eaherrmann,

Questions about your sun shade. What size is it, length and heighth? Is there a model number? How hard to install? This is exactly what we are needing now, as the vening sun hits the awning side and as it sets the awning does no good. Thanks.


You can find the awning shades here...Patty-O-Shade


That is the one I have been looking at. Didn't know since it said it worked with A&E if it would with the Colorado. Thanks.

Installed it yourself Howard?? Gee you going to be in my area anytime soon?

Hey did I read the wife is going in for surgery? Hope it is not anything too serious...


Hey Eric ... if I was in the area I would definately help. Really wasn't difficult at all. Hardest part (other then getting it up ON the roof) was getting that caulking off that they use around the vent.
You gonna try it ??


DW is having lower back surgery. (fusion). Not looking forward to it at all, but hope it helps.

Um...me and tools and being mechanically inclined just dont
seem to go together...now with someone elses help that may be different...

Back surgery is not good since the recovery is a slowprocess from what I hear...did the wife buy the bell yet so she can ring it every time she needs you?

Blue, for tv just slide the panel back as if you were accessing your central vac. Look for the grey coax cable there. If you have the ext entertainment center you will see where they installed a splitter for it. Just use that splitter for a tv hook up but remember if you want to feed a seperate satt receiver there you cannot use a splitter. FYI, that coax continues on to feed your bedroom tv so if you disconnect it to watch tv outside you cannot watch in the bedroom.

The plan is to disconnect the cable at the splitter where it goes to the bedroom and then screw-in the cable from the basement TV when we want to do that...when finished we'll switch the cables back

eaherrmann,

Another question. Picked up the shade today at Camping World and installed. Made a huge difference in temps. But, when rolling up awning noticed arm by door had slack in it. Rolled awning out a few times, even adjusted shade to make sure even, but still had slack in awning fabric as rolling in. When awning came up to side of camper,could tell awning not rolled up straight. Did you have any problems when rolling yours up?

This question is about jacking up our camper. We have a 2008 RLSA but my question can apply to any camper. Looking behind the tires at the frame, I decided it's time to clean and repaint the frame like Jayco suggest. You could do a much better job with the slide out and the tires off. So the question is has anyone had there slide outs out and there trailer jacked up at the same time? My first guess is it's a bad idea so I'm just asking.

Have any others noticed fabric wear on the back of their fabric -upholstered recliners? Jan noticed that at the top left hand back corner of one recliner and at the right top back corner on the other the fabric had been cut through by a sharp-edged metal angle piece under the fabric that makes the corner tight and square. I ride with the recliners back-to-back, one covered with the vinyl cover, and tied with the strap provided but there must be sufficient movement to cause the wear and cutting. Our dealer's service manager said it was a common problem and that he will have them reupholstered under warranty.

I think that in future I'll be looking for some way to cushion the corners.

Cheers,

Dave

Any electronics store should carry a switchable splitter. It has one or more inputs and one or more outputs with a selector switch built in. This eliminates the need to disconnect and reconnect the cables...just slide the selector switch to get desired input to desired TV. Sounds like you just may need a splitter with more outputs.

We use the pillows along with bungies for all of our chairs, dining included. This keeps wear from being an issue.

Well we just came back from a trip to WV. Had a good time and the RLSA performed great. I did notice that now the pump does not cycle as much as it used to with the shower fully on. Flow was fine as well as pressure, but I do recall that it used to cycle on and off with the water just on. Of course we left the awning out and a storm rolled in. We got the story of the awning flapping up and all over the place but it was done when we got back. Never leaving it out to dry ever again! Our rear stabilizers also would not go down and tripped a breaker... or whatever they are wired through. A quick shot of lube and a couple wacks got them moving again. Just remember to clean and grease that shaft every once in a while!

Love this truck, although that new Banks speedbrake would have been cool on the 8% grades. Ok, at least on the way down them.
