    Fresh Water Tank Recall

    I have seen the location of the tank - given that mine fell out due to a failed weld. I have a 32RLS and the tank is located basically between the rear axle and the front of where the spare tire is. Sometime in the next month I am going to drop the coroplast and look at mine for the recall...

    370FB - Beware of the back wall to floor attachment

    You might consider using structural rivets in place of the pop rivets. There is not a lot there for the lag screws to hold on to. I think that the repair sheet for this that Alliance put out specified alternating screws and structural rivets. When I did this repair on my rig the structural...

    Fresh Water Tank Recall

    Correct, I attached 2 pieces of unistrut, one on each side of the rig, vertically from the steel tube below the frame. Then ran a piece of unistrut under the coroplast between the vertical pieces. I used some unistrut 90's and spring nuts to connect it all together. With the 90's I can just...

    Victron Multiplus Update

    That is true, you will have to reset everything back to where it was. Not a huge process, I just made sure I had screen shots of all settings before doing update.

    water tank

    I'm talking with them the problem on newer models has been corrected. If I recall correctly only 2022 models have the issue.

    Victron Multiplus Update

    Just as an update - I went ahead and performed the update to the firmware to version V510. Ran through the configuration to configure the Solar as a priority when connected to the grid. Settings that is used for the AC input control tab and the Advanced tab are below. I may need to adjust the...

    Looking at purchasing a 37 mbr

    I am going to disagree with you. I have never had a company where when I have an issue I can talk with the VP of customer service. There have been plenty of issues, more than there should be. But they have always been responsive to me.

    370FB - Beware of the back wall to floor attachment

    My perception of what was happening is that the sidewalls are moving with the backwall. On the inside you should check the storage areas next to the couch and the cabinets above the couch for damage. They had to replace the storage areas next to the couch on mine since the movement basically...

    370FB - Beware of the back wall to floor attachment

    Actually it is not the floor that moves, it is the rear wall that is moving. When I took mine to the factory they actually pulled the entire rear wall loose and reset it in the correct spot, then got it properly attached. When the rear wall is loose your entire rigs structure is moving side to...

    370FB - Beware of the back wall to floor attachment

    When this happened to me I was unable to use the strap method to get the wall back in place. I secured the wall and made the trip to the factory for the repair. When repairing inside be sure and put larger screws in the floor. I reattached the angle iron to the back wall and it them pulled those...

    Fresh Water Tank Recall

    After a number of emails today I did speak with a Rep at Alliance (as a side note they called me and this is the biggest benefit to dealing with Alliance). They have only been dealing with the recall for a few days so they have no hard information. They are saying probably June before the recall...

    Fresh Water Tank Recall

    Alliance is saying it will take up to 60 days to come up with the proper repair and have the letter approved, then at that point the mailing to owners will start. So probably 2 to 3 months before we see a notice.

    A/C thermistor

    That appears to be the freeze sensor. If you look further up you will see where this plugs in and it should be - at least on mine it is - labeled Freeze where the wires are connected.

    Fresh Water Tank Recall

    Having had my fresh water tank drop out I was interested to see a recall has been issued on this for the Avenue 32RLS and the Paradigm 295MK - see attached from NHTSA. I have sent an email to Alliance requesting more information...........

    New to Fifth Wheeling:

    Personally these are my favorite. They are not cheap but they last forever, clean off easily and do not soak up any water. When traveling I put a piece for Gorilla non-skip material between them to keep them in place...

    A/C thermistor

    I had the same issue with the freeze sensor. You do need to be sure it is fully inserted in the fins. If after inserting, you turn the AC on and it is still freezing up you may not have it pushed in far enough.

    2024 310RL Furnace issues

    It has been my experience with Alliance that you can get work done by mobile techs and they will pay for it - the tech does not have to be associated with an Alliance dealer. You just need to contact Alliance and get approval for the work. I have done this twice with no issue from Alliance - so...

    Bedroom/Bathroom AC Vent Cover

    Bryan - similar situation to me today..... The AC unit in the bedroom was not cooling correctly. I pulled the filter and discovered the freezer probe had fallen out. Easy fix. As part of this I pulled the vent fully off and discovered the following. The duct for the vents was straddling the...

    Check your brakes

    They were $140 each with free shipping when ordered on Dexter's Web site. I just took a picture of the label on the axle, sent it to their support and they provided the part number.

    Check your brakes

    Attached is the Dexter Service Manual. The process for using the E-Z Lube is covered on page 57. As a side note - instead of putting new bearings in myself I purchased Dexter's pre-greased hubs this time. What a time saver, just pull the old hub off, clean the spindle and put the new hub...

    Victron Multiplus Update

    The firmware must be 506 or later. Here is link for info: https://www.victronenergy.com/live/ve.bus:solar-and-wind-priority This will only prioritize the battery charging. Victron also referenced the following as a way to utilize this to reduce energy usage if you are connected to shore power...

    Victron Multiplus Update

    Wondering if anyone has updated the firmware on their Multiplus to take advantage of the option to prioritize solar? I am aware that this will blow out the existing configuration and will require reprograming, but wondering if anyone had any issues?

    Water tank falling off from underneath of trailer at first fill up

    I had mine drop out when it was about 1/4 full, on the highway. Not a great experience. After I had it fixed I installed unistrut under the tank for added support and for added peace of mind when traveling.

    2024 310RL Furnace issues

    Even though the ducting looks ok, you may still have an issue there. It has been noted by others that the installed ducting does not always meet the recommendations. Assuming you have a Suburban heater the specs are attached. Note that it specifically says that ducts terminating in areas such as...

    LEAF BLOWER GUTTER KIT FOR TOP OF SLIDES

    Best and easiest solution to see what's up there, and I use this, get a selfie stick for your phone. Extend it and take a video of the slide out roof and see if you really need to get up there...... Embarrassed to say I own one of those things, but it saves me going on the roof a lot of times.

    Westlake Tires - anyone had issue with them?

    If you are going to file a claim with lionshead be sure and look at their claim form requirements, you will need a bunch of info off the damaged tire including pictures, also note that if you have skirting damage Alliance has changed the skirting color on the Avenue line. I had to order some...

    Short Bed Towing

    Question - I have been looking at replacing the Pin Box on my Avenue. The Gen Y was high on the list. However when I contacted Gen Y they indicated that the hitch was not approved by Lippert for use on a Lippert Frame - Lippert also said this. I have seen discussion about this online but am...

    32RLS Tire Specs

    I have had a 32RLS for a couple of years and tires have been an issue. I previously posted on another thread that I had one of the OEM - non Goodyear - tires blow out while on the road. I replaced mine with Goodyear Endurance ST 235/85R16, this matched the size of the OEM tires. The 235/80R16...

    Viability of using onboard propane system for a portable dual fuel generator?

    Jim, One other thing to consider, on my Champion generator the regulator has a hose with a fitting that plugs into the generator. This fitting has a barb off to the side that slides into the generator and tells the generator that you are using propane - at least in my case, you cannot use a...

    Viability of using onboard propane system for a portable dual fuel generator?

    Jim I have a duel fuel portable champion generator. I called Champion about this and was told it would not work. They specifically said I needed to use the propane regulator that came with the generator and it needed to be connected to a tank. The duel fuel generator are great since you don't...

    windows on Valor

    We have been full time in our rig for a couple of years. Whenever it will be below 40 at night we cover our windows with reflectex. Sounds like a hassle, but takes a minimal amount of time. The material is all cut and we use small amounts of black Velcro on the reflectex to hold it in place...

    Thousand Trails membership

    First, we are fulltime, and TT has been a huge money saver for us. Outside of TT we try and avoid RV parks. TT parks are a real mix. Some are great and others not so much. If you are all about having a lot of high-quality amenities, then you might want to look elsewhere. We purchased a...

    370FB - Beware of the back wall to floor attachment

    You might consider doing what Alliance did to my rig, at the bottom of the rear wall they ran screws through the rear wall into the frame. Also ran screws on the sides connecting the rear wall to the side walls. This was done under the moldings on the sides and bottom of the rear wall. Probably...

    370FB - Beware of the back wall to floor attachment

    The info was part of another post on this website...... Since I had this issue I happened to remember it was out there. My suggestion would be to contact Alliance if you are concerned about this issue and see if your rig was built before or after they changed how they attached the rear wall to...

    370FB - Beware of the back wall to floor attachment

    Please note that Alliance has issued the attached document related to this. I had this happen to my rig. Alliance has changed how the rear wall is attached so this should not still be am issue. I would like to note that the screws in the floor was originally not thought to be an issue, but I...

    How cold is too cold?

    No, I ran flex ducting from the furnace behind the cabinet, brought the duct through the space where all the wiring is behind the fuse panel. The vent just had to be below the drawer. I think I spent about $35 doing this. The air flow coming out of the vent is remarkable. The hardest part of...

    How cold is too cold?

    I have it coming out the side of the cabinet. Used a round vent the you can turn to have the air blow a certain direction.

    How cold is too cold?

    I also have a 32RLS. Have previously posted that I removed a substantial amount of excess duct work. I also added a new duct/vent that runs directly from the furnace to a spot by the door. This is it's own run. The volume of hot air that comes out of it is huge. There is a spot on the furnace to...

    Toilet seat replacement

    We had to replace the toilet seat in our rig, save yourself some $'s, all you need to do is go to Lowe's and get an elongated bowl seat that is slow close. Around $40. They fit perfectly.

    How cold is too cold?

    We have a 32RLS and have camped as low as 14 degrees. We do cover the windows with reflectex at night when it is below 30 degrees. You do need to be running the furnace and tank heaters.

    Burnt Solar Wires / Wire Nuts - Solar Plus

    Personally the reason I opted for a new wire down the chase is that I now have a run to the fuse before the solar controller from the panels with no connections in between. Using the supplied run you have the connection in the roof and a second connection in the front compartment before you get...

    Burnt Solar Wires / Wire Nuts - Solar Plus

    They are utilizing a butt style connector for the recall. Interestingly they are not applying the recall to the Avenue rigs, even though the early ones were built in the Paradigm plant. I just did the same thing you did and abandon this connector and ran new wires.

    Warranty Work (side wall cracks etc.)

    From my personal experience I had to take my rig to the factory at my expense. This included staying in a hotel for about a week. However it was worth the trip to have the repairs done. They do a great job of getting things taken care. Also did the tour while I was there which was helpful for...

    Westlake Tires - anyone had issue with them?

    CornCrib - Mine looked good visually too, that's how I got talked out of making the change. I learned my lesson that visual does not work as a good decision tool on these tires. After the blow out I had all of them changed and the tire dealer commented that the tires did not look bad and were...

    Westlake Tires - anyone had issue with them?

    Probably around 12,000. And I am meticulous about pressure and weight. I check the pressure every morning before traveling. That tire was a complete blow out, could hear it in my truck. Going to cost me about $550 to do the repair on the skirting myself. I did get about $125 back from Lionshead.
