Dig out your refrigerator owner's manual and read paragraph 5 of the warranty and then review appendix f. The two year warranty is really a 1 year warranty with a second year "IF" you have an authorized Dometic service center perform the required annual maintenance. Catch 22? Depends on how you read it..... YMMV

What has been your impression on the trailer so far? I have a Hideout 28RKS that is pretty good (had no issues so far!) but almost immediately found myself wanting some of the benefits of a fifth wheel and the rear living layout has always been a favorite of mine.

Maxxis, great tires, had them on last travel trailer. eBay was by far cheapest place to but.

The laser thermometer, such great advise. I use it all the time, check tire and brake temps.

We are getting ready to start our second season with the Hideout really no major issues. So far I did have to...

1. Replaced the control board for the water heater, replaced the chinese crap with the Dinosaur Electronics board.

2. The CO detector failed and beeped all the time so I replaced that too.

3. Added the gas lift cylinders to the overhead cabinet doors because it was a pain in the butt trying to hold the door open and get things out with one hand. Pretty cheap, only about $4 each on Amazon.

4. Replaced that useless stock bathroom fan with a Fantastic Fan. Huge difference, best upgrade I could have made.

5. Replaced all the outside cylinder locks with a better lock that isn't a 741 Key.

Otherwise no issues at all. So far no leaks, tanks are good and everything seems fine. This is our fifth RV, we have had two popups, a hybrid camper with the pull out bunks, and a Forest River Wildcat 5th wheel. They all have had their problems so the Hideout currently has been a treat. Probably getting new tires soon, Kenda Tires came stock, not too sure about them so best to replace.

Did you mean the CH751 locks? What did you replace it with (that is better) - I hate those locks, as they are so difficult to operate.

I had CH751 locks on all storage doors until today. They sucked at first but once I blasted them with WD-40 they worked worlds better. I still replaced them all today along with the main door latch with RVLock ones all keyed the same.

Yeah, I mean't the CH751 locks. Wrote that reply at work and had a brain fart in my haste. I ordered the following locks from Amazon to replace the originals. They are still cylinder locks and look slightly beefier. The thing I mainly chose them for was the fact that they used a different key than the CH751. As we all know these will only keep the honest people out anyway but at least I know that there is a better chance that every dishonest RV owner on the planet will not have the key to my compartments.

Congrats. We just purchased a 2019 Hideout 303rli in February 2019. Interesting that yours has load range D tires and not E. Ours has Karrier Tires 225/75/15 load range E and has GVWR 11,400 pounds and yours has GVWR of 11,200. I came from a Forest River product. No issues I have discovered yet. Did add a TPMS and have an infrared thermometer. Did not come from factory with battery disconnect so I added one

Do you have details on the size cylinder or, even better, a link? Thanks!

Here is what I purchased lifting cylinders, unfortunately Amazon lists them as currently unavailable...

https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/...?ie=UTF8&psc=1


Specs as listed on Amazon are:

Lids soft open gently,Ideal for supporting the lid to keep it open
Force:18 Lbs(Per Strut),Length (Center-to-Center):7 inch(180 mm),Compressed Length (Center-to-Center):5.12 inch(130mm)
Support opens lids to a maximum angle of 90 degrees.

I haven't had the time to research but I would guess that Amazon or eBay might stock something similar in terms of specs and price.

Thanks so much for the info. This gives me a great starting point to bypass those one-handed cabinets.
