Greetings from the U.P. I'd say any of the problems we've had with our 340RL, most of them were items from outside suppliers. You're right, Alliance service is top notch. Not just because they've taken care of us on any issue, but it's just the simple fact that they care. Our last 5r was a...

Once I got all the red and blue shavings out of it, we're very happy with ours.

Greetings from Michigan's U.P. We're planning on going to Florida in early '23 as well.

Wow! You do some serious tailgating!

Nice update, thanks! Might want to consider adding the torque specs of the tire valve stems. Another member had a post that he was getting a slow leak in one of his tires and discovered the leak was coming from the stem. Torqued to the proper inch-pounds and leak went away. :)

When we used to have a 30a trailer, I carried a 50a to 30a adapter with us. The adapter blocks power from one leg of the 50 and lets power thru on the other leg. I've never seen and adapter cord that long, they're usually about 12". Nothing wrong with a longer one, just wondering if it was...

You can close them off until you need to run the furnace. Some people have gotten quite creative and others have just used foam board. We haven't gone anywhere warm enough to warrant me doing it. Yet.

That would be the cold air return for the furnace. Some have closed this off in the summer.

Wonder if those torque specs should or could be added to the torque sheet. I know it's inch lbs, but 2 turns is quite a bit.

Greetings!

You sound like me. Spec says 60 foot lbs. I translate that to 148 foot lbs. 🤣

The biggest problem I have is mama wanting to bring or collect things. Think of Lucy in the movie ‘Long Long Trailer’. 🤣

Exactly what Jim said. You should be able to take the sprayer head apart. Even if you’re not experiencing any problems, you may want to take the bathroom faucet and shower head apart and clean them also.

Wonderful! I hope you guys had a great weekend!

Good evening, Jim. I haven’t answered because we are at a park with zero wi-fi and 1 bar on the phone. I can’t get my laptop to connect to the outside world, so I’m on my phone, typing one letter at a time with my thumb. 🤣 First, I hope you like your 340 layout as much we do. Yeah, you may have...

Hello! How did the trip go?

Happy you’re here! Any advice you can offer to us all who have a problem is a wonderful addition.

If you ordered from Bauer, it comes with detailed instructions. Because the lock sticks out from the door further than the original, you may need to get ‘shims’ that go behind the handle mount, so the handle clears the lock.

I have not had that problem, and I believe you’re correct in not wanting to pull too hard. Please let us know what the fix is. Just because I or others aren’t having a problem now doesn’t mean we might not in the future.

Hello from Michigan’s U.P. ! We hope to get your way and spend some time in the extreme NW one day.

Thanks for posting this Jim. Every now and then I look at the splotches and say to myself, “I gotta do something about those splotches one of these days’. ‘But I don’t know what to do’. Now I know what to do, one of these days…….

Welcome!

Some owners have experience a faulty collapsable valve for their showers. It doesn't collapse all the way and stays open, allowing the sewer smell to come back up thru the drain.

Great job!

Yea! Sounds like a great combination. We're not full timers, but we enjoy seeing the country a few months at a time. Hope you will enjoy this great country as much as we do.

@CharlieO I did the same thing. I also ordered one of their electronic door locks and had the backup key keyed the same as the rest.

Good to know.

You're absolutely correct.

Yea!!! Welcome to the famAlly!

That is a very good question. I just looked at mine and I don't see an easy solution. I didn't want to try to twist too hard for fear of breaking something. Might want to give Alliance a call or email on this one.

There's been some repairs I've had to make. But overall, we couldn't be happier. We're also retired and this will be the last one for us too. We went from a Montana High Country to a Paradigm 340rl. The Montana was a '14, way before the upsurge in people wanting rv's. Going thru some old...

What @Trent Mills said is true. I discovered this after many times listening to the screeching.

I should probably check out the noise and see where it's coming from. Maybe this fall. Right now the A/C's are covering up the fridge fan noise. :ROFLMAO:

I've found the best way to check the actual height is to hook your 32 up to your truck, jacks up like you're ready to roll. Lay a 2x4 on edge or something long and straight across the front A/C extending over the side of the 32. Have someone with a tape measure from the 2x4 to the ground...

Greetings! Wow! Alliance in the U.K.?

Congrats on your 340! We picked ours up in early April.

Greetings from Michigan's U.P. Alliance service is second to none. :)

I've wondered that myself.

It's been depending on who plumed everything up. What you can do is put a good squirt of food coloring down either the bathroom or kitchen sink. When you go to dump, check to see which handle you pull has the color in that water. You'll need a clear elbow or something to be able to see.

Welcome. Glad you're enjoying life in your Avenue!

I would say to tread lightly. 😅 There are 'roof rafters' which are quite solid. Just be careful where you walk. Seriously, if you're unsure, if possible, get someone else to get up there for you.

I know you've been trying to save money whereever you can and I completely understand that. I don't know if the Roto Flex would be better than the Rhino, but I'm very happy with our Roto Flex / Companion combination.

Greetings and welcome to the family!

Thanks @RockingRK. Just downloaded the app. Also downloaded the 'Find a Cat Scale'. Closest one from here (home) is 124 miles away. 😂 At least now I know.

Welcome! Enjoy your trip!

Sorry, forgot about Sawyer. 🙂 We're over near Kinchloe.

Welcome to the FamAlly. We live in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, not too far from Sault Ste. Marie, Ont.

I used a Reese GooseBox on our last 5r for 8 years with out any problems. I know some Alliance owners are using Gen-Y gooseneck hitches and like them. Reese has shocks and Gen-Y has a shock like system. Both are designed to smooth out the ride and protect the frame. I agree contacting...

Hello from Michigan's U.P.! We also have a 340 and really enjoy it. Not changing a lot but doing some things that'll 'make it ours'. :)

It should work. I don't think you'd need that adapter since you already have a long bed. You might want to contact Alliance just to see if using an Anderson would void the frame warranty. Just a thought.

I was definitely on the list. I got my recall in the mail Wednesday. 😂🤣

@Ralph Lowther you're alleviating some of my stress resistance to this project. :) Thanks for the straightforward installation description. Think I'll order those parts you listed.:)

Ground effect lights not working. - If both sides quit then it's possibly a loose wire at the switch. Did you check? Ice maker not hooked up. - After reading several posts on this subject, it appears it's not hooked up at the factory, If a person wants it hooked up, either the dealer does it...

I'm sorry, P4? I don't know what that is.

Thanks Trent! I believe that's the link I was thinking about.

Michigans U.P. I definitely wouldn't be opposed to doing both of ours (or anybody else's) at the same time. :)

Crap @Jim Beletti, I was hoping you'd say 'Hey, come to my house and I'll do it for you'! :ROFLMAO:

I'm going to be doing it this summer and you're right, it's kinda scary. Others have done it. On one of the Alliance facebook pages someone documented the procedure. Sorry, I don't remember which one.

That's what prompted me to contact them.

Nice!
