New Purchase-2002 Trailmanor 3023
I posted a question last week, and said I would do a proper introduction when I got a moment. My wife and I have been looking for a camper for about 6 months now. I wanted a pop-up just to try out camping and see if it is for us, the wife, who grew up with pop-ups, wanted no part of wet, smelly canvas again. Had never heard of a Trailmanor even 3 weeks ago. Thanks to the wonders of Craigslist, found a 2002 3023 about two hours away in Florence, SC. After researching these units, we were immediately sold on them. We have set it up in the driveway each of the past two weekends. Here is what we have accomplished, and another list of what is yet to complete.
So far:
Replace exterior door knob, unit did not come with keys
Fix ground on both rear tail lights
Fabricate license plate bracket
Sanitize water system
Un-seize all hardware on both stone guards, wing nuts were seized to threaded bolt
Install Carbon Monoxide detector
Replace Fire Extinguisher
Fix oven door
Lubricate all moving metal parts
Clean, clean, clean
Yet to do:
Grease wheel bearings
Replace tires ( date code is 2005, yikes! )
Repair awning, knobs will tighten, but the arms will not lock in place
Fantastic fan is not working, will check vent opening switch
Bathroom fan is not working
Replace battery, unit came with 5 year old Group 24, will upgrade to Group 31, waiting on Amazon to ship larger battery box
Looking forward to getting out in the next month or so. Previous owner had unit hooked up to power when we purchased, so we were able to verify that A/C, water heater and fridge all worked. I have not tried to run the propane system yet.
This forum has provided much help and support so far. Thanks
