RE: Pump issues
You might also see a leak where it's sucking in air after pump is turned off which will help to locate the problem. Could be anywhere including the hot water tank area.
But first check all of the areas around the replaced pump including the pump.

RE: Intermittent 12v electrical issue
The wires are grounded to the frame there, might be worth cleaning that ground up.It's an intermitten problem. Clean or replace everything.
Yes you might get lucky or chase your tail to the next time.

Likely a 2005 model won't be available. Search for the same physical size and mounting for a newer one.

RE: 2009 Tiffin Phaeton Engine Rebuild
It's expensive but what is wrong? Some issues can be fixed w/o engine removal. And probably some shops don't want to do any repairs w/o removing the engine so shop around.
AFAIK Cummins has a set number of hours for a repair and a higher hourly rate for RVs. Justified based on engine access or we don't really want this job.

RE: Intermittent 12v electrical issue
Shook the wires and it came on. Did it again and lights are back on. My first thought was the connectors but that doesn’t make sense from the original problem where I had power 4 feet away at the junction. Any ideas on what to check or replace?This is a clear indication of an intermittent connection problem. Most likely source is the battery post connection or the wires. Flooded batteries if that is what you have vent corrosive fumes so check everything. Even shrink wrapped battery wire can/do fail between the wire and connector.
One cheap and clear way to isolate is to completed clean the battery posts and replace the connecting cables. Or using long leads between the post (not the connector) and the far wire end and check for a connection with a voltmeter. Better yet buy a DC clamp on ammeter, leave lights on and check for current to isolate to a wire.
Intermittents can be hard to isolate.

RE: New 2011 Gillig Low Floor owner looking for support
Congradulations. :C More like a house bumping and vibrating down the road. And the RV likely has some household appliances that aren't designed for that. I'd bet a donut that there are also dedicated forums for the unique RV aspects.
Interesting about the low floor aspect. Mine lowered the chassis so the entire RV is lower but increased the ceiling height. Just haven't seen much mention of that aspect of the design.

RE: Concerns about buying from a distant dealer?
And the PDI for the next rig which was 2 years old took 3 weeks for repairs because they could not get the parts. Dometic was extremely evasive for a A/C repair. Finally admited they had a recall. The A/C was replaced with a new one 3 months later.
Others have provided you good info - consider your options.

RE: Concerns about buying from a distant dealer?
Would you have concerns about buying from that distance? I don't mind driving to pick it out / up - but what happens if it needs warranty work? While concern about warranty work is valid your FIRST concern should be about purchase first. Are you planning to spend hours or even days doing a complete Pre Delivery Inspection - PDI. New or used rigs can/will have issues.
And is it really the rig you want after you drive off the lot? Absolutely be prepared to do a complete PDI and know a fair price first. This is NOT like buying a new car for example.
I had no problems with my first new MH because the mfg would do repairs and they had good quality where it's understood that almost all RVs do not have good quality. And yes the 72 repairs were completed fast and complete.

RE: Solar Panel Half Cell Discussion
Those panels are very efficient with low light. 92% @ 100 Wm2. Combined wiith the very efficient Victron MPPT contorller the output would be the same as a similar panel with full cut cells.
Half cut panels are designed to work to improve performance with a unique shadow pattern of larger grid arrays and a contoller that operates with both power points. But if starting over I'd look hard at the same panels and the Victron controllerl

RE: Solar Panel Half Cell Discussion
Did a search for solar controllers for half cell panels and came up empty. Anyone found one? ie A controller for 2 power point tracking capability which a MPPT does not have.
Regardless I still believe that these panels are only suited for the unique shade patterns available on a solar farm and not on a RV. But it's a learning process...

RE: Reasonably decent towed vehicles for a Class A
A lot will depend on how comfortable you want to be once you unhook whatever it is your towing and drive around. We looked at a lot of smaller vehicles and decided on comfort, so bought a 2015 Cadillac SRX in 2015. After setting it up with Blue Ox and a braking system, have had about 40,000 trouble free miles dragging it behind 4 different motorhomes.Absolutely. We had an opportunity to buy the current toad all set up and did so. It big and heavy (5400) but fun on the beach etc. Only dropped GPH 0.1 vs the CRV but sometimes in life you just hold up the credit card.
Live moves on and we are going to sell the MH/car.

RE: Flashing light under sink 2011 303BHS travel trailer
Let play guess what that random beeping light is….
Emblethen had a couple great guesses but those aren’t typically “hidden” IE inside a cabinet like the OP described.
Who’s next? Deal me in - Could this be some electronic system like a charger or inverter?
Or HW that was drained? :@

RE: Reasonably decent towed vehicles for a Class A
Problems can occur when towing that existed at mfg. An excellecent recent example is death wobble due to EPS which has less damping than hydraulic steering. Do extensive homework on any car because even as a DIY setup is expensive.
Tom is correct as toads represent a very small market for mfg and that market is quickly ignored when other factors are considered.
