Mods to 377 RLBH?

[Magnolia Tom]

Yes, I plan to use a pole or attach it to my flagpole on the ladder. No plans to get a cellular booster (yet)

[Dskyward]

Both units are a must if you’re on the road a lot, and really a great thing to have anytime as connectivity is always a crapshoot with each campground. I got the WiFi booster first and at first, I wasn’t really seeing much difference at the first few campgrounds. WiFi Signals can vary so much at different times, that I found as time went by, it certainly made the difference to nothing inside the rig to something, and from trickle to oh goodie!

We’ve just found out why we were especially getting the rotten egg smell in the kitchen after two days at each new campsite. We just kept it open with FHU sites. The culprit- the anti siphon trap vent device (ASTVD) or according to the box stores, an in-line cheater vent. Before I removed it, it looks like this

Notice the rubber O ring was half on.

Then removed, it looked like this



Anyone else’s in their 377 for that matter having this issue? They are $4 on Amazon or $6 at Lowe’s.

Then dernit, as I was writing this, the DW screamed the kitchen faucet snapped off its hose! A 2 for 1 Show today.

Bandaid for now.

Looks like it’s time for the residential faucet upgrade, Darin. [emoji3]

Have the same crap faucet. It's a Moen if memory serves. I have to tighten the set screw once a week. I'd put locktite on it but then sure enough I'd want it off and wouldn't be able to loosen it.

Unless they changed specs on the 2017 and newer models, I do not believe that’s a moen faucet. I think it’s a knockoff brand.

Think you're right. I need to swap it out before winter travel time.

Dose anyone know if your 377 springs are in top or bottom hole. Mine are on top hole and this is after 400 mile trip.

Mine are on the bottom hole

Yes, the DW said she now gets one. I knew it was only a matter of time. We’ll stick with brushed nickel theme. However, if we can wait til Jul 30, we bring it into Jayco for our last warranty fixes. I’ve 26 items this round. They may give us a new one maybe, and then sell that off onto another 377 owner who is past warranty? Our cc is way over this month, again.

Oh and BTW, there is a 2017 377 parked two spaces down from us at Michigan City Campground Indiana. Has FL plates on a F350 dually. Who could it be...? We’ve not knocked on the door yet. Ha.

Thanks Tom. Mine are on top hole and I set at 13'4" Looks like bottom hole would be 2" higher which would be max height. Do you know what your height is.

Well darn again! So sorry to hear that. We’ve been full time in 26 months now and a little plastic round retain clip inside finally cracked off. Yours has a set screw?

Set screw holds the handle on the top of the shaft. Right now it's a wobbly drunken tap handle again. Soon to be in the garbage can.

This afternoon, arriving at our new campsite in MI City IN, I just cut into my left index knuckle pretty good on that exact metal sheet edge that staples are coming out of. But no, mine does not have tire scrape. I’ll check later to see what holes mine at in.

I actually haven’t measured the height of the trailer but going by what your measurements are, mine has to be at least 13-6

Ok, here are some pictures I found in my North Point photo library, plus some more I took just now. Looks like there are only two holes, front n back and the upper hole is used both front and back. Notice my leaf springs are below the axle as opposed to the 2016 models that came with a 10” I-beam vs a 12” on the 2017 line. So with this, Lippert added 3” spacers to offset the axle diameter and the rig keeps its 13’4” height (w/master ac). It certainly confused me at first when I started comparing ‘16s and ‘17s 377s.



These pics are with unit leveled. Yesterday, I thought I was being smart to put on my vinyl wheel covers before the slides were extended. Sliced my knuckle on the loose sheet metal you see above. Not much spacing between tire and plastic fender trim. I’ll try extending a couple inches first. Maybe that’s the trick?

[Cannon]

Thanks Dskyward that's a lot of good info. Mines a 2017 and same setup as pictures.

[Dskyward]

You’re quite welcome. So I’m wondering what has given on yours to make your tires scrape? You still have factory shackles and nylon bushings or have you upgraded to the Moryde wet bolt system?

Don’t see a setscrew anywhere on the wand handle. There was only that small round black plastic button (and part of the molded plastic insert)about an inch and a half from bottom of the wand handle when depressed would separate the wand from the hose. That’s what broke off.
