Adventure Anywhere / Elk Lodge. Fone been there
« Last post by garmp on June 11, 2026, 04:31:43 pm »Sorting out a ton of pictures from last years trips and found some I just cannot place. I believe it was in Mississippi on our way the the Reunion in Louisiana. I'm asking for any and all help locating this. Since we sold our 2351D in october have felt sort of down hearted since. Finally got the gumption to put things to bed.
Really gonna miss the reunions, our trips, the planning and everything. But health denotes the change. I'd still like to lurk and reminisce and eat my heart out qith envy.Miss y'all
Here's the pics.
Thanks

« Last post by LRUCH on June 10, 2026, 02:31:18 pm »I can agree on the "bigger is better" desire. I have a 16 foot awning on my 30 foot PC. I wish it was longer and covered the last 7 foot as well. That bedroom window at the back gets a lot of Texas sun (or rain). ... However, I do tend to set up my gas grill at that end and it probably wouldn't be good for the awning to be over it and get exposed to heat and smoke. I also suspect that my rear storage door was installed so close to the rear end cap that there is no room for the arm. Something to consider if you get an awning with support arms.

« Last post by heisthl on June 10, 2026, 11:58:33 am »Thanks for the suggestions, the absolute cheapest way would be to purchase the Lippert (Solera) short arms (62") and keep my existing awning and hopefully be able to get the shims from the factory. BTW if money is no object there is a motorized box awning available from Carefree but it is very expensive. I'll follow up when I've made the changes.

It is possible that Phoenix installs a made-for-Phoenix awning to accommodate the non-flat wall, or they install a standard awning but utilize two additional custom-made filler pieces to work with the wall. I found this picture on-line which shows what appears to utilize filler pieces.
The easy solution is to install another box awning, but naturally you will miss out on the conveniences.
Back in 2005, it was popular for Phoenix to install a short box awning. We paid extra in 2007 to have the box awning cover across nearly the entire side of our 2350 which is very nice that it covers the bedroom window and the storage compartment below it. Here is our box awning closed-up. My point is "bigger is better."
The convenience of a fully electric awning is hard to beat, but I like the clean lines without the tracks and all the extra mounting holes in the body. I have no ladder of roof rack for the same reasoning.

« Last post by LRUCH on June 09, 2026, 11:23:27 pm »I asked Google "how to convert a manual rv awning to electric" and it suggests to replace the roller with a motorized roller, or replace the arms with motorized arms. My 2010 has a dometic awning (of the same year) with the motorized arms and no problems with it.... So far. My thoughts are that a same brand conversion would reduce the chance of additional/new holes in the side of the coach for the arms... You would only add a hole at the top front(right) end for the new wires to control it.
I think it is worth contacting Dometic to see what they suggest. I would think the answer is going to depend upon the model and year of your existing awning, so have a picture of it as well as any stickers/numbers/labels included in the request.
I wish I could offer more, but I've never encountered this idea before.

Tips and Tricks / Re: Low Cost Macerator Pump Replacement (Saved A Pile Of Money)
« Last post by Ron Dittmer on June 09, 2026, 05:31:53 pm »Because we don't do #2 in our PC, I have not yet done a gravity dump, only the macerator method. As we continue to age, I can see a change in our bathroom practices coming soon. Maybe then it will be more appropriate to gravity dump, but using the macerator up to this point has been a very clean uneventful experience.
Fortunately, when we needed to replace our macerator twice during the past 19 years, both times had occurred at home with time to order and install a replacement. I do carry a gravity dump hose in a storage tube suspended under the rig (PICTURES HERE) for in-case a failure occurs during a trip.
