New Carbon 417, any input?

[Alaskaman]

We just purchased a new 2017 Carbon 417, waiting for a Superglide hitch to be delivered here in Alaska so haven't had an opportunity to find out about any peculiarities.



Anyone have any experiences, good, bad or ugly with these units? A little late for buyer remorse, but good to hear from others.


Thanks!

someone posted a similar query a couple weeks ago. I was the only one who responded, but if you want to read it, here's a link:

oh, one thing I forgot to mention in that post was the 50 amp receptacle was mounted 90 degrees off, so I corrected that myself.

Thanks Matt, I saw your thread reply about the 357.


Oddly enough my receptacle is off 90 degrees as well! I haven't gone out to look into turning it yet.

It's easy to rotate it, but they don't leave you any slack to work with, I was a bit worried about mine for a while.

I purchased a Carbon 349 about six months ago. A little similar to yours. I have done a number of mods. Here is my first link...

Thanks for the ideas.



Matt, I rotated my receptacle as well, what were they thinking? I suspect the weight of the 50-A cord would damage it in short time.


Ksneft, some great mods you made, I'll incorporate them in my 417 when I have time. Shame is we got this unit so late in the season not much time left here in Alaska to do mods. And....it won't fit in my home garage....:lol:


I'd seen photos of a TV install similar to yours, curious if the built in DVD/TV combos are thin enough to use, and what the quality is.


Thanks to everyone, Larry
