Just picked up my new 21rs Roo from RVWholesalers on Thursday(fanstastic group of people down there especially Joe and Scott) but there were a couple of questions I didn't think to ask until now.
1. What is the safe water operating pressure for my system? Will I need a water pressure regulator?
2. Is it best to drop stabilizer jacks down before or after the rear slide is out?
Thanks

Buy a Watts brand pressure reducer. I have stayed at places were the line pressure from the campground is 100 lbs. Most pressure reducer's run at 50PSI for RV applications.
Yes, you need to level the camper then put down the stabilizer's prior to slide operation. This allows the slide to travel in/out without binding or stressing the slide mechanism.

London, Ontario Canada. We actually went down to Lakeview to pick it up. It was going to be $453 to ship it to Port Huron/Sarnia border but we decided to pick it up so we could do a detailed PDI. When we got back to the border it was a total of about 15 minutes to complete the paperwork and we were on our way. Could not believe how easy it was. Not to mention saving $10000.00 well worth the drive.

The stabilizers will twist the trailer frame and body unless tighened exactly right. I always run the slide out before they're down for this reason. I figure the body is floating on the suspension with no pressure points. Mike says the opposite.  You're gonna have to judge this on your unit.

OK, no laughing, but what does the Forest River "Owners Manual" say about this?

I know everyone's skeptical of new people that post and mention RVW. I'll agree it does create a certain... doubt.
What most may not know is that RVW is promoting their customers joining this forum and use it as a resource. I recently got an order shipped from them and it had a card inside advising "~Visit www.rv.net or any of your favorite online reacreational vehicle forums~"
So a lot of these newbs probably are real.
BTW, my interactions with RVW have been fine. Never bought an RV, but I have ordered smaller things from them several times and the customer service has been great.

You are correct. They do like people to use this site as a resource, Joe told me that himself. He aslo said that if I felt I was treated well then to let people know and if I wasn't, once again, let them know. No skin off my teeth either way. If there are any doubters out there about me being a legit customer of theirs because I have only been a member since January, I will gladly post some pics of my new trailer. I'll even throw one in of the rear of the unit so they can see the RVWholesalers.com sticker.

Forest River owners manual?!  It's so generic it doesn't even cover how to deploy the beds.
