Re: Seat Cushions Unravelling - Anyone Else Had This Happen?

Well, by being extremely careful and using seat cushion covers we managed to make it another two years before the factory covers frayed out again. Apparently the durability of their materials was not...

Re: Digital thermostat

I decided to try connecting the 12v power to mine to see what happened and it works fine. Getting rid of that old thermostat was one of the best mods I've made so far.

Now I'm considering another...

Re: Sewer Tank Vent Location?

Well, I quickly located the sewer vent pipe using the smell test :shock: It was the one directly over the tank as expected. Still not sure what the vent at the very front of the camper is for. ...

Re: Sewer Tank Vent Location?

Thanks for the reply. I figured maybe the vents would be over their respective tanks but that third vent up front got me wondering. Yeah, I thought about buying two of those Cyclone vents but...

Sewer Tank Vent Location?

I have a 2011 Gulf Breeze Sport 28RLF and want to add a Cyclone sewer vent to reduce the tank odor. My roof has 3 vents, one over the sewage tank, one above the wastewater tank, and one at the front...

Re: newbie with roof question

I always either use a ladder or crawl so my weight is distributed just to be safe. The roof doesn't feel strong enough to walk on to me.

Re: Needing Tires Already

My OEM tires were junk as well and began separating on the sidewall. I started looking for replacement tires and found everyone seems to love Maxxis tires. I ordered a set for my camper and have...

Re: Dometic AC Control Problem in 2006 Conquest 25RKS

I'm certainly no expert on the problem you're having, but from my limited experience I'm pretty sure your thermostat is bad. Since manually adjusting the temperature ends the cycling that should...

Re: Seat Cushions Unravelling - Anyone Else Had This Happen?

I won't be surprised if that happens with my camper as well. The new cushions don't look any more durable than the old ones and I'm already seeing slightly frayed areas. The material looks like...

Re: Seat Cushions Unravelling - Anyone Else Had This Happen?

Well, I got a call a few days ago from my dealer saying my replacement seat cushions had come in. I loaded up my old frayed ones and took them in to exchange for the new ones. I spoke with the parts...

Re: Seat Cushions Unravelling - Anyone Else Had This Happen?

You know, on one hand I believe in second chances and forgiving people, but that service mamager's hostility toward me was beyond the "having a bad day" excuse. I hope the owners will deal with this...

Re: Seat Cushions Unravelling - Anyone Else Had This Happen?

Well, I finally made it by my RV dealer to check on getting the seat cushions replaced. I was directed to the service area where I was met by a service manager with a really bad attitude. He was...

Re: Seat Cushions Unravelling - Anyone Else Had This Happen?

Yeah, I worry too much about stuff... Seems like a lot of times companies use "abuse" as a way to avoid warranty repairs and that has me wondering what my experience will be. These cushions are...

Seat Cushions Unravelling - Anyone Else Had This Happen?

The fabric dinette seat cushions on our 2011 Gulf Breeze Sport are unravelling badly. We have not abused them at all, but through normal use the covers are coming apart at the edges and pretty much...

Re: anyone know where the reset breaker switch for the slide

My camper does not have a breaker for the side-out, only fuses. The fuse panel is the first place I'd look. The bigger question is why it happened in the first place. Might be good to check for...

Re: Digital thermostat

I'm pretty sure you could wire up just the heater - I could have in my setup with a Suburban heater. The heater thermostat wires are separate from the air conditioner on mine anyway. Just check out...

Re: Digital thermostat

I just did this modification, but I used a 2 stage thermostat instead of the Hunter. It automatically changes the A/C fan speed based on the temp difference. It also switches from heat to cool by...
