Will the schedule of events be added to this post? Will that be completed by the cut off date of May 20th? My wife and I want to attend, but can only stay probably 3 days. The event list will determine when we go. Thanks for putting the rally together. The rally is designed as a week long event. The rally itinerary will be available sometime In July and be distributed to all of the attendees. Each rally is somewhat different and I will not have firm commitments/confirmations from vendors until late June, so right now it is almost impossible to tell you what is going to be going on, on any particular day. I can tell you that the Meet & Greet is on Sunday and the rally banquet will be held Friday evening. To give you some sort of an idea as to what goes on at the rallies look at some of the posts from previous rallies paying special attention to the rally photos and videos.

New owners of a Durango Gold 5th wheel. We are thinking of attending the August, 2023 Rally. Is there a cost to attend the Rally? We understand we will have our campground fees. Thank you for your consideration. You will have an initial cost of the campground fee for the week. Most events are N/C. The events that require an additional cost are R.S.V.P. so you will know the cost of the event before hand. If you choose a RSVP event there are no refunds. RSVP events range between $5.00 and $35.00/per person. The rally is still in the planning stages so no events have been scheduled. Attendees will receive notice of extra cost events as they become available. No event whether free or additional cost is mandatory. You are only required to have a good time.

Thanks jetzen. I checked the plenum and the ducting. Found some trash from the build but nothing to decrease flow. The one side cover was slightly bent so I straightened it and sealed the various leak areas. The temperature is great and the airflow has slightly improved. I will be installing at least one "residential" vent because I don't need the airflow I'm getting in the bathroom. The bathroom is actually the one I leave open for the upstairs heat, plus we also cut the furnace air flow in half by deleting one of the plenum tubes.

How can I find out what size grease seal and bearings my 2021 durango gold 391rkq needs There are numbers stamped on both the bearing and the seal. these are universal index numbers and can be cross referenced. Take the seal and bearing to any reputable auto parts store and they can get you the right replacement parts.

Just so there is no confusion... This thread is NOT the Annual International KZ/Venture rally. Info on that will be coming soon. Be leary of anyone offering things who only have 1 post I’m not trying to scam anyone here. I’d just like to see a rally happen in the northeast area That’s all. And hopefully someone in that group that dose the rally planning would see if there was a lot of interest in having one in that area. I am the organizer and promoter of the international rally. We would love to see regional rallies and would support and help promote them. The problem is finding people to organize and run them who are dedicated enough to see it through to the end. It is like having a full time job, I have a whole crew helping me because I can't do it all myself. So far there has been little to no interest. If you would like to take on that responsibility let me know and we can get you started. If you are just looking for a weekend camping get together with a couple other kzer's, then post it as such but I would do it on a different board and leave the rally board just for rally info. Like I stated before if you want to organize a regional rally I would be more than willing to help you get started.

You might want to check the furnace plenum, it is possible that one of the furnace plenum to heat duct tubes fell off. Also it is possible as was the case on my Durango, that the tubes to duct need to be reconfigured. I had 2 tubes to the upstairs ducts and 2 tubes to the downstairs ducts. I reconfigured it to be 1 tube upstairs and 3 tubes downstairs to get more flow into the main living area. We were getting blasted/overheated upstairs. As all the heat will eventually find it's way upstairs anyway I directed the majority of the airflow to the main living area. I also swapped out the floor registers with residential ones with a damper/shut off so I can even further direct air flow, and when running the A/C the floor registers are closed off to help minimize the loss of cold air from the Air conditioner. These can be found at Home Depot or Lowes.

To each their own, we use all of em, the oven, the microwave (it would be nice if it was a bit lower) and have added a toaster oven. But then we aren't big on going out. I am the same as you we use the microwave/convection oven and the regular propane oven. We eat most meals in and utilize all of the appliances. We have also added to the arsenal of cooking tools, such as a 6qt electric pressure cooker and a 6qt air fryer.

My Samsung residential fridge died 2 years ago. It is not fixable according to repair men. Problem is it is stuck in my 2016 KZ Durango 325 5th wheel. Appliance movers tried everything to get it out the front door. Dismantled and all the angles are off and it is 1/2” too big. So I have been using a mini fridge for two years…. please help, as this is my residence currently… Thank you in advance! If you have an 18 cuft Samsung french door refer with a freezer on the bottom with a 30" entry door in the trailer you will need to take the doors off the refer and the freezer drawer out in order to get it through the entry door of the trailer. If you have a 28" entry door on the trailer you will need to remove the dining room window and take it out that way.

Depending on the year and whether you have a Durango Gold, Durango or Venom is how many outlets work off the inverter. My 2018 Gold has 3 + the refer or all in the kitchen area of the slide. I believe in 2019 the Golds started all the kitchen + refer and all GFI outlets And the 2022 Golds all outlets though out the coach work off the inverter.

We have not had any problems with our shower door...That being said I hate it, hard to clean, it's glass and always second guessing myself if i have it locked in place correctly when traveling. I don't like the idea of having a shower curtain that is the reason why I haven't done anything with it yet. So this shower door you installed, it it like the same concept as a roll top desk...A plastic/vinyl type door that rolls up into the one end? And could you be more specific as to the manufacturer and where you purchased it?
Thanks in advance

'21 383RLQS; want to install an ethernet smart plug between kitchen slide and window. Can I expect another stud in that small space? The best advice I can give you is to look at the outside of your coach on a heavy dew morning. The difference in temp between the fiberglass outside wall and the aluminum framing will outline where the framing runs by not having any condensation on it. I have the older version of your model and while the kitchen slide is the same, the window in that slide is in a different location than yours. I am almost certain there are 2 vertical studs in my kitchen slide. Because of the placement of the window the framing may be different.

My 2020 durango 286bhd doesn’t have a gateway or I can’t find it Depending on the year of your Durango and what One Control.sytem.is installed it will either be right inside the curbside basement door mounted to the ceiling of the basement or it will be behind the rear basement panel mounted to the underside of the interior steps.

I am trying to connect our Durango to the OneClick app and it will not pair. I have tried scanning the QR codes, but they will never capture. I have entered the ID and password manually but it will not work. I also tried scanning the tirelink QR but it also doesn't work. I have the newest app version (v5.1.3), updated 3 days ago. Anyone have any suggestions? Your phone must have the location setting turned on in order for it to be recognized by the One Control app.. Also if you have an Android phone you must have Android 8.0 or higher operating system in order for the One Control app to work.

Just a guess but does your unit have a portable remote control for electrical functions??? The older Durango models had a remote control for some exterior functions like electric jacks, awnings, exterior lights.etc.. If it does the light may have unknowingly been turned on by the remote. The remote will override all manual switch functions. Example if the porch light was turned on by the remote it can only be turned off by the remote.
