That is an automatic reset breaker. It can range anywhere from 10-50 AMPS, amperage should be labeled on the side. Most all auto parts stores carry them. Happy Campin....

Virginia18,
We have the same model unit, 2016 315RKD. Do you have the double fridge or single with the corner closet? We have the single fridge so under the corner closet I installed a 120V outlet. There is no 120V wiring in the slide. I removed the drawer from under the fridge to gain access to the blank wall panel under the corner closet. I got my power from the receptacle behind the outside fridge, ran it back around under the sink and fridge (against the back wall) to the corner under the closet. I didn't want to get power from the receptacle the main fridge plugs into. Now we can use our lap top or what ever without having to worry about stepping over cords while at the table. Works for us. One other thing, do you have a wall switch in the bathroom to turn on the light? I had to install one, got tired of reaching up in the dark to find the light. Happy Campin....

marlee,
That catch pin stuck in the door belongs in the wall, like you said grab it with a pair of pliers and pull it out. Inside the door there should be tension clips that grab the pin when the door is closed. Yours must be really tight to pull it out like that. Check Camping Worlds web site and look up United Shade Pleated Folding door #16310d, enlarge the picture and you will see the white pin in the opposite wall. Hope this helps. Happy Campin....

My CH751 only fits the forward facing compartment, one of my purple (double sided) keys fit all the other outside compartment doors with the baggage latches. The other purple one fits both locks on the entry door. The double sided ones can be temperamental at times. Happy Campin....

My CH751 key is hard to turn as well. What I found out is take your other hand and push in on the door close to the lock as you turn the key, seems to take the tension off the lock tab. At least that's what mine does, just been too lazy to take the lock apart and bend the tab a bit. At least this way I know it closes snug. Happy Campin....

Just replaced all 5 Tow masters on our unit, got close to twenty thousand miles out of them before I lost two of them, they were manufactured in Kentucky believe it or not. They didn't blow but had tread separation all the way around, can't complain too much for the mileage I got out of them. I installed the new Goodyear Endurance, made here in the USA. I did however step up to the taller 235/85 instead of the 235/80. They are speed rated N for 87 MPH, not that I'm going to go that fast but I like the cushion. Plus the taller 85's have a higher weight capacity. Just finished putting 850 miles on them up and back through the Owens valley to Carson City with ambient temps ranging from 104 - 107*. They look great as far as wear and I had them balanced, to me it seemed they rode smoother than the Tow masters. Time will tell, another outing is scheduled for Oct. so we'll see. Very pleased with them so far. Happy Campin....

jetzen,
Nope it was a printed sheet from Silverton casino security. It stated I had to vacate within twenty four hours (no time and date stamp), but yet parked nearer the casino were about six pickup trucks with box and flatbed trailers, go figure. The Cracker Barrel, Bass Pro shop and Silverton casino share the parking lots. I parked close to the restaurant side of the lot and still out of everyone's way in the back. Closest vehicles near us were two rows away. Needless to say I was a bit ticked. There are no designated RV spaces at this Cracker Barrel. Interesting that their web site states they have RV parking. Haven't stopped at the northern one, both haven't been open that long. Oh well, it is what it is. Happy Campin....

Watch out for the Cracker Barrel off Blue Diamond Blvd. in Las Vegas next too the Bass Pro shop and Silverton casino. Stopped there last month for breakfast with the 5TH wheel in tow, parked at the end of the lot with no one around and when we came back out (45min) later had a notice on the wind shield stating that truck and trailer combinations are not allowed and advised to park in the T/A truck stop on Blue Diamond and walk over. I don't think so... Won't stop there anymore, with or without the 5TH wheel. Restaurant is small and the food wasn't that great, have never had an issue at any other one across the country. Happy Campin....

chuck, I was aware of the four interior décor choices but not a choice in wall colors. All units we looked at in 2016 had the darker walls, interesting. Could be it was specific to the 2500's, don't know. Happy Campin....

Edd505, Same thing happened to my lift supports, only the bottom frame mounted ones. I reattached them and drilled through the support and frame and bolted them on. Not going to come off anymore. The top ones I added a couple drywall screws down from the top, all good now. Another thing on ours was all the drawer glides were loose. Nice idea with the addition to the ceiling fan. I have noticed looking at pictures on here that our unit has darker walls than most, I find that interesting. All pictures I've seen with newer units have white walls. KZ must have made an interior color change. Happy Campin....

rgb, Congrats on your purchase. We have a 2016 Durango 2500 315RKD with a empty hitch weight of 2,000 lb. Sorry, don't have a Ford but a 3500 SRW Ram with the 6.7. That hitch weight is why I stepped up to a 3500 SRW. My previous 2500 didn't have the payload capacity, was rated for a payload of 2,375 and a GVWR of 10,000. The 3500 SRW has a GVWR of 12,000 and a payload rating of 4,400. So, with that being said as you can see the 2500 after attaching the 5TH wheel only had 375 left to max out the truck. Just a bit to thin for my liking. Once we got in the truck and loaded the trailer we were over the rated numbers for payload but under on trailer weight. Will your truck pull it? Yes but you will be over your payload capacity, what Durango do you have, a 1500 or 2500 series? The numbers due get a bit confusing. Good luck on what ever you decide. Happy Campin....

FYI. Our Durango 2500 315RKD came with a wiring diagram of the satellite and antenna wiring system in the 5TH wheel, it was close but not 100%. I couldn't figure out why the tv in the living area was always a bit snowy on the upper channels when hooked to campground cable or antenna, bedroom was good. Thought I had a bad cable going to that tv. What I found was that behind the radio there was a splitter that fed the tv and radio. Took that splitter out and went direct to the tv and had a good picture. So, it was signal loss due to too many splitters with low signal inputs. Made a antenna for the radio and stuck it in the wall and it works. Just a little info in case anyone else has a similar issue. Happy Campin....

Have you checked your gutter system to make sure all the caulking is in good shape? It is recommended that you check all your caulking once a year just in case you develop a void somewhere. Make sure your gutter system is sealed and clear of debris in the channel and any splices in to sealed tight. Happy Campin....

bc75,
No, not really normal. Is your unit tilted toward the awning? It is most likely condensation from the A/C, are your gutters clean? Could have debris in them causing the overflow, or if you have a splice in them the caulking could have cracked and caused a drip. Happy Campin....

prbffd28,
Welcome to the KZ family, lots of nice helpful folks here. When we took delivery of our 315RKD the issue I had with the Maxxair unit was you couldn't control the speed. It was 100% no matter what you did. Being that our dealer is over three hours away I called Maxxair and explained the problem. Gave them the model and serial number and the date we purchased the 5TH wheel and they sent me a new circuit board (no charge), all good since. Was easier doing that than trying to go back to the dealer. Let us know how it works out, just noticed this is an old post, has the issue been resolved? Happy Campin....

rikopus,
That's how we do it in our 315RKD, back to back with a blanket between them to keep them from rubbing each other. Are they individual recliners or the theater seating? Haven't had to strap them "yet", been coast to coast and no issues but looking at a picture of your floor plan I noticed that your recliners are closer to the rear of the unit so that might cause a bit more movement. On our 315RKD they set almost directly over the axles, could that affect it? Don't know. Our fridge is on the rear wall and things will get bounced around in it from time to time. Guess it's sort of like riding in the rear seat of a school bus, further rearward you go the more movement you tend to have. Happy Campin....

Welcome to the KZ group. X2 on what chuck said, wouldn't be without one. I too have the Progressive 50 AMP hard wired unit with readout. Progressives customer service is great too if you should need questions answered. Happy Campin....

SD,
Check behind the rearward wall in the basement area, that is where mine is on my 2500 315RKD. Not sure how your unit is configured. I too have a bit lower pressure when using the pump as apposed to city pressure. How low is it? I have owned four 5TH wheels over the years and all were a bit lower using the pump. Not much but you could tell the difference. Most pumps are preset at 40-45 PSI and city inlet hose type regulators run 50-55 PSI if I remember right. Like johnr said, if it's that noticeable take it to your dealer. Happy Campin....
