Mine went off randomly the other day. I pushed the reset button and, not hard, and it went right back into the unit. The alarm silenced but I’m thinking a new unit might be in the works for me as well.

I bought a couple of MC4 connectors and attached to the ends of the SAE plug wires and plugged the ones from the panel into the plug, basically he same as the adaptor but I made it myself. It was easy and works well.

Great ideas. Thanks for the discussion.

Thanks for the stories. I guess I’m not alone! Time for developing my own foolproof check system.

Ok, tough to admit but I forgot to latch my roof down. Twenty miles later a trucker pulls up next to me, honks and points up. I pull over and the front is fully up. I don’t notice anything immediately wrong. Anybody else want to admit they’ve done this? Results?

Still my trusty baseball mitt.

The exhaust fan is worth it if only used for popping down. [emoji106]

Do you recall the screw size? I’d like to get some before I start removing lights. Thanks

I am getting water in the cab overhang, right beneath the marker lights. The water seems to be coming in where the wires penetrate the aluminum. I taped up the lights on one side to try and isolate the problem which seemed to work but this morning had a small amount underneath the driver’s side...

2017 Ram Cummins. ~18 driving 60-65mph

I have a 160 watt panel between the vents but more close to the forward vent on my Grandby. I use 40lbs in the front and 30lbs in the back. It still takes some umpf to get the front up. Easier when I raise slower.

Thanks. I’m going to look into a swap out. I don’t need all the bells and whistles but would like the option of keeping my truck batteries charged while I am parked.

Is it as easy as switching out wires to swap a Sure Power for a Blue Sea or is there a need to run new wires to the plug etc. Thanks.

Love the king pull out on the Grandby. Not difficult to step to the bed and crawling over. The front dinette set as a bed is also very nice for lazy rainy days.

Count us in. This will be our first FWC Rally. Looking forward to a fun weekend.

Good to hear from others. My 2015 Grandby has a few spots starting to do this. Small cracks, but still not what I like to see.

Thanks longhorn1. You have confirmed what I was planning thanks.

Stovetop espresso maker from IKEA. $20. Perfect.

What process do people use to flush the tank? When I drain I use the valve on the outside but it takes a really long time. Is this the flush procedure? Thanks for any advice.

What is attached to your camper? Fly rod? Looks like a great trip.

Chris Smither is always worth a listen, or two, or three.

I know they use aluminum and that would be preferred but steel is cheaper and easier for me to source where I live. Also, I'm only using the things a couple of times a year. I typically do not travel with the jacks on.

Will standard steel plate, say 1/4 x5", from the hardware store be strong enough for the extension plates or should I be looking for a special type of steel? Thanks

I put my Grandby on a trailer that became a flatbed after I cut the sides off. I store my camper in the garage in the winter with the top popped up. Sometimes I run a dehumidifier inside because it seems to be constantly damp where I live.

I don't mind the maneuvering. In the Grandby there is still enough room to sit at the table with the bed fully slide out.
