Unfortunately not for me. They wired one rear speaker and one side speaker outside. So even if I fade side-side or front-rear, at least one of them remains on. I just disconnected them outside.

The only way is to unscrew and disconnect the outside speakers. I'm sure it wouldn't be that difficult to install a switch if you can trace the wires inside.

Yeah, it's a huge oversight and/or...

Update: I've played with the pump/water pressure as suggested, and it's still leaking-- but not all the time. I'm not sure why it would leak one day and not another.

One way to look at it is...

I've tried this a couple times. Is there a specific order (turn off city water, run pump, allow pressure to release, turn city water back on, etc)?

Bad check valve? City water filling fresh water tank.

Hey there, my SL 161 has been parked for several months at a full-hookup site, but over the last several months I've noticed a constant trickle of water coming from the freshwater tank overflow...

I also removed/sold the couches in the first week of ownership. They were super uncomfortable, either as couches or a bed, and heavy.

Negative. My only guess is that it's wired incorrectly in the back of the unit, but I haven't felt motivated to start digging around back there.

As for the 'zone' switch, if there is one, it's...

I'm not an engineer, but based on the angle I'm seeing there, the rear axle (of the 3) is taking the majority of the weight of your trailer. I'd go so far to say that it's possibly overloading the...

I wonder if they're not more concerned with the balance of the trailer if you use that as a patio. If you have 3-4 people back there in addition to a heavy bike/atv, etc, perhaps it could tip back? ...

Octane 161 sewer hose storage area

Unless you have, or have seen an Octane 161 you probably won't know, but I thought I'd give it a shot. The larger Octanes have a bedroom in the front, the 161 just has the kitchen/bathroom.

There...
