I found the anti siphon valve for the black water flush line on our models. It is located under the sink in the bathroom. Easy to find as the pipe is color coded white. The valve is right up against the top of the sink so you might think it is connected to something but it isn't. Makes the job of bypassing it really easy......

I just took delivery of my 381th. My wife noticed the bed was higher on one side, only about an inch. So of course I tried to raise it but now it is jammed 3" on one side. I need to know how to fix this.
Thanks

We stepped foot into our new 381TH yesterday for the first time!!! Very excited! We did come up with a list of about 25 snags that we're going to want them to tend to before delivery. Some of it is scuffs that occurred during manufacturing that I really can't see them doing anything about, but there's also some trim that's come loose, and there was some fairly serious cabinet damage that occurred when the dealer opened the slides.

We're confident all will be well though. Loving it, and can't wait to move in!

Congrats on the new rig. Look forward to hearing about your grand adventures. It’s not very insulated hope you don’t plan to stay up north in winter!

The skylight cover just slides to open. Obviously you will need broom handle if your short

Congrats OutlawPilot!

With that tall kitchen, one of these has come in handy for the sky light and removing/installing an insulation pillow in there and the vent fan.

I also keep a lightweight folding step ladder to access items on the very top shelf. I don't consider myself short at 5'10". It's just a very tall kitchen. My gal is a full foot shorter than I. She needs the ladder even more.

I've been full time in my 380TH since last August and am very pleased with how livable it is.

Thanks Jim. You'd think that would be a powered shade. Oh well. We actually thought it could be the top row, second from the right switch in the control panel, since we couldn't figure out what else it did.

Good suggestions Greg. And your full-timing in it for so long is inspiring! It's nice to finally feel like I actually BELONG in the thread I started!

Good to see full timers with good reports. If anyone is going to see issues it’s y’all.

That switch is either front cap eyebrow lights or the round light above the hitch. Neither is marked. I have a label maker if you want labels send me an address. I have to make some for mine too. Also plan to mark the water valves better on water control panel. Keystone has hard to understand labels there

We'll check those. Also, what's the "scare light"?

Oh man I have a major problem with my bed. I had my 381th delivered by the dealer's driver. All looked great a little road grime but so excited didn't care. I got inside and opened all my slides then went to the rear to raise the bed. Well, one side went up and the other side did not. I tried to lower and start over but it was so jammed that it would move, back to the dealer, haven't got to use it yet.

A tip I heard on the bed...
When lowering, be sure to continue to hold the button and let the motors limit out. This keeps them in sync and raise equally when it's time to lift again.

Good tip! We rarely lift the bed but on those occasions that we do I'll keep that in mind.

≤mtlakejim≥ interesting to hear that I'm not the only one that calls the orange lights on the front cap "eyebrows"
