Was out on our 1st camp-out this year with our Good Sam Camping group with our new G384RLT, It poured rained the whole time except about an hour for our setup and a light shower when we broke camp, but what's new in the Great North West  ... A couple of things we found: There was moisture on the inside windows even thought we have the heater running an temp was set to 68 degrees, do not know if was because we had the night shades down in the living area or what, would clear up somewhat after a few hours once we lifted the shades ... Trailer is lacking in places to hang up hats and jackets, rain coats etc, guess we going shopping to get door hangers etc, I hate the sticking type hooks that attach to the walls, they seem to never hold up well and the one's that do you can't get them off without ripping the wallpaper Ugh  .... No toilet paper holder  , looked for place to put one, so I believe in the bathroom panty door is a possibly, or get a free standing holder but then how do you secure it for travel, right now we are putting such on the bathroom counter Ugh .... One other thing I found was I could not get the App to connect to my phone, Ugh even when it was within a foot of the WIFI router Ugh ... Like the old 5th wheel we had it took a few years to get everything in it's place and remembering were we put such. I am one to keep a number of things year round in out trailer, this it isn't a very big deal when loading up for a camping trip and I keep the trailer pulled in all year for lights, frig etc  |

Wet weather like that I hang the rain gear in the shower to dry. My hat & keys go in the cabinet with the control panel, mines in the hall just before the bathroom, I added a couple hooks inside.

Ok Edd505
I am going to buy some hangers that slide over the top of the door and hang down for coats, rain gear like
you stated hang in the shower.
We need to get a shower tray for soap, wash cloths etc and a couple of new soap dishes, all the odds and ends
that we threw away cleaning out the old 5th wheel because they were well used ...
Our two control panels are out in the open, one for checking the tanks, turning on water heater either electric
or gas etc. The other panel is for controlling the slides, awnings, front lights, jacks etc. There is two of
these touch type panels on the trailer, one inside and the other curb side storage area and then another
smaller panel inside the battery compartment that only controls the leveling system an front landing gear.
To boot is the APP to control everything if I can get it working LOL. this APP is sure fighting me tooth
an nail, but we will overcome more than likely later than sooner Ugh.
Should have let the Tech program when he offered, "no I said, I can do it " Ugh, no I'm eating my words
LOL

I have to laugh, I found the same issues with hangers. There are so many cabinets with awesome storage but no hooks! or a toilet paper holder (or a place to put one!)
We added a bunch of over the door hooks, now I am looking for a place to mount small hooks for keys. Toilet paper roll sits on the sink.
I have not had an issue with the app once I figured out the password.
Yeah, it's funny that some controls are on the fancy touch screen, some on regular switches. Took me a while to find everything as well.
I love the living room, so much space and a very nice tv and sound bar.
Somewhere in the literature is a picture and diagram showing how the tv antenna works between the units. The antenna "switch" in on the ceiling behind the tv in the bedroom.
We use dish so haven't monkeyed with the antenna. Plus we have not used the bedroom tv yet.
Regards,
Larkin

Larkin As I stated we also found the same issues with hangers, hooks, toilet paper hanger ... I do not like the sticky type was hooks, they look tacky and never the right color, in out old 5th wheel had them to the right of the door as you walk in for keys. I think I am going to get some small screw in hooks this time an place them under the top cabinet over the counter next to the sound/TV theater ... We also love the living room, so much space and a very nice TV and sound bar, but folding up the leg rests can be a pain since you really have to push on them to lock them back in place to get up As I said in our other post we hooked up cable on our last camp out and it worked ok for cable and also on the antenna. I talked to a couple of other camper in out group and another across from us at the camp ground an they all agree the outside jack antenna are not the best... Most every place we go we check into a camp ground, DW is not into dry camping, if it's not a full hook-up she is not stopping LOL ... So you might say we are glampers no camper So we are going shopping today some time for soap dishes, door hangers, possible toilet paper holders depending on what we see ... Chuck |

Chuck, did you mean rear bumper? Yeah, I always rinse my sewer hose and load it into its own bin that is stored in the basement. Had not considered adding a buddy bumper .
I got so fed up with grainy cable, and non-existent wireless (for Netflix) we finally switched to Dish (at home and in the RV). So far very happy with it, no problems connecting to the satellites. I have had to thoroughly clean and use a contact cleaner on my cable/coax connectors.
My wife just got "Glamping" hand towels and some kind of wall art that says "Glamping"! (t-shirts are next I'll bet) My brothers and sisters are blown away with the trailer, can't believe it is so nice (still amazes me!).
Regards, Larkin |

LOL yep, bumper not bummer, even thought it was a bummer LOL  We have dish at home and like it, Comcast for internet and email, I need the speed since I run 3 computers one of which is a full time automated amateur Radio Mail system 24/7 365 days a year scanning 14 frequencies with two High Frequency (HF) radios and three Very High Frequency (VHF) radio's. I use contact cleaner as well every so often on my cable coax fittings as well Hey good Idea for the Rally, KZ Glamping T-Shirt's or polo shirts with Kz Glamping an a trailer embroidered over the packet on the left side .... Have to look into that As well everyone who walks thought are 5th wheel is very impressed on how big it is, as well the chairs and couch/davenport .... Our camping group is made up of about 70 percent Air Streamers, from TT all the way up to diesel pushers. All of them who have seen inside say they can't believe how nice and well built it is. Their main comment is " I didn't know Kz made this nice of trailer, it must have coast a bundle" When we tell them how much they shake they heads saying "No way, that cheap" we say yep that cheap LOL ... One of the group was looking a M.....a 5th wheel an now I believe they have changed their minds after going thought ours, their comment was the unit that they were looking at was 10K more an didn't have half of what we had Chuck |
