RE: 2011 PUMA 30FBSS advice needed on purchase ?
My wife and I have a 2011 Puma 19 RL that we use regularly for normal camping, and I also use it as a hunting camp during deer season. We absolutley love it, and have had no problems whatsoever with it. We are going to upgrade to a larger unit this summer or fall, and will be buying another Puma. IMHO your MIL will not be disappointed.
That's great to here, thanks!

2011 PUMA 30FBSS advice needed on purchase ?
My MIL is looking to buy a 2011 Puma 30FBSS this weekend and i am going to check it out tonight for her. I am just curious if anyone on here owns one of these or a Puma for that matter, what are there weak spots ? Anything in particular i should look for ? Thanks in advance.

RE: DOMETIC FRIDGE SQUEAL/SQUEAK ?
Cooling fans in outside compartment are located near the top.
Hard to see from lower vent opening.
So it could be a fan up high.
Just one other suggestion.....
Is the power distribution panel/converter located below fridge.
Could it be the converter cooling fan squeaking?
I will have to figure this out this weekend, ive never looked for the converter but i am sure it is behind the breaker box with all the breakers/fuses. So there is a fan for the refrigerator ??

RE: Overweight.
That is way to much weight for your suburban. Once you factor in the weight of all the cargo in the trailer, plus weight of occupants of the vehicle you will most likely be over the payload rating for your suburban. I would reccomend staying at a trailer around 6500 loaded.

RE: DOMETIC FRIDGE SQUEAL/SQUEAK ?
open the outside vent see if that helps find the noise? or a mouse got in there and wants out?? just kidding
Lol it sounds exactly like a mouse, but its definately not HAHA....I am not to worried about it as it has done it for awhile now, fridge and freezer work great....It would just be nice to eliminate that noise....I have taken the cover off on the outside of the trailer, almost sounds like its coming from the vent that goes out the roof maybe ?

DOMETIC FRIDGE SQUEAL/SQUEAK ?
I have a 2008 Fleetwood Mallard with a Dometic refrigerator/freezer....Just recently the fridge started to make a squeal noise once over 5 minutes or so...Its not getting louder or anything...I have it running on propane when it makes the squeal, i dont think it makes this noise while on 120...Any ideas guys/gals ?
Thanks in advance,

RE: Still New... :) Inverter generator question
I have a Yamaha 2000 watt inverter, its the perfect size for running EVERYTHING in my trailer(other than A/C )The Yamaha runs about 1200$ though...I have seen the Champion 2000 watt inverter generator at Costco for $399 when on sale(Not sure if you have a costco card/costco near you..) But i think for a tight budget thats the perfect generator to get! Anything smaller will be underpowered most likely...Good luck and let us know what you decide!

RE: Bubbles under fibreglass
This is called delamination and is due to water intrusion. The water usually leaks in from a front window if yours has that, or from the seam that connects the front cap to the rubber roof. Once this starts it is very pricy to fix and only gets worse over time. You will want to identify and stop the leak immediatly, and then go from there as to repairing the delamination.

RE: Taking Babies Camping. . .
A few years ago my wife and i took our newborn son camping in our travel trailer, he was only 5 weeks old. It happened to snow that weekend, we all had a blast and have been camping with our son ever since, hes now 18 months old and loves camping. I am so looking forward to camping this summer because now he is running around. Just have to remember to keep the little ones bundled from head to toe and keep that furnace going. Thanks for posting this topic, never should having a child keep anyone from RVing...For me its more of a reason to head out camping, you have to make memories!

RE: Gray water tank overflow
Your grey tank is in no way connected to your black tank(and for good reason) You dont want any chance of cross contamination from your black to grey tank! When your grey tank overflows, it will come up from the lowest point in the rv or trailer, which is always the shower drain, from there if the grey continues to fill it will come up the sink drains and lastly i think it could come out the vent pipe ?

RE: Having concerns over towing weight / payload capacity
I have a 2010 Ram 1500 with the factory Goodyear tires on them. Get rid of them ASAP, not saying you must go with a LT tire, but something other than those. There is a reason they are the cheapest tire on tirerack for our trucks, also with the worst reviews! I will be swapping my tires for 275-60-20 Michelin AT2's this week.

RE: LOAD RANGE E TIRES ON STOCK WHEELS ?
Have you towed with the factory tires?
I would have guessed the shorter sidewall on a 60 series tire to handle pretty well,even if they are P rated.
Thanks everyone for the replies! I have towed several thousand miles on the stock GoodYear Tires and cant seem to go anywhere without getting a flat...these tires have left my family stranded twice, so for our safety and peace of mind while towing i want to upgrade to a better tire! Thanks for your reply.

LOAD RANGE E TIRES ON STOCK WHEELS ?
I have a 2010 Ram 1500 with regular P rated tires, my truck came with the optional 20" Chrome Clad Rims. I would like to put on LT tires with the load range E for towing. I already posted a subject regarding which tires to purchase, however i am confused regarding which rim i have to use. I have read a few times that sometimes the stock rim cannot handle 80 PSI which is the max for the Load Range E tires ? I looked on my rim and there is no PSI rating, i spoke to Dodge and the guy said i could put any tire on my rim(i dont think he knew what he was talking about) So to those of you out there, am i able to put any tire on my truck and pump it up to 60 psi ? I am putting these tires on for more safety and stability towing, i dont want to do the opposite by putting to much PSI in them than my rim can handle. All help and comments are appreciated! Thanks
