Call and complain. I have gotten my Prime extended 2 months, 1 day shipping and no hassle refunds. They need to know that just like KMart and Sears, they can be replaced.

Apparently in the last month the roof leak took out the ceiling panel in the bedroom. Also there is mold. May have to pass on this freebee.

Yup, once mold starts it is everywhere. Water is the death of a camper.

Didn't use the Ex to tow it but took my trailer to Valdez,AK. 310 miles one way from home. Pulled great at 70..ish lol lots of huge frost heaves in the road so it beat on it pretty good. Trailer worked perfect kept us nice and toasty 70f overnight. Awesome trip got some fishing in and enjoyed the Salmon festival that was going on over the weekend.

When I take my camper in to get the nose painted the dealer requested I remove my Pro-Pride because they can't move it around with their tractor. I need to look at it this way, if I don't they are libel to screw up the hitch because some impatient employee gets frustrated!

I added a 12V outlet and a USB charging outlet on the tongue where the batteries used to be. Seemed like I should do something with the wires there.

I'm going to tell anyone who asks that it's an experimental battery design I am testing. 250 AH flux induction battery, a close cousin to the flux capacitor.

Besides being on the floor where are you going to put your batteries?

The Pro Pride hasn't been off for a year so it will be a good time to check the bearings and touch up the paint.
