RE: Ugh- found some water in the overhead bunk- what to do.
My opinion's free so you get what you pay for. My theory is the RV shop would just patch it and make it look good and you would pay a premium. Since you appear to have good skills and diagnosed where it was leaking and have a vested interest in a quality repair, I think I would do it myself. Hopefully folks with some experience will chime in with suggestions and you can take the best from those suggestions and make a quality repair, most likely much better than a dealer.

Henderson Beach Fl, Electrictry
I was just able to reserve a site at Henderson Beach for the 4th of July and noticed the site says 30 amps. I haven't stayed there in the summer since I upgraded to 50 amp 5th wheel.
Can anyone confirm 30 amps only?
4th of July and I'm going to be limited to 1 A/C?

RE: Decision on a Fifth Wheel
I have a 2011 Sierra 345RET which was the precursor to the 346RET. I don't have the windows in the rear and my sink is on the island not the forward wall in the kitchen. I also have a full closet next to the bed rather then the table and window facing the rear. Other than that I think they are the same, the 346 is just the new model. I haven't had any issues and use it about 12-14 times a year. I have put about 20K miles on it with no problems. Feel free to ask any specific question and I'll try to answer.

RE: Any Sandpiper 345 Ret in here
I've got a Sierra 345RET which is the same thing. It's a 2011 that I've had for 2 years never had to take it back to the dealer for any warranty work. We go on about 12 trips a year so it doesn't just sit in one place and so far has held up fine. Any specific questions?

RE: Sandpiper 5ers
You may want to check for a Sierra dealer. I'm not sure why Forrest River has two brands exactly the same but the Sierra and Sandpiper are the same other than the name on the outside. It may have started as a East Coast vs West Coast thing but I'm not sure now.

RE: Honda eu2000i, adequate to run Flux Core Wire Welder?
Honda is rated at 1600 watts continuous load which is 13.3 amps, less than the 20 amps you appear to need. Even at peak load it's only 2000 watts or 16.6 amps.
It will most likely go into overload and shutdown as soon as you turn the welder on.

RE: New Norcold fridge in 5th wheel
Sounds like it's not sensing 110V A/C. Could be breaker or control board malfunction. Are you getting both legs of 50 amp?
Just some suggestions.

RE: Honda 2000i valve adjustment
Wow, I've got over 2500 hours on each of mine and have never adjusted the valves. Something I've known I have needed to do, just never have. One is 8 years old and the other is 7 years old. Both still run great and are used 7 weekends in the fall for about 40 hours at a time. I use an external tank and once started they are not shut off for 40 hours.

RE: barley made the grade
I have the same trailer, just with the Sierra stickers on the side and it weighs around 13K ready to camp. Although I don't have any grades of significant length here in the southeast, the ones I do encounter I can pick up speed going uphill if desired. The only concern I would have about the length of a grade would be transmission temp and water temp. Since I don't have the PSD wait and see what their experiences are...
