Things I learned about my U320 yesterday

    • You can tap the handle by the front door and it turns the porch light on. Woa.
    • You can adjust how much water the toilet uses by turning a little dial under the lid. Schweet.
    • The ATS hums JUST loud enough that you can hear it at night in the quiet desert. It is quite annoying and will be replaced.
    • The Viair aux air compressor is LOUD. Probably loud enough that people would complain at night in an RV park. It needs to go.
    • Wrapping the puck light trim in stainless steel vinyl was a silly idea.
    • DO NOT mess with the slide when you've been drinking. This is officially a new rule in the house.

        Many, including me, have replaced with this which I never hear.

        After you level I turn off the HWH and it won't re-level at night.

        I would like to hear the story that demanded this rule be set in place.  :))

        Another forum member wanted to see the slide come in and go back out. Some idiot forgot to put the slide awning back up before doing so. Said idiot is very lucky he didn't tear the awning right off the rig when the slide started going back out.

          Age induced hearing loss and tinnitus take care of the ATS problem nicely, thank you.

          When it is below freezing, make sure you can unroll the slide topper/window awning by hand before running the slide out.  if you can't, there is a good chance you will snap the cast brackets on the end of the arms that hold the awning tube.  It is real exciting when it happens.  Ask me how I know ;-).

          Tommy can you confirm that model# PD52DCS is the one you purchased? Where did you buy it? Google is not turning up much

          I'm sure Amazon has 'em but I cancelled my membership to Prime.  No loss.

          Try using DuckDuckGo as a search engine.  You'll find the results very different since they don't sell or track your browsing history.  Kinda like gurgle used to be.
