Title: Fresh water drain valve
Post by: kycamper on October 29, 2014, 12:49:44 AM
As I have said in other posts, we have owned our Camp Lite 21 RBS for only 10 days now.
While we were testing it out, I contacted my dealer and asked where the drain for the fresh water tank was. Found out it is under the trailer! This fat boy don't like crawling under the trailer to drain the water. Has anyone added a hose/ valve to the side of the trailer, like most all the other units I have seen? Any concerns about me backing the existing valve out without damaging the threads, etc?

Also, I told our dealer that the table that came with the trailer must have been a mistake, or a very bad joke from the factory. It is either too high for the couch, or the couch is too low. Anyone have any good table mods to share with me. I am toying with raising the sofa and moving it forward to allow us to store the table behind the sofa. My with thinks the table is a piece of junk. I kinda agree.

Lastly, the t-stat that came with the trailer is impossible for my wife to turn on or off, and even I struggle with the switch. It is just a matter of time before I accidentally break it. Any ideas of a replacement, name of product, source??

I've gotten many good ideas from y'all already. Thanks, and Happy Trails!!

I have to agree with you on the table, not a good design. Perhaps some cushions? Going to watch this thread as these are good questions.

We too just got our 21rbs and have only had a couple of trips in it.

I agree the table leaves a bit to be desired.   I am trying to convince wifey to ditch the table in favor of a couple TV stands.   I think they would be smaller to store and easier to take outside.

The thermostat is complete crap.  I did find it hard to switch on/off also, but if you give it a slight tug away from the wall then push in the on/off direction it seems to go more easily.  It's also very hard to adjust to any desired temperature.  I just ordered a cheap non-programmable digital Tstat off of amazon that should take care of that issue.

We don't have the sofa, but we keep [a href="http://www.amazon.com/GCI-Outdoor-Compact-Table-Chrome/dp/B00HKCXVWU/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1414595654&sr=8-9&keywords=camp+table"]one of these[/a] on board for extra counter space when we are inside. I would think a pair would work nicely.
