RE: Cougar Lite Furnace Upgrade
Be careful, the furnace needs to have enough air flow to keep from over heating and cycling on and off on the high limit.

RE: OK all you plumbing experts- need help with suburban valves!
Contact Gulfstream service they will help you. The valves do different things, one is for winterizing, water heater bypass, filling the water tank from a bucket or jug, filling the water tank from freshwater hookup, city water or tank water. This was the way they came on the Sedona, nothing was marked.
Try the link in my sig and you can get some contact information.

RE: Not happy with Lippert-need to vent
Sorry for your woes - but I think you need give everyone a chance to respond and see what is wrong - just from what you describe I can't tell at all other than something broke.
Kakampers - I think you are the first I have read that got rid of his rig because it "wasn't" built on a Lippert frame :B
LOL! True...Venture went out of business because they had MAJOR issues with their frames...have had two Lippert frame fivers since, one for six years and 80k miles with no issues, except springs and a broken spring hanger...second fiver, sent it to Mor Ryde prior to delivery for IS to eliminate those issues.
What is the major issues with Venture frames? Wasn't Venture bought out by Lippert?

RE: King pin stabilizer need it or not???
We had a tripod, but the UltraFab Eliminators beat it hands down. Also look for the JT Strongarms, they all work the same.
X2 and they were cheaper then JTs and came with a lot of hardware for different mounting configurations.

RE: Crossroads Stops 2+5 Year Warranty
I believe the biggest reason this warranty program changed is that the component suppliers have lowered their warranty term to better compete with the lower-cost suppliers. New companies have popped up (and vendors from other industries have started marketing in the RV industry) with much lower overhead costs to many established firms in the industry causing a riptide of margin cutting. The bigger and more stable players have agreed to cutting their costs, but with the concession of a shorter warranty term. If the RV you're producing is made entirely of components with a 1-year warranty, how do you go out and double the warranty term without support from the original manufacturer? THIS is most likely why CrossRoads has been forced to lower their term.
Recall that the following companies/brands have 1-year GENERAL warranties:
All Forest River Brands
All Keystone Brands
All Dutchmen Brands
Some GulfStream Brands
Open Range (2 year limited structural)
Evergreen
Coleman
DRV (3 year limited structural)
Cruiser RV
Winnebago Towables
Starcraft
Coachmen
2-Year Warranties:
Jayco
K-Z
Some Gulf Stream (But their warranty doesn't hardly pay according to forum perspective)
Redwood
My guess is that 80%+ of the industry in towables is warranted for a year.
I usually don't reply much to threads anymore on this forum due to the amount of bashing that happens but I just want to point out that I have had 2 Gulf Stream products and had excellent warranty coverage and found the factory reps pleasant to deal with.

RE: Gulf Stream Conyon Trail Slid Outs
You should have a full 2 year warranty, I have even had things taken care of after 2 years. The dealer is feeding you a line. Have you contacted Gulf Stream yourself? Contact John Smith in the towables division, he will help you.

RE: tri-pod stabalizer
Don't waste your money, get some JT Strongarm Stabilizers for a rock solid trailer. Far superior to a tripod.
X2 I have the Ultra Fab version and they work great.

RE: Need an honest assessment- toilet
Its possible that the vent pipe is stuck into the tank part way. When the water level reaches the bottom of the vent the toilet will burp.

RE: Concerned about Campground power issues
We are seasonal campers and have been at the same campground for the last 4 years. We just recently bought a new 31 foot TT and I have so far blown the breaker twice this season. I am aware never to turn anything on other than lights while the A/C is on and did not at the time of the breakers blowing. While they were flipping it back last weekend, I noticed that the breaker was 10 amps. I am concerned more about doing damage to my TT then to their breaker that has blown. Any suggestions or ideas ?
Thanx...
Rich...
You were probably looking at the interupting current, on Square D breakers there is a big 10 followed by small 000, (10,000 A interupting current) The ampacity of the breaker should be on the end of the breaker switch. You can see a picture of one Here

RE: new tires
I just put Firestone Trancefore HT's on my fifth wheel, I used LT 245/75/16 to replace the 235/80/16 ST tires that were on the trailer. I went with the smaller tire because I was concerned about the spacing in between the tires, they are almost the same size as the ones that came off but a little wider.
Leaving on a trip to the west coast tomorrow, I'll post if I have any problems. I was sick of replacing ST tires.

RE: electrical
I also generally agree with what Cedarhill wrote with one exception and several assumptions.
You will have to get the power out and back, so the total wire length is actually 130 feet, not 65.
The assumptions are that the wire is copper, not aluminum and solid not stranded. If these are not correct they the voltage drop will be slightly higher, but still safe.
Thus, the actual voltage drop will be approximately 4 volts at full load.
Good engineering practice is to design for a worst case of 5% or with a 120 volt source 6 volts.
Dave
Don't forget to add the length of the power cord too.
