RE: Fiberglass Roof
I had my winnie for 14 years with no issues. but I agree with Ron that this is not a fiberglass failure, it is a construction issue. patching it up with a layer of tape won't solve anything.

RE: Big Bend Hwy 118 or 385
years back I went in on one of them and out the other. only hassle was a road block setup by the border patrol.

RE: Fiberglass Roof
I am not an authority on this, but it appears something much worse is occurring, a structural failure could be in the early stages. The house appears to be twisting excessively, first showing up in the fiberglass sheathing buckling at the connection between roof and walls.
Please keep us updated.
it surely looks like things have been twisted.

RE: New trailer (almost)
T and that your going to contact an attorney, see what that does to the conversation.
Jay D.
My advice is against saying you'll get an attorney involved. In my business if someone says either of the "A" words (one being attorney) then I quit speaking to them and let my attorney get involved if/when we get a letter. Once you elevate the conversation to attorney then they may just sit back and not do anything. More flys with honey, as they say. Be polite, firm and respectful is my motto.
Good luck
I thought policy here was that if the word attorney, etc., was used, the thread would be closed.

RE: Water Fill Hose size
I found This and it fits and works very well and has a valve on it so you can control the flow rate and turn it off when needed.
be sure to use some silicone seal or other stickum as the hose will slip off the mount and slide down into your water tank/syste.

RE: Black Tank flush with valve closed
Is it common for people to close the valve with the hose still running in order to prime the tank with some fresh water?
yes

RE: Water Fill Hose size
are you talking gravity fill or "city water" fill. IIRC my gravity fill was not threaded and the hose just was pushed into the fitting. my city water has always been the standard hose screw on fitting. I am confused as to your situation.

RE: FIBERGLASS campers ??
When we looked at RV's we looked a class A, B & C & Trailers. We were worried about spending money & having poor quality & problems. So we accidentally found Fiberglass Trailers. They are ordered directly from the factory. The build quality is very good & they hold there value. Canada has several Fiberglass & regular Trailers that you can order from the factory. Taylor Coach for example. We ended up for us it is just 2 retired people and a dog the Casita Fiberglass Trailer. It tows very easy. Weight is 2800 pounds. Look at Oliver, Scamp, Big Foot ( They have a fiberglass 5th wheel. ) and others. Good luck
when I was looking, I went to the Casita factory in TX and rather liked their bathroom layout compared to the scamp. to get a full height coat closet you needed to get the roof AC unit, not the lower one that was located at the bottom of the closet area. had a small table on the side with two swivel chairs and you could leave the dinette made up as a bed full time if desired.

RE: Hard wired surge protector
Four large wire nuts and the box is bypassed. Just leave some slack in the wire. But there are very few posts of random failures. Far more good reports of the protector saving the RV.
so you are recommending buying one without a built in, easy to operate,function, and plan on going out in the rain with 4 wire nuts, rather than flipping a switch?

RE: Tow Dolly VS flat tow
if you are going to flat tow, be sure to check the owner's manual for approval/instructions. that is the only valid source, not third party.

RE: Towing a SAAB 9-3 behind Class A motorhome?
? Doesn't make sense.
The way I read that, you can tow 4 wheels down 75mph from coast to coast and back. But if either the front or rear wheels are on a dolly the max tow speed is 30mph, which would make for one long drive going coast to coast.
?
You are correct. It is because of the all wheel drive. Honestly I'm surprised they allow you to dolly tow at all. I wouldn't dolly tow any awd vehicle.
makes perfect sense to me

RE: Pulling a TT that is pulling a Boat Trailer
From what little research I've done, it seems like it's only legal to tow two trailers if i have a fifth wheel.
Isn't that triple towing and a no no in GA

RE: Towing a SAAB 9-3 behind Class A motorhome?
According to Remco, the 2009 9-3 AWD, manual transmission must be Trailer Towed.
Bumpy is correct. The owners manual is the best source of information.
and according to camperdave, Remco is wrong,per the OM.

Which is why I said the owners manual is the best source of information. ;)
yep, I was just agreeing with you.
