    • @BrailsfordsRides
      @BrailsfordsRides  9 місяців тому +3

      The general maintenance isn't terrible, if by stationary purposes you mean living in for a period of time you will probably put more wear and tear on it than we did but the camper is definitely a bargain compared to others.

    You don’t need to drop the tank.
    You can buy a standard flange from Home Depot, Lowes, etc…glue the flange to a 3 inch PVC pipe that is then seeded into a rubber gasket that’s attached to the black tank.
    You should be able to pull it right out, the flange that is that’s attached to the PVC pipe.
    Or…it could be screen-threaded to the tank. If it has give, it’s threaded rubber gasket.

      @@deedeeotero4475 I was not happy with the quality of my camper with the toilet flange either breaking immediately or being broke when I bought it. Then they told me it would be covered by warranty and said they can do it the same day. They then bought the wrong part and did a make shift repair when they realized the repair was bigger than they can handle in a day. Then they called me and said the warranty repair was denied so I was left scared wondering if they were going to charge me for a days work to not have my camper fixed plus I paid for all the gas to get to camping world an hour and a half away

    Trust me. Buy the ceramic bowl toilet and do it yourself. It will be stable. Also, you don't need to drop the black tank for any of that. Ours had the same problem, we have a 2019 Springdale 260bh. The toilet was actually leaking from under it. We though originally it was a connection...NOPE...cracked flange at the bottom. Hubby took it out. We replaced with a higher grade toilet and it hasn't rocked or leaked since. Hubby is your size and has used it a few times with zero issues.

    FYI, that CW 10,995 is you driving to Indiana to pick it up as-is with no safety walk through, no fixes. You just get what you get. Hopefully knowing that gives you a little less buyers remorse about paying more than that. Also, for reference, our local CW matched that 10,995 and it was STILL almost 16K OTD due to fees. That was a month ago.

    What do the power inverter power while in 12V? I just bough one and if the awning and water pump are 110v, that's the only thing that works with the power inverter. The fridge is 12v so that works and lights. Other than that no microwave, a/c and no outlets. So fot what is the inverter for?

      Bought a 2023 17 r last year. Left N.C. and went cross country. The only camping world that was decent with warranty was in Cheyenne Wyoming. They make a special drill bit to remove the flange. It will not deal with camping world after the warranty. Good luck . We do like our unit but not camping world

    I currently bought a 2023 and it’s leaking out the bright rear end. Does anybody have any idea what is causing this leak? I noticed seepage coming from underneath the bed area and towards the door but when you flip up the bed cubby area, there’s no water there so I cannot figure out where the leak is. Is it at where the hose goes into the RV? Is it leaking somewhere there or is it the pump or is it the freshwater tank, can someone help me with this?

    We have a brand new Coleman Lite 2755BH. The toilet was installed incorrectly when the camper was built. The hole for the plumbing was cut too close to the wall so they couldn't install the toilet the way it should be, because of this they installed it facing the sink and the lid wouldn't go all the way up. You have to sit doubled over. We returned it to CW and were told that Dutchman won't fix it because it's not malfunctioning. ITS BRAND NEW and we can't use the toilet properly but they are OK with that. The Wingard 360+ on the roof is just a bubble, they never put the antenna in it and they aren't replacing it. The tire was flat when we bought it. CW assured us it was fine and put air in it. A week later it's flat again and they won't replace it. CW is awful but so is #Dutchman @dutchmenrvcompany8749
