World was unable to do. He replaced the thermostat and the ECO in March. (Atwood sent us new ones.). Two happy months of hot water!
