Buzz, Another thanks for sharing your experience. I enjoyed your descriptions and the pictures.

Well, we are the opposites. I'm an old soft luxury RV type. At 60+, I'm not afraid to admit that my bones don't like the cold or hard. I want HEAT before my feet get frozen to the floor. I need the comfort of a Men's room several times per night; and frankly, putting on cold clothes and...

Ben, Does that work for me? I ordered before Dec 21 !!! And, I even took delivery before Dec 21, and paid in cash! April 12, IIRC. (Just pulling your chain.)

I don't think pushing any buttons would cause this to happen. But where are the buttons? Do you have any instructions on their use? I guess one could be a push on-push off type. Might be time to play with them. I suspect it is wired to the 12V. If the battery is connected, it runs. If the...

I've had several RV refers, and none of mine had a fan. If it's not shown in your user's manual, it must have been added by the previous owner. Can you describe where the fan is located, and what it seems to be doing?

Saline Valley is a destination. The hot tubs are a well kept secret. The tubs have been constructed over the years by volunteers. Well maintained by NP staff and visitors, daily. Great Desert views, no privacy, but at least three distinct camping areas. WARNING: This is a clothing...

I want that tank If this is a laydown tank, with a gauge, $135 sounds like a good price to me. I looked all over the internet, and mine was almost $200 with the shipping. I would like to fix that valve, or at least try to. I get to Reno from time to time, and could pick it up (hopefully...

I assume you need the ~5 gal. lay down style. I've heard you can get them re-certified, if they are out of date. However, if you are worried about the older valve, check here, near the bottom, "recent exclusion....": http://www.damouth.com/RVStuff/OPD.shtml The best price I could find was...

Great find. Dave J.

Resistors have been used to slow DC motors for many decades. First one I remember was on my grandmother's 1953 Chevy. A rheostat that controlled the fan speed on the (optional) heater. It ran HOT. The modern way is electronic control. It's called Pulse Width Modulation. As the name...

Contact the factory. Replacing stuff may be relatively cheap. Especially if you are handy. If not, some things look hard, but can be done very quick by the pro's.

If I had purchased a new camper, it would have been a shell. All one has to do is to look at some of the excellent work put out by forum members for great design ideas. Mark, My feeling exactly. FWC and ATC provide the best camper for the typical buyer. Both do a great job. BUT, there are...

I chose Air Lift bags, I like the idea of being able to adjust the ride height when the camper is off. I bought them from: http://www.jcwhitney.com Current price is $183. The install was very easy, but I have eyes on the tips of my fingers, YMMV. I would have installed the valves as license...

Good eye fisherman. I agree, they stuck the wrong coil on the relay. Call for another one. I checked my 1315 just to be sure. flinchlock, With your luck, I hope you don't buy lottery tickets.

How about mileage related? 100 miles 1,000 miles 10,000 100,000 (I don't like the idea, but thought somebody might like it.) Maybe something better tomorrow.

I'm another one without an electric pump. With limited water, SHE is much more conservative. Actually, this is a major change for me. I've been an RV'er for a long time, with water on tap. Seems just fine for us.

Ed, Good work, these things are meant to be customized. You are going to love the extra special storage.

Congrats Again Mike, Another congratulation. Hope Mom is doing well. A fine birthday present.

Another vote for the Dodge. I special ordered a '96 with the manual trans and Cummins. It ran fine for the 11 years I had it. I had guys here bidding on it when I sold.

It is no rumor, we had the clear slider installed and we absolutely love it!!! Mike What a difference a month makes. Was not (apparently) an option when I bought. I took my solid panel out, don't know where it is now. Time to call Ben and find out if the clear will fit.

Congratulations Welcome to the owners club. It's too bad FWC has a problem, but I'm betting Stan is going to get the message. If you are in the area, it's worth a trip to ATC, when your camper is being built. I went after welding and attachment to the plywood base. Took picts of all the...

I prefer the hand pump. With only 10-12 gallons, it keeps HER from using any more water than required. I have an external drain on the outside, I just use that when I need a pot of water. White one on the left side.

My 1314 ALWAYS draws current = DEFECTIVE. Mike Mike, I agree it's DEFECTIVE. Time to call Marty or Ben. Last time I was there, they had several 1314's. My playing in the lab led me to two possible ways to fool a Sure Power battery separator. By placing a resistor in the ground line, I...

Chris, Very nice, made just for you, the way you want it. And if you want to make some changes, it's only a few screws. Looks like a pretty big water tank, what size is it?

According to "Specification Outline" http://www.box.net/shared/77wb4epc88 the Engagement voltage is 13.2 ±2% (that would be 12.936 to 13.464 volts). So, maybe since my battery has 12.94 volts (pretty close to the 12.936), maybe mine is OK??? Mike Mike, The engagement voltage is supposed to be...
