Taillights
We have 2007 3400RL. Several years ago while stopped in a bare lot for lunch, I realized our left tail light, signal filament, was burned out. I didn't like the fact someone behind me would see my...

Convenience Centre
We have a 2007 3400RL (love it) and it has a fresh water tank fill switch in the convenience centre. Seems funny that the 2006 and 2008 model years do NOT have it but my 2007 does.
