FYI, ours had none of the brackets installed. All of the brackets were still in a plastic bag ziptied to the furnace. The furnace was just sitting in place with nothing holding it in place. The local dealer said it would be several weeks before they could address the problem. I was able to do it mys...

If propane has been turned off at the tank valve, and the rig has been sitting unused for a period of time, the gas in the lines to the appliances will sometimes dissipate. The lines need to be purged of air. Try turning the tank valve on slowly, then open one of the burner valves on your propane st...

A recent series of exchanges in these forums touched briefly on safety problems that might be experienced if a trailer became disabled on the roadside, especially at night. Normal procedures would be to move as far off the road as possible, turn on emergency flashers and put out emergency reflector ...

I am a bit confused as to why, when hooking up the trailer to the tow vehicle that you would be worried about sufficient power for the electric b...

Greetings all, I was somewhat surprised, after encountering this owners' forum, to find that a number of other people had encountered the "missing rear storage compartment" on the Launch 24RLS. In early 2015 we attended an RV Show and were able to thoroughly examine a 2015 model 24RLS that a dealer ...

Hi Guys, I started using solar panels to top up batteries several years ago when I started using a travel trailer at our hunting camp, which is way off the grid. I mounted two 15 watt solar panels & controller on a frame made from 3/4" PVC pipe. The frame can be manually moved, and the angle of the ...

Hi folks. I found this forum while doing some on-line research on a couple of problems. Several of the posts have already proven informative and useful. Thanks to the Administrator for deciding to hang in there and keep it going. This is a great resource for the exchange of ideas.
