Interior-Living Quarter Issues-

1. AC/Heat- The heat wouldn’t shut off, would just keep on going, even set at the lowest temp. The air would get cold, but not nearly as cold as it should. So I put a new thermostat in it, same make and brand as the first. Then nothing would even turn on. Ended up taking it to Millbrook in Rockford to fix the heat, as we needed it. They said my AC was junk and I needed a new unit?? Well now the heat is doing the same thing again. Turns on and never shuts off. Had it set on 55 degrees, watched it, I was sweating my butt off in there!!! Way warmer then 55 degrees. The pilot would turn off, for like 30 seconds to 1 minute, then right back on. The fan never stopped. The AC hasn’t worked for the last two years.

2. Awning- This is the 2^nd awning on this trailer. The 1^st one blew off going down the road after only owning it a month. It was in Jan and I had never opened it. The figured it was a warranty issue, as one of the locking devices broke. Finally after six months, they installed a new awning. This one has not worked right since they put it on. Now it is broken. When you go to roll it up, it will roll once and stop, once and stop. You have to keep hitting the lock thing to get it to roll again. Sometimes it will roll all the way to the top with no problems, but most times, it does this, and you have to do this all the way to the top. I also have to put snaps in the arms of the awning to prevent it from falling down all of a sudden. The grips on it are way to small and any little wind will make the awning slip and slide down the arm. Last time I used it (Labor Day Weekend 2007), when I went to put it up, the arm towards the back of the trailer, the one that folds down inside the big arm, would not go down. Well we found a pin had broken inside of it and was not letting it down. We finally got that arm down where it was suppose to be. Then, I went to do the other arm, towards the front of the trailer. I was putting it down, when I got it down next to the trailer, a piece fell off the top and hit me on the head. I have this piece. It is a slightly curved black piece that actually helps to lock the awning in place during travel. So now the awning is held there with binder twine! Also, the screws that hold the awning onto the trailer were almost out, so I had to screw them back in, or the whole awning would have fallen off going down the road. Also, why is there no roller on the camper door to protect the awning from the door?

3. Horse Compartment Lights & Bathroom Fan- All the lights in the horse compartment, Stalls, Tack, Mangers, Loading light, are all attached to the fan in the living quarters. They must have a short in them somewhere. Sometimes they work, other times they don’t. The lights will work, if the truck is running, not just the key turned, it has to be running. Otherwise they don’t work on the battery like the used to and they should. The fan will only work when those lights are working on the battery and no other time. They seem to only work when I don’t need them, daylight! So they have a short or something in them?

4. Fridge- The fridge all of a sudden doesn’t work on Electric. I did have it plugged in the other day, and it worked, then the next day it didn’t? It used to get really cold on Electric and Gas. Still does on gas, just doesn’t work on Electric. The freezer door doesn’t stay closed at all, so that doesn’t work as the door won’t stay closed. It is getting harder to light on propane and it smells terrible when on propane. Just started doing this. Smells really bad inside the trailer, and smell outside the trailer, even when the door is closed so it has full ventilation. Almost makes you sick to smell that.

5. Floor- The floor in the interior is turning black all over the place. Been doing it since about 2003 or so. Getting worse. There have been no serious leaks or water on the floor. The floor looks terrible and I keep rugs on it to protect it and to hide the black spots.

6. Shower- The shower door leaks really badly! I keep a couple towels on the floor when ever I have to take a shower, to protect the floor from getting wet, but it leaks pretty bad!

7. Converter- When I had the trailer at Millbrook to fix the heat last fall; they told me this trailer did not have a converter? Now I have no idea if it does or not, but it should have. The battery will not charge while hooked to the truck or even when plugged in to electric, which it should do both. The only way the battery will charge is if I actually hook it to a battery charger. This trailer should charge hooked to the truck or when plugged in. Can we figure this out? Oh and the battery that is on the trailer currently was purchased in May of 2007, so it is brand new.

8. Blinds- Is there anything we can do to fix these dang blinds? Every time I turn around I have to fix them, which is not an easy task. They break all the time even when you are being VERY careful with them to open them. What a pain they are!

9. Fresh Water Holding Tank- This is a question. What can you put in these tanks that gets the odor out and you can still drink and use the water. Sometimes the water that comes out of it smells like the sewer! It gets bad and I sometimes have to fill and drain it four to five times to get the smell out so I can use that water.

10. Interior Lights & Trim- The lights in the nose, or bed part of the trailer, one of the covers came off. I can’t get it to stay on for nothing. A lot of the trim is also starting to come off, getting loose, etc.

11. Dinette- Not a huge deal, just aggravating. Three of the cushions are very hard. One is so soft; you can depress it with your finger. Makes is hard to sit on and even harder to use as a bed.

Ok, I think that is all that is wrong with the Interior of the trailer. You might want to check it all over GOOD as I have had problems with this trailer since I bought it and I am very disappointed about that.

1. Tires or Axles- Can you check the axles? I have had seven flat tires on this trailer since I purchased it. The one that always goes is the rear curb side tire. In fact, it has a spare on it right now! I have also had two rims crack on this trailer. I don’t feel that the tires and rims are heavy enough for this trailer and there has to be something wrong with that axle to make that tire blow all the time. It has always been that tire!

2. Jack- It is super hard to crank and gets stuck. I have greased it and Millbrook has greased it and nothing helps. I have a bad back and I can hardly crank this sucker up. It needs serious help! Plus the handle has corroded and is breaking so it cuts your hand if you are not careful.

3. Mangers- These mangers have leaked ever since I bought it. I brought it up to a sales person and he said they all do. Well I don’t think they should! I can only put things in there that is ok to get wet, hoses, buckets, etc. Makes it really hard to store stuff when you can’t use that for anything. It smells terrible in there and you can see the inside of the doors are molding and look terrible. They leak badly, when you have stuff in there, you can open it up and see the water on the items, such as a bucket.

4. Escape Door- The escape door hinge to open it is super hard. I feel I am going to break the handle when I open it. I have to put all my weight into it to open and close the handle. When it is closed, you can look down the trailer and see that the hinge is bowed and that the door is being pulled out away from the trailer as there is so much pressure on the door from the handle. Inside the trailer, you can see daylight where the door is, when it should be sealed.

5. Plexiglas- The Plexiglas on the butt side was very difficult to get out. We had to break it all to pieces. It was cut to wide, it was stuck in there and it was also cut to long. So now, just to get it out, we had to break it, so I have no Plexiglas to replace it with.
