It was like a giant cup of water spilled our first time out. My wife had to have those covers on and I didn't think a thing about it and left the pump on. When we stopped for a break after a couple of hours the sink was running a very healthy stream of water and we had a huge mess to clean up. The bottom trim around the sink island was already soaking up the water and we now have permanent scars from that excursion. We no longer tow with the covers on and always check to be sure the pump is off while we are on the move. Lesson learned . . .

Glad you guys made it back ok! Sorry it was a short visit, seeing you guys pull away made me anxious to de-winterize the TT. If we make it up North this season we will look you guys up.

Sorry Camping World lived up to their less than stellar customer service again. I was hoping I would be wrong, but based on my own experience I'm not shocked.
Everyone there seems nice but I don't think anyone talks to each other in that place. Lot of lost communication and empty promises in our deal with that store.

Was great to meet a forum member in person!

The covers are nice. They fit really well, but are heavy.
You answer about your brakes will be shown to my dealer.
If you go under the rig exploring, and remember, can you take a picture of your axel tag for me please.

No Problem, I will try to get under there tomorrow depending on what time I get home, if not will get it done over the weekend.

That's about what I figured with the Faucet.

I did some more looking around the trailer this morning before I left for work and found the sink covers under the stove

I was really hoping for better from them, and will be talking to the General Manager within the next week to let them know about the unit not be ready on Monday, the couple of issues that need to be taken care of, and lack of communication between Departments which really gives them a bad name.

I made sure they re-winterized the unit after I checked out the water heater and plumbing. Had a wind chill up here last night around 10 degrees. Hoping to be able to de-winterize around the middle of April, and get it loaded up to bring to the Seasonal site by the end of April.

If you know ahead a time, let me know and I will try to get you a site in our Campground so we can actually get to know each other a little better.

Earl,

Rhone's RV was great!! Everything they promised on , they delivered. We drove down and did a Hotel that night, next morning went to Rhone's RV. They had the trailer all Cleaned, Detailed, the PDI went smooth with no issues coming up. We were buying the same floor plan again, so new everything about the trailer, it was just a couple of years newer.

I can imagine the mess it made with the water flowing.

Have you tried putting a couple of Rubber Bands around the faucet and the Handle to make sure that it stays closed?

Great. Those guys are nice. We deal with Guy. He's always catered to us from the start. That's why we choose them even though they are 3 hours away. Our local (25 mins away) dealer sucks badly for sales and service.

Sorry it took me a little while to get this picture and information for you Klassic. The North Point is on my lawn and it finally dried up enough to crawl under and not get soaked. Seems like it has been raining almost every day since I got back.

I did find the sink covers under the fridge which was good.

[klassic]

Thanks gman.
Same axel. Yours built 8 months later.

[gman03842]

Your welcome, Not surprised that they are the same axle. Not quite sure why the Brakes on mind would be fine, when a lot of the other North Points have bad brakes.

[klassic]

I still can't figure out how the axel numbers work. Tom has a 377 and has the same axel number. I crawled around the dealers lot and saw a bunch of different numbers on north points and pinnacles

[Mopar_Earl]

Numbers are different depending on hub face to hub face, spring perch centers, over or under slung, weight capacity, options.

Email your axle number to Lippert asking what your axle specs are and they will tell you the specs.

Thanks Earl. That makes more sense now.
I guess I got the poor brake option on my axel. lol!

Did it cost extra?

Lol... actually it did cost extra. My rig has been sitting at the dealer for the last 5 months waiting for this to be resolved.
Amongst some other repairs
But the time I have put into this brake thing. Testing..getting my neighbor to pull my trailer...the dealer hookimg up their truck to pull it...me crawling underneath over and over
Talking on here about it.
The biggest cost with this brake thing is it pushed me into buying my 2017 truck. I just had to eliminate the potential for my old truck being the problem.
Oh well...new truck

Why didn't the dealer visually inspect the brakes?? First steps in any brake performance issue. Visually inspect and check adjustment.


Earl

[klassic]

I don't know.
Maybe they had a jr mechanic look at it and he said it was fine. Maybe they only took one wheel off because it was new and said it was fine. Everyone is real quick to blame the truck.
I haven't had it here long enough to take it apart myself. That was my next step. But they are getting me new brakes now.
Maybe they won't put them on. Lol!!

Greg,
If your deposit is refundable, I'd give Indiana RV Connection a call. I live in Kansas and my wife and I were going to order a new 2017 from there. I found a repo in the model were wanting. A Eagle HT 28.5 RSTS. Indiana RV was wanting $38,500.00 loaded. I found a 2016 repo for 30k. The stove hadn't even been used. The person only had it for about 6 months. We saved $8500.00, I love the money we saved and my wife loves her new camper. The only draw back is we don't get the 2 year warranty. It h d an issue with the bathroom exhaust vent housing cracking. That's another story.....
Good luck Greg with your adventure!!
Chris
