Our First New Travel Trailer

[LABSRUS]

Congratulations on the new travel trailer!

We installed:
Vent covers on all of the vents on the roof.
Mud dauber covers on all of the exhaust vents outside the camper.

Enjoy!

Where did you find your vent covers? I cannot seem to find any that fit my 2011 Passport 3220BH. Thanks

I just ordered two of these, great reviews and easy install.

We just bought a 2014 31SQB also! How does your 1500 pull it? I pull with a '13 Avalanche LTZ, which is also a 1/2 ton 1500. Not bad, with equilizer 4 point WD hitch and tranny temp does not get too hot. How about you?

My 1500 pulls it real nice. I dont do any major hills and my travels are within 2 1/2 hours. I normally drive with one hand on the wheel as it drives that easy. I hear those Equalizer's are pretty nice. My Reese dual cam setup once dialed in works really nice. Tranny temps only hit 200 on the hottest days and thats when I hit stop and go traffic. I sure do love our camper though. Set up perfect for us. I just wished I had that newer nose like yours. Seems like its more aerodynamic.

Lots of mods to do on a new trailer! But stuff i encountered:

Our shower enclosure leaked BAD at the seams where they missed caulking some spots luckily I caught it right away and caulked everywhere including where they don't at the shower pan. You should test it before you use it.

I've heard that using the black water flush could break the vacuum breaker (black check valve located under the bathroom sink) and send water into the cabin so watch that (I'm gunna change that out soon as a precaution)

Check for TSB's and recall stuff like door lock recall (I had new locks sent to me AND they key them the same so no more multiple keys!), awning recall, leveler recall, etc.

I am going to add a range hood vent myself. You can do a search and DIY.

We bought this $100 mattress to go on top of the oem one and it fells better than our $3,000 house one!: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Spa-Sensat...ttress/4569415

Always keep your wheels chocked when not hooked up and I don't recommend you rest the tongue jack on slippery plastic leveling pads. (I ALMOST had it slip off once)

Install a good anti sway / WDH system.

Check out my mods.

Welcome!

We have a 2012 2910bh and are very happy with it. Two really easy but useful space creating mods you may like.

1. pulled the fabric loose below the couch, just the sides. Now we have a bunch of space for large tupperware containers full of towels and misc. Stuff.

2. I was tired of lifting the mattress and topper to get to the storage under the bed. I removed the luan board on the side of the master bed, reinforced the top board holding the mattress and then added a piece of fabric where the luan was. This area now serves as a place to store our laundry baskets.

Happy camping in your new rig.

Congrats on your new Passport! We purchased our 2014 GT 2650BH last July and love every minute we get to spend in it. We are itching to take it out once again and have a long weekend planned in mid March for it's spring shakedown.

We started out with an 18' Palomino High Side pop up, then moved to a 25' Outback by Liteway, and now we have our Passport.

Best of luck with your new camper! I hope you enjoy yours as much as we are enjoying ours.

Congrats on the purchase! We absolutely love our 3220BH.
I do need to replace the kitchen drawer glides but other than that we've had not one problem.
