Jadamsgreeson Congratulations, and Welcome!! That looks like a nice park!...

I wouldn't know. I threw mine in the trash last year....

Skidlm I have had issues trying to connect a grill to the provided port on previous RVs. It seems the regulator of the RV plus the bbq regulator in tandem...

jdfritz - That sounds like a locked up compressor. I'd report it for warranty repair.

Jim...

We have 3 units; only the main one has the RV airflow wedge as built. What is interesting, considering all the hype GD has in their brochure about the...

We are on our very first camping trip with our new 2022 2800BH and the 2nd AC is drawing 123A on startup. I have my RV connected to 50amp electrical service...

You are correct. Curt is owned by Lippert....

Coleman Mach for the AC and AirXcel for the t-stat. I’m not sure about the furnace. I will have to check on that....

Just bought a 2021 265BH set up at permanent site. We’ve been looking at Grand Design for a while since my parents owned one for a while. We are super...

I had to adjust ours, no big deal.

I thought I had heard Curt was owned by Lippert now and handling their aftermarket sales. That's probably why they sent them there, but you'd hope they'd...

Hello. I’m looking for help connecting my Coleman Road-trip 285 grill to the low pressure propane connection on my RV. I understand the regulator on...

Welcome!

We own a 2022 247BH. I still consider us new--we've had it since December and now have 4 weekend trips under our belt since mid-April....

That makes no sense--why would Lippert sent you to an aftermarket OEM who won't have a clue about the end item (your trailer's frame)?

Did...

Thanks but I’m in Canada. Closest location is Oregon

I just went through this process. I ended up hiring Creative Colors International (https://wecanfixthat.com/) to fix my floor which had about a 4 inch...

What model thermostat, AC, and furnace?

Colorado springs Valero across from the Loves $5.199. Loves was $5.559 CASH.

Note pump stopped at $100.

Still not shortage...

I have the same fridge the freezer door latches and opens by pressing on the latch handle but the refrigerator door requires a screwdriver under latch...

The remote still sucks. Also note that if the temps drop with weak batteries the remote will go off at random intervals due to loss of communication....

I guess I just cheated and put a valve on the flush inlet. I open and close the valve to control water flow. never really worry about back flow since...

You could leave the prep line where it is and not use it for your install. If you change RV's you may want to take you new stuff out and move to the next...

I am not sure that there is a fuse behind the Touchscreen, I would guess not. There have been fuses found behind the regular panels like I have in my...

I used plus nits on my exterior wall, but there is a product called moly nuts https://www.baysupply.com/molly-jack-nut-inserts . Your finished wall thickness...

I have the MyRV Touchscreen in my pantry. There is a fuse behind that? My main breaker box/fuse panel is in that cabinet on the floor....

Bob - Sorry to hear that. Your approach of getting a patch from under a cabinet is what repair shops sometimes do. Also, check behind the pass thru...

Nice looking install Randy. That should work well for you.

Teresa - Please see the private message I just sent you.

Thanks,

Jim

Neil - thanks so much for the information. That is what I thought but it is great to get confirmation. I think I'll cut one of the orange prep lines...

I mounted that exact hitch to my 303 which has the same bumper mounting method. I’m not familiar with how the Transcend is made.Why is your frame not...

Teresa Wow that sounds absolutely terrible. I think your best bet is going to be Gravd Design customer support. I know you said you tried them already,...

I have a strong magnet I will put in the camper. Great idea.

There may be a fuse behind the touch panel, where the switches are that operate the slides or awning. Not sure what you have for this.

B...

When I installed my front AC there was a 12V wire included in the ceiling bundle along with the thermostat wire and yellow Romex. The Romex was obviously...

I have a 2018 350M. We had an issue with power at the campground (there was a bad neutral to the pedestal). We discovered it when we powered up and...

Welcome, glad to have you join us here.

This is a brand new travel trailer never been slept in and all the pest control have told me these were in the wood when it was built.these beetles lay...

Ya sometimes that does seem to happen. I am just not sure who would be able to tell you the strength of the welded channel.

Brian...

We have the Furrion 12v fridge in our Transcend and it has a latch at the top of the door. If we just push the door closed like your normal kitchen fridge,...

After looking at your photos, I'm going to agree with GDRV that this does not look like anything I've ever seen coming out of their factory. This is...

Hi Brian - I started with Lippert and they sent me to Curt. I talked to Curt about it and they recommended I speak with Grand Design (Because Grand Design...

I hear you Teresa. Unfortunately, these bugs are a real problem and all it takes are a few adults to access the wood in a rig, home or furniture and...

We went in for a recall notice on our fridge. Took it too General Trailer to get resolved. They did a courtesy check and found this issue on the roof....

Hello,

Last September we took our Transcend 200MK dry camping for 5 days in Rocky Mountain National Park. Prior to the trip, we had already...

The Furrion fridge that I have has latches at the handle where you open the doors, does yours not have the latch?

I have moved your post...

I think you would get a better answer from Lippert, they build the frames.

After running out the kitchen slide I noticed that a small piece of vinyl flooring had a small tear near the island. I slid a 1/8" board under the...

I want to carry my bikes on the back of the Travel Trailer, but I don't want to attach anything to the bumper. Curt manufactures a RV hitch receiver that...

Well the replacement microwave has been installed with the help of a neighbour. So far so good.

Thank you for the information.i have talk to service at grand designs and they said for me to call pest control.i have a brand new travel trailer I can't...

You certainly aren't the first to be faced with this situation Teresa. Here is another thread on the same subject:

https://gdrvowners.c...

Jim's suggestion using a magnet is what I was going to share as well. Magnets come in handy for many things in the RV as a number of us learned such as...

We just bought a new 2022 grand design imagine 2600rb in november.and this past week we discovered we have powder post beetles ....has anyone else had...

Thanks for the input! I'll check out the measurements Joseph described.

Speaking of golf, I got my updated spreadsheet of those signed up and we've kind of plateaued at 56 golfers. If you travel with your clubs and arriving...

Agreed to all and I got that Flusher File in my Kit.
I like to open mine slowly instead of slamming the ball valve open at the park source, even...

The flusher nozzle is in a hazard waste environment. Plumbing code requires the break, the separation. If you neglect the flushing process while running...

OK, got it.

Sounds like a good safety feature, but brings up the question, since the black tank has a vent, unless the flush outlet in the...

I'm a firm believer in it. 75* interior temp with 119* exterior temp. What more can you ask for from an RV setup?...

The purpose of the vacuum break valve is to prevent siphoning black tank fluid back in to the fresh water source, the potable hydrant water. It may be...

OK, I need some education here. I thought I was pretty knowledgeable on RV plumbing but I didn't even know I had a vacuum break valve until recently....

Did a search and seems that CalMark is the common theme. Any other recommends out there? Needs to be 41’.

Please post when your new parts arrive and get installed. My relocation hack is still working well but I'd prefer an "official" fix.

Hello,

We just purchased a Transcend XPLOR 247 BH and are looking forward to learning lots of great info from this group as well as getting...

Regarding the back wall. Take a strong magnet and see if it sticks in the screw locaton. This will tell you whether the sheet metal backing is in place...

Well I tried #10 screws and they just push in by hand. Wondering if the sheet metal backing strip was not installed....

Another question...

Note in the info linked by TedS in post #4, the vacuum break requires at least 8 psi to close the valve. Thus, slowly pressurizing the flush system may...

Here's an idea for the location of the vacuum break valve. May or may not be pretty installed to drip into the sink. The screen shot is of a salon sink...

Courtney, over the years a number of us have reported those screws coming loose and laying completely out on the floor from that metal angle bracket between...

There were a few software updates in cc since I last used tire linc. And it seems to work much better. No more communication issues, drop outs, lock...

I was amazed how loud my water tank is when I use the propane to heat it up. the tank is on the awning side of the rig so that would one factor on the...

When the valve fails (not if it fails) I typically replace it with an elbow to permanently solve the issue. I have a brass vacuum breaker (available at...

Something to be aware of is the pressure buildup when turning on the water heater. If a faucet is not opened during the heating cycle, the system water...

Trailer manufacturers are famous for using the drill point screws. The drill point or "tek" screws are very convenient but produce a weaker...

The ones on both my GD trailers were exactly as you say, a lot of 50 units on the purchase order number and consecutive serial numbers....

One important thing for owners to remember is RV's are not like AUTO's when it comes to Delivery and service. Most dealerships only deal with 1 manufacturer...

When looking at the axle tags, compare the P.O. or order number. I know on all of the axles under all 3 of my campers the P.O. or Order number was the...

Thanks I’m going to work on it this week

Good morning Dave I have the ST310GK model and we have the same basement configurations.

If you're in a hurry to heat the water, you can turn on BOTH the propane and electric (assuming the camper is on shore power)....

Nope!

On a serious note (which I gain nothing from)--I'm sure Chad and Tara of Changing Lanes (YouTubers who are Grand Design Ambassadors)wouldn't...

Dave, Their are multiple threads and many videos of the RV Airflow system. Changing Lanes ( Chad and Tara) did an in depth video of the change and how...

Same thing in my Reflection. If I flip on the water from the park service hook up too fast it goes ripping into the water board, up the hose to the VB...

I can tell you that's exactly how mine is. I just pulled it down and checked....

AngKev2013 welcome to our fun, not so little group! The scary thing about this is that they will be the one's performing any warranty issues you have....

Glad ya got it working. I was kinda cringing and was gona +1 TJ don't mess with an un-verified source w/o a reg (safety net) or modify onboard components....

Vincent’s you didn't say what floorplan you have. On our 390, the patio side of the basement is quite a bit wider than the hookup side. There is a short...

While doing a deep cleaning in preparation for a long trip, I serviced the A/C filters in our Solitude. I have done this before, but this time I noticed...

Figured out why I was having such condensation issues. There were two plastic round spacers behind the latch strike where it attached to the refrigerator...

The more I ask, the more I learn!...

Only been on the forum for one day and already such a fan! You folks are great! Thank you!...

We do a lot of dry camping. We only turn the water heater on if we're going to take a shower, then turn it off right after. We heat water on the stove...

It's not uncommon for dealership personnel to do a little "creative guessing" when doing the walk around. Please don't hesitate to ask questions...

Welcome aboard from fellow MLE owners.

I cant imagine that is the issue, but there is no way of knowing since I didn't have RV internet before.....HOWEVER, keep in mind that when the thermostat...

Thanks guys, for the responses. Thanks Howson for the link to the EGS description and video. Very informative. My wife and I immediately went outside...

I will add if we are only using propane it only gets turned on before needing, then it stays off. We only leave it on when we have shore power.

We have just spent a whole week, 8 days actually, with the 12 v fridge installed last fall. The week started fairly mild low 70's and ended in the low...
