One more thing--the water heater has a switch under the outside cover which you will have to cut on to heat water. Once you have hooked up to water you will have to open the outside cover to cut your water heater on. Had I known this I would have saved a lot of confusion my first time out.

Easier to leave that outside switch on, and then use the circuit breaker on the converter to turn it on/off.

My son and I are picking our 178 up on Wednesday. Been surfing the web and checking out this site. We've been tent campers for a long time, but this will be our first time using a trailer. Kind of interesting that Forest River only has a simple and generic owners manual for something which has so many features and accessories. We're travelling from Connecticut to Pennsylvania so two nights in a camp ground near the dealer should assure us to be able address questions or issues easily.

Welcome.  Check out the link in my signature for our attempt at a more precise manual.
