4 of the LED's are intermittent on my left tail light on my 2016 177. Flash at a different rate as opposed to the others LED's in the same assembly sometimes when using left turn or hazard flashers. Seem to be ok as running / parking lights. Any one else have this? Any solutions?

Still under warranty? If you can, work through your dealer and have them contact FR for a replacement.

Not sure where to ask this so I'll try here. Any idea on a generator?

Thanks, Pat

Depends on what you want to do with it.

Popular choices include a pair of Honda 2000w, or a single 3000w. or the Yamaha 2400w, all inverter generators.

If you want a generator for charging batteries, you can get by with a single 1000w inverter as well.

Thank you. I'm new at this, just picked up R 171 yesterday. Not even sure what an inverter gen. is, I just may want to do some camping in the woods, and also have enough power to run the a/c.

Thanks again,
