If it's like most, the sub woofer is under the steps where that wooden vent is. The vent, a return for furnace, supposedly! Anyway thats where its hidden. Most likely held up with one screw and just hanging there. Others had problems with it bouncing around causing damage to the furnace duct system. I personally would check that out. To gain access on mine I had to remove the panel in the front storage compartment. You may have to straighten out a few other things once in there. Hope this helps.

V3605 subwoofer is up mounted above the fireplace behind the imitation brick. Pull the ends of the faucets & clean the screens. You will find small pieces of the shavings of when they cut the plastic lines. Do the same with the filter at the water pump. Once done the pressure will be much better. Sure was on mine.

Congrats on the new trailer. Where are you going to take it. I would assume that you are looking for some altitude to get out of the heat around Lake Havasu or somewhere where you have hookups to run your AC. If you are going up above Kingman check the traffic situation on I-40 eastbound. I was on I-40 westbound a week ago and they were doing allot or road work. They had I-40 eastbound down to one lane for miles and miles going up the hill. Traffic was creeping along with the slowest semi in bunch. Maybe they have finished the work now.

Have a good shake down voyage.

Unscrew your faucet aerators and clean the screens and eliminate the water savers if it has them. Ours were full of plastic slivers from construction. Our Kitchen pull out nozzle had to be replaced because it wasn't serviceable inside, and was completely plugged not a drop would come out. That was after the 12 volt water pump shucked its guts. It was warranty, my dealer has me take a picture of everything that I have problems with and email to him, then he ships me the new parts and I install them myself and send the defective things back to him. He also pays me labor.

As you know it is hot out there. Did you get 3 AC's in your trailer? Even with 3 AC's it's gonna be a little close. Once you get the core temperature down you should be OK. I have found that a couple of fans to keep the air moving inside make a huge difference in the way I feel when it's hot outside. I always have fans going when it's above 100 degress. In the Voltage, in my truck camper, in my shop. Just thought I'd throw that out there. Let us know how everything goes.

Where are you taking delivery?

[TXGATOR]

Hello Everyone, just took delivery of our v3005 toy hauler. I am glad to see some good feedback as well because I was beginning to wonder. We weren't able to get any reservations for the maiden voyage this weekend because I am serving my Guard Annual Training. We are hoping to get out over the next week or two though. Look forward to reading more from you all as this is our first RV. We did have a GN horse trailer with a living quarters but this seems quite a bit different.

Check the difuser screens on each tap, they clog up real fast and if the is/was any crud in the tank it will get to the screens and plug them up real fast.

The subwoofer is located behind the fire place, There is a black metal trim piece that pop's off around the edge of the fire place. Pop this off and remove the 4screws that are in the corners. The woofer is located inside and look up on the bath room wall side. You will have to set the settings on the sub woofer to your liking. The faucet need's the screen's removed and cleaned. In case you do not know the screen in located at the end of the faucet. I know this because I have already done this plus a lot more.

Most others have given the positive opinions that I agrees with. Took delivery of our 2014 3950 Epic II last June. Have towed it all over the northwest, from Bellingham to Yellowstone, to Astoria and many places in between. I love this rig!
Yes, there were little things I fixed, but I will, and repeatedly have, recommend this rig over others. As I write this I am sitting in my reclining leather seat, watching a movie as the kids sleep in the garage while parked 20 feet from the Columbia River. Heading to the coast in the morning.
One thing to add, as if you didn't have enough to think about, is put new tires on it now. My rig tows so much better after putting better, heavier duty tires on. Truly surprising difference, my wife could even tell from the passenger seat. I went with the G rated Gladiators, but I'll let you search and come to your own conclusions.
Enjoy the new rig, and welcome to the club, safe travels.

I was pretty set on either the Cyclone or a Fuzion due to the use of hydraulic slides, but my girlfriend really loves the interior of the Voltage lineup. She can't stop talking about how fancy the Voltage is vs the others we have looked at. I figure if she's happy then she maybe more inclined to go with me camping. I do admit the interior of the Voltage is very, very nice, almost too nice, lol.

Im concerned about the slides, that's the part of the Voltage that scares me. I'm handy enough to tackle minor plumping issues or other items that will likely pop up, after all it's a camper that travels down the road, so there will be issues from time to time.

Why doesn't Voltage use hydraulic slides, or maybe a better slide system? Seems like that's the only issue i read about on here. If the dealership can cut me a good deal on an extended warranty to cover slides, then I may be inclined to pull the trigger on a Voltage.

Have only had my 3950 since may and have operated the slides a couple dozen times, no issues so far

Happy !

[07dmax360]

Thanks everyone who has chimed in about this unit's water issue's. I pulled the screens in the back sink, and man!!! what a world of difference. Lots of shavings!!! Very small and thin, but enough to clog the system off and reduce flow. I now have a working back bathroom. If only I could get the furnace to push harder, I could get some heat in the garage with the door closed. I will pull the fireplace out when we get home and check out the sub.

Thanks a million, the Rv Community is like family members.

That'll do 'er.

Getting heat in the garage with the door closed may be a bit of a challenge, you need to get a good cold air return, otherwise your trying to push more warm air into the garage than cold being evacuated. Same thing happens in our camper if close the bedroom door, which is almost never.

Have you ever been in a basement where they cheaped out on the ducting and have the hot air in the ceiling and no return air, it's not very comfortable.

You could try putting a grill in the door or wall to get the cool air moving out of the garage.

Well the new trailer is home.Spent the better part of the day at the dealership with only a few minor issues just a couple of cosmetic items that my wife noticed and they took care of.The Main A/C had no flow so i was on them immediately and jumped on a step ladder with a piece of paper and showed the guy no air movement from the vents.The unit was working just fine so i said they need to get in there and fix the ducts which they did.Overall a very good experience and once over with the trailer.Just towed it a few hundred miles and tow great,this weeekend will be the break in and test run.

[soonernation]

Congrats.

Post pics.

We love our 3200.

You are right about that. One of my tie downs broke coming home from a camping trip last month. It was one of 6 tie-down points being used to keep my golf cart in place.
