Great! I could not see that in the picture. It was one thing I suggested to my dealer. Forest River sent a replacement fender which was installed on mine because the original one was scratched from people opening the door too wide, presumably while it was being shown at the dealer's. I am glad Forest River saw that a stop was needed. My suggested fix has been rendered moot.

Congrats on all the new deliveries. We'll have to open a maternity ward around here.

One positive on the built-in awning, it should be much easier to open it up on a rainy day so the side window can be opened up all the way for ventilation.

Here's a tip:
Take some rubber door edging and put it along the bottom of the door. A piece about 2 or 3 inches long will suffice. Use some silicone to glue it in place. Place it so that it will protect the door edge and fender if the door is opened too wide. It looks like there is still no stop to prevent the door from hitting the fender. This will address that so the fender does not get scratched up by the metal door edge.

If it isn't too difficult to get to the fittings, you can simply unscrew them from the kitchen sink faucet and from the shower and reverse them. For the outside shower, I added 90 degree elbows for the shower as the lines were just taken up and bent to connect. When I removed the panel to look, I saw evidence of leakage. Since I was going to take it apart anyway, I thought I would fix it right.]]> Fri, 04 Nov 2016 19:36:30 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8921&PID=84427#84427 Ok I'm ready now..... : We got it and its all set up in... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8921&PID=84422#84422 Author: blimey

Thanks for the info.

Camping in my driveway would like be frowned upon by my HOA.

But connecting to 15AMP to get fridge cooling down and for cleaning is needed.

If I find I need the A/C (for prepping, cleaning, etc), then guess I'll need the 30AMP as well.

Congrats to Blimey - we've both been waiting for seemingly forever.

The answer is yes as long as you don't use more than 15A. That means no AC. The microwave, electric water heater, or plugin electric space heater are usually OK if used by themselves. Converter, lights, fridge, radio, vacuum cleaner are all fine even in combination on a 15A circuit. The dedicated 30A circuit is just so much handier.
