If you still have the marks use Maguires Ultimate Compound and a damp microfiber cloth. Removes all of the streaks and will not harm the paint.

We bought a 29RKS this spring. Love the floor plan, no issues with things moving around in the cupboards any more than any other trailer we have had. Biggest thing is to open the fridge door slowly...

The valves are used to prevent water from being lost while traveling with full...

Overflow tube size

Does anyone know what the fresh water tank overflow hose diameter is? I want to pick up a valve for it tomorrow and do not have the trailer here at the moment.

Thanks!

The 24RKS had some minor issues, all of which were cosmetic. The fit and finish was not as good as the new 29RKS but it was not that bad either. The main complaint about the 24RKS was the windows not...

I need to remove the entire fixture from the ceiling.

We have the frameless windows in our Whitehawk and don't like them. Not enough air flow. We are thinking of trading next spring for a Jay Flight with conventional windows.

My LED light over the bed was way too bright. I used a piece of colored film (blue) cut to fit inside the lens cover. If one piece doesn't cut it down enough, simply add more pieces.
