Found a gotcha when checking out the new rig today. When storing an RV with the possibility of a hard freeze, remember to empty out the canister of your whole house water filter (if you have one). The bottom was broken out and when the water was turned on, yup, flooded basement. Just another line item for the check list...

Cheers,
Chris and Helen

Chris/Helen---Many thanks, I thought I was the only person to learn lessons in that manner--- Isn't it exciting to be learning new things every day about Fifth wheeling????? The challenge is apparently endless, but the up side is it keeps us seniors alert.
Hope you are enjoying your Kargo. I'll never forget the impression I got when I saw the prototype being built---DW thanks it will make an excellent sewing room

our "oops" was the little hand wand that attaches to the toilet. I ran "pink stuff" through everything, except that line.

At least the broken hand sprayer was only about 6 buck at Lowes
