2015 Camplite 28BHS Photos

[funpilot]

I was told to look at the 5th wheel trailers pics in the gallery section on the website to see what the leatherette looks like.  I did not like it so asked for the old cloth that icq102 has.

[p]Found some stuff on the monitor.  First, I think this is the technical stuff on it (attached).  Second, it sells for around $35.00.  Third, I found this in a forum:[/p][p]
[/p][p]KIB just emailed me a nifty trouble shooting guide for the systems monitor, thought I would post incase anyone else has same concerns as me.

 For systems monitor manufactured Jan '92 and later, the LED light will come on when the following voltages are seen in the coach batteries.

 C - CHARGE 12.7 volts
 G - GOOD 11.9 volts
 F - FAIR 11.2 volts
 L - LOW 6.0 volts [/p]

Any requests?

Any suggestions on uploading the photos?

[/quote]I'd like to see a view into where the bunks are (bunks up) from the inside to see the door.  Is there any space to walk around the end of the bed? Did you also tell me that there is a battery monitor or something like that?  (Pics of the extras you were surprised to find is what I am looking for.) Ahh, I remember one more thing.  You said you were surprised that the slide out went out further than the slide on other Livinlite campers.  Can you show that?

[font size="3"][font face="arial"]ICQ102,

Thanks for the info and pics of the 28BHS. You're the first one here and we're all interested. Enjoy!

TT and I both installed the SeeLevel 709 monitors made by [a href="http://www.rvgauge.com/rv.htm"]Garnet[/a]. They use a totally different technology that does not use the internal tank probes which give so much trouble. They're easy to install and provide very reliable operation. The cost is less than $200 plus installation. Both TT and I installed them after delivery and the hardest part was running the wires. That part is in place for you.

The pictures of the bathroom sink with the tape measure are very helpful; now I need to  track down a 16 DBS at a dealer so that I can determine if that sink and counter will fit; if it does, I  will add that to my list of desired 'special order' options when I call LL.     When checking  the picture gallery of a LL fifth wheel at the LL site,  to see what the "upgraded leatherette' looks like, I  also saw that they have a base cabinet with what I assume are plastic tubs on rigid slides;  that might be something I could add myself.  Thanks for posting the pictures.

Sofa bed. 54 inches wide x 62 inches long


[/quote][font face="arial" size="3"]Seems strange LL turned the sofa bed so it totally blocks the walkway and ended up with a 62" bed. [/font][font size="3"]A better way would be to turn the sofa 90 degrees so it could be at least 72" long for an adult and leave 10" to access the bath and fridge from the main bed. They could figure how to deal with the L shaped dinette.

John: How wide, left to right when looking out the window, is the slide between inside wall surfaces above the arm rests/back supports? For reference the 21RBS measures 76". I think yours must be 100+ inches. The depth of the21RBS slide is the same as yours, 26+ inches.

The sofa sleeper can only accommodate one adult but if that adult sleeps diagonally, they should have about 82 inches of stretch room.
