there should be a cold intake usually on the bottom of the tank and a hot comming out the top. you need to run a bybass between them

But how do I avoid filling my hot water tank with anti-freeze?? My wife & I have been all over youtube! I think i'm getting overloaded! lol you should have two valves on the back of your tank, and a tube that runs between them, if not you have to install one

usually pump the anti freeze through the water pump, open all your low point drains, and drain your water tank, alot of good you tube videos out there, bascically all units are the same.

blue grass , if you choose to come to campers paridise, they coud accomadate your 30 footer, probally on a full hookup site, they didnt give us actual site numbers but said they would book us together, or as close to each other as possible. call and tell them what you want, 814-752-2393 pets welcomed with no extra charge. im probally bringing mine. mention that you want to camp with the popup portal group, we get to use of the pavillion free to hold our potluck dinner(S) with enough reservations. if you choose to come to ridge campground at cooks forest the whole front section is pet freindly, , we could start rserving these, as of today looks like the whole loop is opened for the last weekend of april 25-27 or sometimes in late sept 2015 would work for me, if this works for others, ,however, this is a real popular campground, and usually books full real fast.

Shoestring. We are still going to stay at campers paridise for our pup rally june 26-28 some guys have resessie already made and they are non refundable. So we will make the most of it. You are still. Welcomed to join us still. We wil try getting best sites as possible. Just looked at dcnr website our favrorite loop is re opened for ressies. At cook forest state park We stayed in sites 135-142. Last time. That whole section is great. We can hold another kz rally at ridge campground in cooks forest. End of april. If that interests you as well?

Just got home from dealership and after actually seeing the floor in the daylight. It looks better. The air bubble is still there however alot smaller and 99percent better. When you walk on it it flexes. Just a bit. But shouldnt get worse. So im happier! plus they gave me A small monitary. Gift card to use for future rv parts. For my hassle. Going to use it towards. New roof vent covers i think in the spring

I am taking a ride back to dealership tomorrow to take a better look, it was almost dark and raining, and close to closing time. plus i had the company truck and not my tv to bring home. the WIFE is comming along also, if she aint happy nobody will be!!!! as i stated before they said thats the best they could do with it, but i feel its more like thats all they are willing to try, not wanting to spend anymore time on it.

just got a call from dealer, after they had it for 10 days, said all repairs are done, stopped by since i was working in the area, to take a quick look, the air bubble is better, but still there, im just getting frustrated with this dealer, seems like they are hem hauling . he said since the floor is actually not entirely glued down, it is the best they could do. i told them my concern about possiblly ripping, especially with my dogs nails, he said if that would occur, they would addrerss that at the time, and all repairs are documented as to date. im not a real happy camper as far as there customer service goes, but at this point, i feel like taking the trailer, and having it serviced elsewhere from now on, probally wont recommemd this dealer to anyone in the future.

i agree the lift was not needed, but the lift was put on prior to buying the 15 spree escape 196s so we basically have the same trailer, i will check sticker in cabinet to re confirm weight, also will look into E2 equalizer as a reference. thanks for your input!!! do you still have to disconnect round bars prior to backing in campsite ?

Your tongue weight should be almost 400lbs., weigh it. Too little tongue weight can cause sway. I would lose the lift kit. too much $ invested into lift at this point, no turning back now, just have to find out the best option from this point on.

i just recently bought a sree escape 196, the trailer weighs under 3000 ibs empty with a 3500 gvwr max. my tow vechile is a 2004 jeep grand cherokee 4.7 liter v8 gvwr aroound 5500 pounds i have a 3 inch suspension lift on it, stiffer shocks, and heavy duty coil springs, when i hook up, i get very little rear end sag. i towed my 3300 pound popup with the same hitch set up, a adjustable 2 in head and ball, and a right side mount friction control bar only. this new tt tows pretty good, but i feel i do get somewhat more sway , maybe because i,m cutting more wind with a wall behind me compared to the lower dynamics of the popup. i,m considering buying a weight distrubution hitch set up, just wondering if it is overkill? and looking for a reasonable priced wdh without breaking the bank

shoe string, we had our last pup rally at cooks forest state park ridge campground, we really likes the back section, we had sites 135-141 but as of aug 2014 they closed off that entire loop to renovate the first 7 sites into full hookup, not knowing when they expected to complete or reopen that section, we decided to move to campers paridise so we can start planning early, since most people already have several campouts scheduled in the books already. i just looked back on the DCNR web page, and it looks like they reopened the loop for ressies, minus the first seven sites., i am talking to my people on pup, to see if they want to re-move back to cooks forest again, for a repeat rally, i personally like this campground better, the only down fall on this section of the park is that it is a non-freindly pet section they do have a pet section up front of cg, so anybody wanting to stay there with poochie, could still do so, but sites are not as impressive in my opinion. if we deciced to move back, everyone will still be very much invited to join us, we could hold our double rally there, bigger sites, and cheaper costs, let me first call the state park ranger station and re confirm that these sites are now re available. will keep you posted
