Three weeks ago my 2023 Aspire's infotainment system occasionally wouldn't recognize the update USB, but now it just blinks endlessly without doing anything. Has anyone experienced this specific issue with this RV model's system? I want to understand what might be preventing the update from proceeding. …more

Our 2022 Entegra Odyssey 26M's Murphy bed couch just completely failed at 11 PM and we desperately need a replacement solution before family arrives tomorrow morning. What if I could swap out that murphy bed couch for some fancy theater seats? I'm picturing myself reclining in luxury while Netflix loads at dial-up speeds thanks to campground wifi.

But here's where my engineering expertise (aka zero knowledge) kicks in - can theater seats even work with a murphy bed setup? Do the backs need to come off or fold down? And while I'm dreaming big, I'd also love to get a couple more inches of ground clearance so I stop scraping on every driveway entrance like I'm driving a lowrider.

Am I asking for the impossible, or is there actually a way to make this couch-to-theater-seat transformation happen? And what's the least complicated way to get this thing sitting a bit higher off the ground? …more

Three months of shopping and my wife just pointed out every Super C we're considering comes from Thor subsidiaries, making me realize consolidation might be trapping us with limited service options. It seems like Thor Industries and Berkshire Hathaway own practically every major motorhome brand out there now.

Before I make what could be a costly mistake, I need to know - are there actually any independent Super C manufacturers left that aren't owned by these corporate giants? I'm cautious about putting all my eggs in one basket with these mega-corporations. Should I even care about the ownership structure, or am I overthinking this? I just want to make sure I have options and aren't setting myself up for problems down the road. …more

Finally followed the manual's advice to check the converter first when my outlets died, but my RV chassis battery keeps draining even though the converter tests perfectly. here and I'm at my wit's end with my 2018 Winnebago Vista. The chassis battery keeps going completely dead every few days, even when we're plugged into shore power at the campground. I've already replaced the battery twice thinking it was just old, checked all the obvious stuff like dome lights and radio, and even had the alternator tested - everything checks out fine.

What's really driving me crazy is that this just started happening about a month ago out of nowhere. We've been full-timing for three years without any major electrical issues. I'm wondering if there's some parasitic draw I'm missing or if the battery isolator could be acting up? Has anyone else dealt with this nightmare? I'm getting tired of jump-starting this thing every other day and my wife is about ready to sell the rig and get a travel trailer instead! …more

Turned on my 2024 Entegra Reatta XL this morning to find the house batteries completely dead again despite being plugged into 50 amp shore power—third time this season and I'm done guessing. New batteries, good connections, power was working fine for days then died completely. Voltmeter shows 12.69V on chassis, 4.7V on house batteries at the BIM.

What's the proper troubleshooting sequence for house batteries not charging on shore power? Need to check converter, breakers, and connections but want to do this systematically. …more

Apparently I'm getting charged premium prices for special RV toilet paper for my 2025 Entegra Anthem and wondering if it's actually necessary with a macerator pump system. The RV has both macerator dump pump and macerator toilet components. I typically dump every 2-3 days at RV parks, with occasional dry camping extending to 5-day intervals before dumping.

Given the mechanical grinding action of the macerator system, I'm questioning whether RV-specific toilet paper is actually necessary. Regular household toilet paper costs significantly less than RV-branded products. My concern is potential damage to the macerator mechanism or holding tank complications.

I also want to understand if using a black tank treatment packet every few days is beneficial, and whether four toilet flushes with water is sufficient for tank maintenance. What are the technical requirements for toilet paper compatibility with macerator pump systems? Are there specific regular toilet paper brands that perform adequately, or should I continue purchasing RV-specific products for system reliability? …more

My husband just casually mentioned we're about to drop our entire retirement nest egg on a luxury motorhome when neither of us knows anything about RVs.

I keep hearing different brand names thrown around but honestly have no clue which ones give you the most bang for your buck in that mid-range luxury space. Also wondering if I should buy new or let someone else take the depreciation hit? And what features should I absolutely not compromise on for full-time living?

Just want to make sure I'm not learning expensive lessons after I hand over the cash! …more

Staring down the RV lot this Saturday — should I be zeroing in on Class A or Class C models for my first purchase? I'm located in Georgia and looking for a Class A or Class C motorhome in the 28-33 foot range, with specific needs for my situation.

I keep reading that Class A RVs have more space and amenities, which sounds appealing since I want things like a king bed, a 30x36 shower, and room for recliners. But I also hear that Class C motorhomes are easier to drive and get better gas mileage, which might be important since I'm not super confident behind the wheel of a big rig yet.

I'm debating between diesel or gas engines, and whether to look at pre-covid models from established brands like Newmar and Tiffin, or newer options from Entegra and Coachmen. My budget is flexible, but ideally under $100,000.

I'm planning to tow a mid-sized SUV and take both short weekend trips and longer cross-country adventures, and I'll need space to store my recumbent trike. Would really appreciate some guidance on which type would be the better fit for my situation and skill level. Should I prioritize the extra space or the easier driving experience? …more

The EuroLoft bed lift in my 2025 Entegra Vision is completely acting up and driving me crazy. The bed won't budge when I hit up or down - just sits there like a stubborn teenager.

Weird part is the up/down LEDs that normally stay on while it's moving? They just do this quick millisecond blink and that's it. I already checked the obvious stuff - removed the mattress, no belt issues, nothing binding up. I used a 12V supply to test the motor directly, and it works fine both ways - moves up and down when I apply power with correct polarity.

I checked 12V power is getting to the red and black wires, and when I manually powered the Brown and Grey motor wires, the bed moved up and down. But oddly, when I removed power after testing downward movement, the bed kept dropping until the driver and passenger chairs stopped it.

Sounds like maybe the Power Controller or ACS (Advanced Control System) might have lost its marbles? Anyone dealt with this before? I'm wondering if there's a reset procedure or troubleshooting guide for this system. Really don't want to call a tech if it's something simple I'm missing. …more

Somewhere between my toolbox and my coffee, I'm determined to solve why my CPAP machine keeps shutting down my RV inverter every single night. I have a 2023 Entegra Vision 27a with 2 AGM batteries that show 12.6v at rest, which I think is good? My CPAP has a humidifier and heated hose, and every night the inverter shuts down before morning, leaving me without a full night's sleep.

I'm not sure if this is happening because my batteries can't handle the power draw, or if there's something wrong with my inverter setup. The CPAP seems to use quite a bit of power with all the features running. I do have a 12v auxiliary power cord for the CPAP but no DC outlets installed in my coach.

Would adding a 12v DC outlet and running the CPAP directly off the batteries help solve this shutdown issue? Or am I missing something else entirely? Any guidance would be really appreciated! …more
