| I mounted my remote for the EMS in the panel with all the other switches/controls. Easy drop from there into the belly, then removed a section of the Basement ceiling and routed to the Battery compartment. | |||||

| ... of the things that sold us on the model. Our FL has lots of interior storage compared to many of today's FL models and yes it does have less Basement storage than a Rear Living Model so that is a negative. The head room in the Front Living area is less but I am 6'1" and it is not a problem for me. Now I have been in many Rear Living models and my head almost hits the ceiling in the bathroom shower, no problem in our Front Living, I cannot touch the ceiling in the bathroom. Our Front Living Floor bedroom is larger than many due to the addition of width movin ... | |||||

| We have an FL and love it but here are my cons after owning for a few years. Very little Basement storage. Having to walk through the bathroom to get into the bedroom. Our MH was this way and we said never again but we did it again because we liked the FL. I won't do this again!!!!:dry: Dining table set up was always in the way so I removed and installed a center island with bar stools and works much better. Now it's almost perfect for us. | |||||

| ... we like it. The first Redwood FL floorplan really worked for us, especially the main seats facing the TV/entertainment system. It also has a full couch across the front, which is claimed by the dogs, and it provides separation between living and dinning/cooking areas.. Lack of an island in the kitchen also makes it easier when living with 2 large dogs. However, the original FL had some negatives - tiny Basement, no sleeper sofa and raised slides in L/R. Redwood have updated the FL many times, but in our opinion none of them even come close to the original ... | |||||

| WE were looking at the FL before we purchased our 38RL...Here are OUR thoughts on that., And only OUR thoughts, and likes... personal preference... The FL created less space in the Basement, smaller compartment and doors The FL created less outdoor awning space, slideout on curbside up front The FL had lower ceilings where we would be sitting The RE caused us to watch TV with our head tilted sideways The RL cured all of those issues..-- FOR US-- | |||||
| Stink bugs??? | 4 Relevance | 7 years ago | Danny_and_Linda | Forum Help & FAQ | |
| Pick one, or 2, of the electric sonic pest control doodads, people told me they were a bunch of hooey, but after plugging one behind the Basement wall where the vacuum plugged in we never had so much as a cobb webb, keeps critters out also. I also have a gallon jug of Home Defense bug spray that when we parked I'd spray around the tires, leveling jacks & along the power cord that laid on the ground. With these 2 methods we had no bugs, no mice & birds didn't land (or crap) on the RW but only a second or 2. | |||||
| Water Softener recommendations | 4 Relevance | 7 years ago | Jim | Utilities: Plumbing, Electrical and Propane | |
| Brad, When going to storage, I pour a little water out of the top of the softener, but don't drain it. Mind you on the West Coast, except for the past month, we generally don't get much winter. When moving sites, I disconnect it and put it straight into the Basement. Affirmative, you could fill the FW tank with water from the softener outlet. In addition to having test strips, we can usually tell when it requires a regeneration with salt. Time between regens varies with the hardness of the water. We have gone up to 2 months, but have also required one aft ... | |||||
| Burping toilet | 4 Relevance | 7 years ago | Anonymous | Utilities: Plumbing, Electrical and Propane | |
| I wouldn't risk using compressed air. My buddy Terry had his vent line become detached and it put grey water into the Basement and the coroplast area, a poor joint. No fun cleaning up! We've had burping before, cured it via filling the tank and back flushing a few times. If you fill the toilet with water then flush it may clear, but you may get some water on the floor as well! | |||||

| ... really ever run out that I've noticed. Wonder if you have something else going on. Just curious - Are your Basement utility faucet valves on (whatever that thing is called with the blue coiled hose that plugs into it). If so, they can causing mixing of the hot and cold so all you ever really get is warm water. They go unnoticed sometimes because there is no water actually flowing with the hose unplugged. Also see Terryandnina's post where they had the check valve fail allowing the cold to mix back into the tank. | |||||
| Cold shower | 4 Relevance | 7 years ago | Jim | Things in general | |
| We are fulltiming in a somewhat permanently parked 36RL. It gets below freezing in this area quite a bit. The water temperature in the shower is fine, but the shower itself is pretty cold. Having the shower door open all the time isn't very handy. Other than being uncomfortable, my concern is the water lines behind the shower freezing. We run the furnace, and the Basement and belly seems pretty warm, but I still have concerns about the water lines feeding the shower. Has anyone had any problems with this happening? What about the comfort issue? | |||||
| Propane Heater | 4 Relevance | 7 years ago | Anonymous | Utilities: Plumbing, Electrical and Propane | |
| Maybe not totally related, but I talked to a guy parked next to us one day with a window awning on his Montana over the fridge vent. He said it was to prevent the wind from blowing out his fridge. Makes sense now, but at first I thought he had a Basement with windows. 🙂 | |||||
| New To Fifth Wheels | 4 Relevance | 7 years ago | Jim | Towing | |
| ... but we are now determined to make the switch to a Fifth Wheel and do less resort camping and more traveling. Our initial thought was to try and stay under 39' length but we really like the bath and a half at 40'. Wondered if there is a motivating reason to try and stay shorter? in our case we have a king bed and slide in a slide with washer and drier in the side closet . The Basement is packed with chairs and camping equipment similar to a full timer but lighter. I have everything from spare water pump to spare wheel bearings ,seal and races for bearing. ... | |||||

| ... is working fine. Getting ready to switch out the Anderson clip that transitions the romex wire from the body of the rig to the slide power gird to see if it fixes the problem. If it doesn't work, my other option is to pull new wire from the breaker box to the where the existing Anderson clips connect to the slide. Is the 120v run in conduit from the slide to be the Basement and if not will the construction allow me to make the new pull? Any other idea you may have will be helpfull.... | |||||

| ... it from outside to inside your RV. I assume most campground wifi is crappy, so using a hotspot like your JetPack from Verizon or my Nighthawk from AT&T is the easiest and fastest way to get service, and provide wifi inside the trailer. It's important to understand cell boosters do just that, they boost a signal to make it stronger and increase voice quality and data speeds. If there is no service or signal, they can't do anything. There must be a signal first. Think of it as multiplier. 1 bar of service x 3 boosting power = 3 bars of service. 0 bars ... | |||||

| I've thought after looking at the big gobs of sealant on the joints of my roof that those folks must get paid by the tube, by the foot for wire looking behind the Basement wall & after seeing that maybe paid by the staple as well. I'm assuming you've painted them as mine are just raw OSB, splinters & all. | |||||
