Good morning RVers, There's a strange burning smell from the bathroom when using the propane stove top in a 2018 GD Imagine 3170BH. We've been using the stove top to cook our meals but stopped out of an abundance of caution. The last two times we used the stove top there was a strong burning...

I'm venting a little here. I have been to numerous RV Parks and campgrounds that prohibit any work on a vehicle (RV or otherwise) on their property - ostensibly for liability reasons. And, the majority of places we have been prohibit washing RV's or vehicles also. Yet, many parks including...

Good morning, I'm Steve. Traded up from a 2009 Arctic Fox to a 2023 GD Reflection 370 FLS. I'm wanting to install a Splendide washer/dryer in my unit, but there are no markings fir the exhaust outlet. Is there anything in the left wall of the pre-plumbed area that I need to worry about when...

New here so I apologize if this has been asked. Just purchased an Imagine 2970 Saturday. Can we run the air conditioner when plugged in at home loading it with the 110 converter? It has 2 air conditioners and its a 50 amp trailer with solar.

Wife wants to know if anyone has try washing the curtains in their trailer. If so, did you machine wash them, what kind of soap, hot or cold water? The curtains are eight years old. TIA.

I searched the Grand Design Owner’s Forum and did not find anyone reporting this issue. During our last trip which was only 245 miles. I noticed a budge in the side wall between the closet slide-out and the fifth-wheel overhang. After a $200 evaluation at a RV collision shop, it was determined...

I want to upgrade the batteries in the camper to Lifepo4 batteries. Is this just as simple as swapping out current with new? Will the factory converter/charger charge the new batteries? I am also in the process of adding solar with Renogy 40A mppt charge controller. My question is for when it...

I received an inquiry from a prospective buyer of our GD Solitude fifth wheel and they asked me to check the Schwintek slide white rollers. According to the link they sent the white rollers on either side should not be in contact with the slide. According to the article if they are then the...

Hi all, probably venting here, but tired of mice and rats in our GD 2015 369RL. We have tried most all of the deterrents out there: moth balls, dryer sheets, peppermint on cotton balls, sonic devices, cab guard, various rodent repellents, we keep a tidy inside, outside and keep all food stuff...

Some interesting figures in Josh's latest blog post for 2024 sales and production compared to prior years. Mid-range 5th wheel sales seem to be taking a hit. https://www.bishs.com/blog/rv-sales-report-august-2024/

I replaced the Furrion solar charge controller in my TT this weekend. I replaced the the Furrion with a Victron controller. The Furrion controller was located on the basement wall closest to the front of the trailer. I put the Victron on the same wall. When I started this project I noticed...

We had to evacuate because of the Alexander Fire. We had been thinking about purchasing an Imagine XLS MKE17. After a miserable night in a hotel with our two dogs, we drove to Cheyenne, Wyoming and bought the Imagine. We were in an RV Campsite the same night. I have so many questions that...

When he removed his systems he did not label anything, which was nice of him. So I am starting with 6 175w panels on the roof. I found six leads going into the RV from the roof. He did mention he had them wired in three pairs on the roof. But I only found 4 leads in about where they would...

We just purchased a 2019 Imagine XLS 21 BHE. We recently used my parents little RPod to stay at a NASCAR race, it towed great, but it is awful to live out of. It showed us what we didn't want and what we did want. The prior owner removed the bunks and made it into an office. So I am...

I have a 2021 solitude 345gk. The furnace won’t turn on. My furnace worked just fine last year. I’ve taken a couple trips this summer, but didn’t need it until we were above 8000 ft. Set the thermostat to heat and nothing happens. No fan or blower turns on. Just nothing. The stove and oven work...

I’m sure this topic has been brought up before but I couldn’t find it by searching threads. We have the standard scissors stabilizers on our 2400BH. Looking to upgrade the stabilizers to take some of the movement out without prefabricating everything. We do use Xchocks already. Just seems to be...

I have a 24 17mke, When running my hot water it is set to 124. With the shower running on hot it will top out at 124. As I add cold water the temperature will climb to 150+. Only started during the warm weather. I tried turning the thermostat down and same thing happens. Turned off and...

2021 Imagine 22MLE. Kept undercover and on shore power when not camping. Total trailer miles approximately 7,578. This model is one of the best in its size. Camper is a dream to tow behind any half ton truck. Café seating as well as reclining, heated stadium seats. We upgraded the suspension...

Last week we took our 2023 22mle out for the second time. We were sitting by the river enjoying our coffee when we heard what we thought was a tree limb falling. We all went to check our campers for damage. To our horror we found our awning arm had collapsed. No rain. No wind. Just poor materials.

I can only assume that the folks that designed the electrical system in our RV do not live in a RV? Every outlet that you can easily reach in the kitchen and garage run through the same 15A breaker. And that breaker was mounted under the step, making it painful to reset. Thankfully, GRDV...

Good day,I just bought a 2017 Ram 2500 with the cummings diesel to pull my 303 rls 5th wheel,do I need to put air bags in the rear coil springs of the truck,

I have a 2021 Imagine 2600RB and am trying to find out where the vacuum breaker is located for the black tank flush. I have read those can fail and I believe mine has based on zero water entering the tank from the black tank flush. I have read it could be behind the shower handles, but this is...

Been towing fifth wheels for around 15 years. Took the rig to the truck wash and my way back, some "nice" person decided to whip in in front of me and jamb on their brakes :mad: Of course I had to react likewise, but the truck and rig started bucking - never had that happen. Thoughts on the...

Anyone camp near Forks WA? Looking more for State Parks.

I would like to add strut assist to my Morryde step. I can't seem to find any aftermarket strut kits. It seems like you ought to be able to upgrade the steps. Really don't want to buy a new step with the strut option. Has anyone out there updated their steps to strut assist? I appreciate any...
