A large van or a couple minivans for transportation, and we had 13 units in 2018 so we are not a huge group. Having it further west I would hope to gain a few, but maybe lose some. Not sure on numbers yet still polling the group. thx

Camp ground, with hook ups I think would be required. By front range I assume you mean East of the Rockies? If so then yes East of the Rockies. We are small MHs and most don't tow so some transportation will have to be arranged for those wishing to make day trips. We lacked this in Memphis. I'd...

What is the best place in Colorado to hold a rally. We are Winnebago Trend/Viva owners and are looking for location not too far West to hold a rally. We did West Memphis last year and would like to draw a few more owners from the West this time without excluding our Eastern attendees. I have no...

Reply from another Trend owner, about a dozen of us so far with Onan gen carb problems. Hi Mike, Our Viva is at the dealer now mainly due to the generator starter failure leading to the carburetor over priming and now so claimed gunked up because of that. The carburetors are currently on...

Winona, your heater is under the galley counter just in front of the cook top, and to the outside of the sink. A look at the space under the counter would indicate if there is room for the new heater. Worse case you would loose a couple inches of storage space under the sink.

To respond to whiteva, the valve looks great if you have hot water coming to it. The Girard temp has to be regulated with the flow of water. Too much flow and the water is cool, to little flow and the water gets too hot tripping the over temp limit switch and the gas is shut off which means the...

Another issue I had with Girard was the vent fan. When the gas comes on a fan vents the exhaust gases and the fan sounds like it is out of balance. This was of my complaints to my dealer. His comment was he too thought there was an issue, and he tried several on his lot and they all sounded the...

Good point.

The Suburban 6gal gas electric, used to be model 5058 fit the screw hole pattern but was, with plumbing fixtures, too deep to slide in without making changes to the storage locker below the cook top. Mine is a 23B, not sure how the 23L or D is designed, but on the B there was a cheesy storage...

The gen 2 has a analog system where switches determine temp limits and temp regulation. The Gen 3 has a digital control with a digital display. According to Girard support, if you got the gen 2, that does not work due to poor design,  installed by the OEM your tough luck. You'd have to buy a...

Not hostile at all, as I said not critical, no idea what your skill set is. I've seen metal aircraft burnt in half from electrical fires. Looking at a wood box with power relays brings up those visuals. You did good work and to be commended for taking on the challenge. Again, enjoy

Well I guess I did over look that they were without a permanent address, in which case, good luck getting chat or phone help, and buy a new deck of cards monthly, you're going to need them! We had DTV for a short time, and it was easier to change locations, just needed to know the Zip, but...

What am I missing guys, local channels come in over the air. Changing my service address upsets the programs I have scheduled to record. Changing the service address cancels the local channels at home.

That seems to be the way I'm headed. 9280 More expensive, but you don't get what you don't pay for.

I had to make room or get rid of the Trend. It drives so great I made the mod.
