I did the square PVC fence posts under my travel trailer. Worked perfect! I will need to explore a place to install on eon my PC. Right now I have one curled up on the storage bay, which I would love to use for other things.

General Discussion / Re: Sink and Stove Cabinet Separating from Side Wall

« Last post by Ron Dittmer on May 14, 2026, 09:50:06 am »

If you push the cabinet with your hip, does the gap close up?  If the gap closes when pushed-in, the cabinet is confirmed to be loose.

What comes to mind is to remove the drawers and secure the cabinet to the back and side walls from inside the cabinet.  It could be something as simple as tightening existing screws.

It is not possible to say what could happen if you ignore the condition.  Maybe nothing, maybe something bad.

Does your side wall have the beveled mirror?  If so, you may run a risk of the counter-top hammering the bottom edge of the mirror of which is naturally a bad condition.

General Discussion / Sink and Stove Cabinet Separating from Side Wall

« Last post by wandering on May 13, 2026, 08:22:23 pm »

I have a 2013 model 2350.  The cabinet housing the sink and stove has pulled away from the side wall.  The area by the entry door is still tight -- the gap begins behind the sink and widens as it gets to the stove where it's a little over 1/8 inch.  This area is not in a slide out.

Of course I noticed this as I'm getting ready to leave on a five month trip.  I'm concerned about any service lines for propane, water, and drains that may be housed in or under this cabinet.  I'm completely useless when it comes to repairing anything.  Is this something I should be concerned about?  Thank you for helpful comments!!

I like the “trailer” dump method myself, SWOOCH, it’s gone.  I have a square tube in front of the pull out drawer that accepts a Rino hose and fittings. Off Amazon

Hi Ron,
The main thing for me was that they got the classification - "MH" for motorhome correct. At first they wanted to classify it as a "Bus" and a commercial vehicle, which would have been incorrect and more expensive for the registration.

Sounds like I am good to go now! Thanks!

Our V10, our entire PC has to outlast Irene and me.  Being that we are both 68 years old this year, we hope that is many more years to come.

We have not had our PC out last year in 2025 at all, and not yet this year, very very sad.  Between my stage 4 lymphoma (in remission since treatment concluded in 12/2024), and continuing to fight a monumental personal matter that has far over-shadowed my fight with cancer, we are hoping to get back in our PC, out on the road later this year in 2026.

Hi JAWz,

On our 2007 PC-2350, both the chassis VIN sticker and the PC VIN sticker, are in the driver's door jamb.  The chassis VIN is also in the typical place, driver side, by the top of the dash board, viewed through the windshield.

For vehicle registration and insurance, always use the chassis VIN.  I really don't know what the PC VIN is used for.

I have not tried to use the sanicon system on my new to me 2021 PC 3100. The fitting that should be attached to the end of the hose is not there. The only 2 dumps I have done since buying the PC have been gravity dumps. I came from a travel trailer so this is familiar method to me. I am not sure what the real reason to use the macerator system over a gravity dump.

Registering my new to me 2021 PC 3100 in California and the DMV did the VIN Verification witht he make as "Ford" and type as "MH" for motorhome. Not sure if this is correct but they stated they have to go by what they see. I see above mention of two VIN on a PC, one for the Ford and one for the PC. Where would the VIN for the PC be located?

Ron, I haven’t heard much about issues in the last year.  I think it’s been worked out. If there were two new rigs, one with the v10 and one with the new v8 it would be a no brainer for me. The v10 as reliable as its history is now a dead horse. In a few years no one will want the v10 buying in the used market.  That alone, not counting the additional power, power range itself and  easier to get at plugs and service.  For me it matters little, unless some unforeseen circumstance destroyed our rig I doubt I’ll live long enough to need another one.

My V10 is great!
