I’ve never been asked the age or condition of my FF. At 17 years, it’s definitely less glamorous than many of the newer makes and models but still in decent condition. I keep it clean and have...

My ‘07 x210 has three low-point drains, one just beyond the water pump but before the check valve (that prevents water back filling the fresh water tank when hooked to “city water”). The other two...

Hey there Jesse. Don’t be so quick to toss your GF under the bus! I don’t see how it’s possible to be her “fault”. Something else is amiss. First off, the tank should be able to hold its full...

We’ll, it’s been a while since the last post AND since I’ve taken any action on this issue :-(. Life, sadly, has gotten in the way of even the possibility of camping this Summer. Additionally,...

Just what’s involved with “dropping” the tank? What kind of connection comes into the tank from the kitchen sink? I definitely agree that a proper repair would be easier with the tank removed!

Gray water tank damage

After picking up my FF from the storage barn, I noticed some damage to the gray water holding tank and to the tubing coming from it. (See pic below). Fixing the PVC tubing should be easy enough but...

If the PO only kept it in the “backyard” for relaxing, I agree with LJAZ in that the male plug can go back to being a 30 Amp plug. While replacing the converter is a common “upgrade” with many here...

Surprised to hear about mouse issues in the Summer months! There must be some sort of “attractant” that pulls them in. I hope that your new deterrents do the trick. I bought a box (160 count) of...

I’m assuming that you’re referring to your gas furnace. Suburban is a likely OEM furnace provider but can’t say for sure in the case of the 139 series. First thing that I would do is determine the...
