Hi All -
I'm wondering if I need to go through the hassle of removing my battery box lid and turning my disconnect knob, versus just turning the main breaker off in my converter. Seems like just flipping the main breaker would suffice? Or are there still some 12volt things going on outside of the main breaker?
Thanks

Hi All - loving our new to us TT but wanted to again ask a newbie question - we get a bit of humidity in the camper after sleeping overnight. On a clear night we can leave windows or roof/vents open for fresh air but this morning its raining. I guess we can leave a window open, but thought I'd see what you all think and suggest.

In my 2016 Sportsmen Classic 190 I have a Suburban Furnace and a really basic Suburban thermostat that doesn't even have temperatures for the heat setting - just lines. It also seems sort of tight on its tolerance - really hot when set to a given setting, then I push it down one line and its too cold. I decided to just put the classic Honeywell round thermostat in its place (the best selling thermostat out there) but alas it would not work - the furnace never fired up. So back to the OEM Suburban Thermostat. Seemed like it should work as there are just two wires - one red, one white - but no luck. I noted in the furnace installation manual this note: "The thermostat used with this unit must have NO voltage output to return leg when there is not a call for heat or in the "OFF" setting". Which I'm pretty sure the Honeywell does - at its basic a thermostat is just a simple switch, but there must be something about the stock Suburban thermostat. So here's my question - anyone successfully replace their thermostat and if so what model did you use? I don't want anything fancy like a programmable or electronic - just something that has better control indicators and a bit more range of motion on the setting dial so I can be more precise with my temperature setting. Having used the round Honeywell's in the past, that's my preference.

Thanks all - I'm heading out today and will be using the Andersen leveling ramp that larryo suggested.

Thanks all for your input. I guess I'm surprised this is so hard to find since there is clearly an inset in the sink that is begging for something to go into it! I found a good company online cuttingboards.net who could make me a custom sink inset board, but the cost was around $100 and while I don't find that price too high, I decided to go another route. I had them make me a large bamboo cutting board and attached 2" furniture legs to it. This is along the lines of what frontrangefish did - I can place this over the cook top and then put my dish strainer on it while doing dishes, but I can also place it completely over the sink area and have an expanded cooking area as well. And since it is large (24" x 18-1/2") this is a good solution because otherwise I would have to find some place to stash it. No need to it - seems we are either cooking or cleaning, but not both at the same time.

I've got my new-to-me TT and I love it so far. But I could use some advice on leveling. I moved up from a 1995 Coleman Roanoke Popup which we loved. Leveling that rig was simple because it was so light we could raise the roof on the axle and then use the ratchet jacks at each corner to level it up. But with the Sportsmen Classic 190, the stabilizing jacks (note I don't say leveling) seem to only do that: stabilize. They don't have enough lift to actually level the rig. So I've purchased some lego-style leveling blocks which are OK. But am I correct in assuming you really can't "level" with the screw jacks on each corner? Just asking the veterans on this forum how they attack this issue. Thanks.

Hi All - just got my "new to me" Sportsmen Classic TT and so far so good. Been having fun checking it out and figuring out where to put everything after 22 years with the smallest size Coleman popup. One big question - the sink has an indentation in it and is just begging for a cutting board to fit into it. But damn if I can't find a ready-to-go cutting board on etrailer, camco, amazon, etc. Anyone already solve this problem or have a source you can refer me to? Thanks!
