Tampa bay got close but not on to our property. End of my street was closed from bay water. We had 20.5 inches of rain in eight days. Everything is soaked with standing water. You will be fine when u get down this way. My house goes on the market next week and we have been looking at Rv parks to stay at untill our place in Mexico Beach is built. Every park says book now but we cannot until we get a contract on our place. U damn snowbirds are making my like tough. Lol. Hopefully I will be one soon to

Rock- you could stay in Keene this winter- then you would know if you got true double pane/insulated windows or not! LOL (and you'd be a real snowbird)

Is there a switch on turn the inverter on? This was not pointed out during our PDI. I assumed it automatically switched on while disconnecting from shore power.

We have same unit started with floor screws pushing thru floor it's been at the factory for over 6 months went last week to find our 4th time there i asked if any one had.checked the slide supports under fridge well they were bent so please check yours ,service writer is not doing good job would like to just leave it there and get my money back they just hope my warranty time runs out I think. We spent winter in Mesa as local dealer told us we only fix what we sell,others gave same answer .two year warranty means nothing

The inverter switch is just under your control panel inside of your door . there is a small green button you push to turn it on

When u heading down this way? Sold my house and I got the last spot in my county for the FW. Damn dealer still has my FW and mover will be here on the 15th Not hopeful to get it back which sucks. My lot rent starts on the 15 and winter rates are not cheap. Might be homeless dealing with Camping World

Mine have not bent yet but I am trying to get the reinforcement done. I do not think it will happen unless they bend. Which is BS cause once they bend the floor dips and slide jams. What is up with the factory that yours has been there six months. I have seen numerous posts that the schedule (could be six months off) but once u drop off it is fixed in a week or two. UN like the two dealers I have dealt with. It is now a year and I have had it for 5 months. Two dealers 7 months. All I know is I will not be homeless when my houses closed. I will at least have a jail cell to stay in

They just don't get it ,was supposed to be finally done last week went there again went over original list,left them with a walk around in and out re wrote 3pages by hand went there this week again no one could find anything ,the items were on my first trip there except the supports which are a lippert thing so Jayco does not do then lippert did not have brks I replied there a simple triangle any one can make ,well they found some, now Iam worried did they damage anything else.its a joke at service desk ,but if they ship it back not done Iam stuck as the Mesa az dealer they do not fix what they do not sell .we bought it to leave there but who knows they should have lemon laws for trailers like cars if they did they would need another parking lot,I ever get a completed work order so I really don't know what is or isn't done you almost need photos to see if it was done as he tells you nothing but he wants you to know ,don't get me wrong some things are done very good.

I am dealing with the same ****. Waited a month for appointment. Brought it in two advisors looked over my 14 items that was given to them and also emailed. Eight weeks later get new advisor totally clueless. Drive out to CW meet shop foreman go over FW. Only two done one half asses. Now he is fired and service manager is looking it my repairs for two weeks now with no response. I will be in jail before I go homeless and pay for a hotel room

Do you guys have a Battery disconnect on your 38fbts. Even though I turn it off there is still power going out to some of the electrical items witch in turn runs your batteries down while in storage . I wondered about just unhooking the ground cables ? or dose the factory just have it hooked up wrong ?

Ya several things are still powered. Easy fix is to go to like napa and get a battery disconnect throw switch. It will go on your negative post that connect your last battery to the FW (if u have two batteries). I will be adding one to mine for a quick total shut down if needed. Had one on my last unit until I got the time to add a boat battery selector switch. Those are the best since you have batt 1, batt2, off and both u can select. That comes in handy if dry camping since u can ensure u always have one good battery

Well they want brakes breakaway and CO detector powered and I am sure some other things. Probably has something to do with liability. On my pontoon boat I have the selector switch and both batteries wired directly to plug into my small solar panel. So like Rv storage boat is totally disconnected and trickle charge thru a controller.

Well I just looked and I have three batteries that are hooked in parallel I cant even get to the rear negative cable without pulling them all out . I traced the ground cable up and it goes up and into the floor somewhere .

Sorry to ask this question but I can't seem to find where it has been discussed before. When we go on short trips and I fill the fresh water tank it takes around 45-50 minutes. I have the valves turned to city fill. I know it is filling the tank because when it fills (finally) the gauge shows full and I have plenty of water.
Is anybody else taking this long to fill or am I missing something? I wish there was a way to see the tank to confirm it is filling.

Mine takes at least 25 mins. It would depend on your incoming hose water pressure too.
Keep filling the tank until the water comes out the overflow hose underneath then you know it is full.

I can fill for 5-10 min when mine says full before it comes out overflow. Gauge readings are off about 1/4 tank
