Back when I had the closing my slides issue when Compass Connect failed the mobile tech did it with an alternate power source. He stuck some wires in the connectors and then hooked these up to his portable battery pack cables. I could not watch him being he wanted me inside to tell him what...

I recently purchased a 2024 Grand Design 417KB all options except full paint. We are about 4500 miles into our trip and our refrigerator has been destroyed twice literally. All shelves broken even in the ones in the doors We also had the freezer drawer break loose and shatter. We are not doing...

This morning while dumping the tanks I noticed a leak dripping from the top of the basement door on the nautilus side of our 2022 337 RLS. After a process of elimination I discovered a leak behind the shower handles. Replacing the shower controls should be somewhat easy and we have wanted a new...

We recently discovered a small soft spot in bedroom floor of our 2021 Transcend Xplor 297QB We have resealed window and all front seals with Geocel GC28100 Pro Flex RV Flexible Sealant and front cap with Dicor self leveling and non sag We also raised front slightly so that it drains to back...

Does any one know if schematic diagrams are available for the 2020 2500RL TT? I'd like to see things like the location and orientation of the holding tanks, plumbing, wiring, etc, without removing the underbelly.

Good morning RVers, There's a strange burning smell from the bathroom when using the propane stove top in a 2018 GD Imagine 3170BH. We've been using the stove top to cook our meals but stopped out of an abundance of caution. The last two times we used the stove top there was a strong burning...

I'm venting a little here. I have been to numerous RV Parks and campgrounds that prohibit any work on a vehicle (RV or otherwise) on their property - ostensibly for liability reasons. And, the majority of places we have been prohibit washing RV's or vehicles also. Yet, many parks including...

Good morning, I'm Steve. Traded up from a 2009 Arctic Fox to a 2023 GD Reflection 370 FLS. I'm wanting to install a Splendide washer/dryer in my unit, but there are no markings fir the exhaust outlet. Is there anything in the left wall of the pre-plumbed area that I need to worry about when...

New here so I apologize if this has been asked. Just purchased an Imagine 2970 Saturday. Can we run the air conditioner when plugged in at home loading it with the 110 converter? It has 2 air conditioners and its a 50 amp trailer with solar.

Wife wants to know if anyone has try washing the curtains in their trailer. If so, did you machine wash them, what kind of soap, hot or cold water? The curtains are eight years old. TIA.

I searched the Grand Design Owner’s Forum and did not find anyone reporting this issue. During our last trip which was only 245 miles. I noticed a budge in the side wall between the closet slide-out and the fifth-wheel overhang. After a $200 evaluation at a RV collision shop, it was determined...

I want to upgrade the batteries in the camper to Lifepo4 batteries. Is this just as simple as swapping out current with new? Will the factory converter/charger charge the new batteries? I am also in the process of adding solar with Renogy 40A mppt charge controller. My question is for when it...

I received an inquiry from a prospective buyer of our GD Solitude fifth wheel and they asked me to check the Schwintek slide white rollers. According to the link they sent the white rollers on either side should not be in contact with the slide. According to the article if they are then the...

Hi all, probably venting here, but tired of mice and rats in our GD 2015 369RL. We have tried most all of the deterrents out there: moth balls, dryer sheets, peppermint on cotton balls, sonic devices, cab guard, various rodent repellents, we keep a tidy inside, outside and keep all food stuff...

Some interesting figures in Josh's latest blog post for 2024 sales and production compared to prior years. Mid-range 5th wheel sales seem to be taking a hit. https://www.bishs.com/blog/rv-sales-report-august-2024/

I replaced the Furrion solar charge controller in my TT this weekend. I replaced the the Furrion with a Victron controller. The Furrion controller was located on the basement wall closest to the front of the trailer. I put the Victron on the same wall. When I started this project I noticed...

We had to evacuate because of the Alexander Fire. We had been thinking about purchasing an Imagine XLS MKE17. After a miserable night in a hotel with our two dogs, we drove to Cheyenne, Wyoming and bought the Imagine. We were in an RV Campsite the same night. I have so many questions that...

When he removed his systems he did not label anything, which was nice of him. So I am starting with 6 175w panels on the roof. I found six leads going into the RV from the roof. He did mention he had them wired in three pairs on the roof. But I only found 4 leads in about where they would...

We just purchased a 2019 Imagine XLS 21 BHE. We recently used my parents little RPod to stay at a NASCAR race, it towed great, but it is awful to live out of. It showed us what we didn't want and what we did want. The prior owner removed the bunks and made it into an office. So I am...

I have a 2021 solitude 345gk. The furnace won’t turn on. My furnace worked just fine last year. I’ve taken a couple trips this summer, but didn’t need it until we were above 8000 ft. Set the thermostat to heat and nothing happens. No fan or blower turns on. Just nothing. The stove and oven work...

I’m sure this topic has been brought up before but I couldn’t find it by searching threads. We have the standard scissors stabilizers on our 2400BH. Looking to upgrade the stabilizers to take some of the movement out without prefabricating everything. We do use Xchocks already. Just seems to be...

I have a 24 17mke, When running my hot water it is set to 124. With the shower running on hot it will top out at 124. As I add cold water the temperature will climb to 150+. Only started during the warm weather. I tried turning the thermostat down and same thing happens. Turned off and...

2021 Imagine 22MLE. Kept undercover and on shore power when not camping. Total trailer miles approximately 7,578. This model is one of the best in its size. Camper is a dream to tow behind any half ton truck. Café seating as well as reclining, heated stadium seats. We upgraded the suspension...

Last week we took our 2023 22mle out for the second time. We were sitting by the river enjoying our coffee when we heard what we thought was a tree limb falling. We all went to check our campers for damage. To our horror we found our awning arm had collapsed. No rain. No wind. Just poor materials.

I can only assume that the folks that designed the electrical system in our RV do not live in a RV? Every outlet that you can easily reach in the kitchen and garage run through the same 15A breaker. And that breaker was mounted under the step, making it painful to reset. Thankfully, GRDV...
