He had a tool belt like Holmes 40 years ago when we met!!!! But at 72, it has stretched a bit out of shape!

We only got hit with 16", so that is just a normal day!

Just dropped off my fiver to Camping World to fix the dragging slide they mis-adjusted back in October. also my unit has 5K road miles on the tires and I have one rear tire that has worn the outer edge almost to the blow out stage. Dutchman said that wear was within their 1/2" tolerance of axle adjustment, I disagree as the other three tires do not show any outer edge wear with the same mileage. The photos show tire wear on outer edge and adjacient tire with no outer edge wear. tire pressure has been maintained and I have TPMS installed

After numerous phone calls to Dutchman, they contacted Lippert about my tire issue. Lippert sent a new axle and service pack to Camping World to replace the rear axle. I contacted Camping World and told them they had the parts already which the service dept was not aware of(gave them the tracking # and who signed for the parts) so now I have a date scheduled next week for the replacement of the rear axle. Next I will address who is responsible for the tire.

Pull the panel on the left side storage compartment and look inside and you will see the power cable wiring, tuck it up and tywrap it and LOL you have an area for the wine rack, I took the front panel and located it to the back of that compartment and trimmed out the sides, added shelves and glass doors.

Latest update on my 2012 Komfort, I have had this unit in to Camping World for leaking slides, The fwd left slide leaked when closed, they adjusted the slide so it closed closer to the top(as quoted on invoice) next they lubed the bottom rollers on the second visit (as quoted on invoice) to fix the binding issue with the slide. After our last trip I parked the unit on its pad with all slides closed( April) we had a violent rain storm the first of April and guess what? the left fwd slide leaked again on the living room carpet. Yesterday (April18) I did a through exam of the front slide seals and fit. I found that the end covers on the four corners of the slide have self tapping screws attaching them to the outside skin, they go into the seals but some screws are shorter and do not hit the wall of the unit when closed. The top left hand corner screw was so long it broke and was sticking up thru the seal. It was rusted so I knew it had been there since mfg. I removed it sealed the hole in the seal and closed the slide. It rained yesterday and so far the slide has not leaked. Looks like another Quality control issue that slipped past Dutchman!!!

Did you just put in a regular faucet from Lowes/Home Depot? We really don't like the cheap feeling faucet in the kitchen and also want to upgrade.

The rear axle was replaced by Camping World, they had to use all the parts from the old axle as Lippert only sent a bear bones axle, so far with only a few hundred miles on the coach its looks ok.

Well I guess it was too good to be true, We hooked up the fifth wheel for a trip only to have a brake not connected issue, after trouble shooting the issue I found that when Camping World replaced the axle they pinched the brake wire between the axle flange and the brake backing plate. After repairing this the brakes worked as they should. Then three hrs down the road the TPMS alarm went off I pulled over and found the left front tire was leaking down because of a puncture on the inside side wall. changed the tire and rest of the trip was fine
