Simple fix

I had a similar concern when I bought my GMC 2500. After many sleepless nights, I canceled the 2500 and purchased a 3500 (it was only $300 more).
Be safe and have peace of mind, get a F350. It will...

In 2020 we purchased our 3741fk. My RV dealer and GM dealer said “you’re good” buying a GMC 2500 diesel. Then I posted a similar question to this group.

Great advice

Great advice, we used a empty Kmart parking lot and spent hours turning around, backing in, twisting and turning to get a feel. I will be honest, I did run over and kill a
few orange cones, but it...

When we are parked for a long term, we keep the blank tank valve closed.
Then we we see it close to full, we pull the valve and when emptied, we flush.

Welcome from St. Clair, Michigan!
Good to know what was drawing down the battery as we had the same issue on our 2020 3741fk.

I agree 100% with Rorhmann.
One time we had an issue and called Lippert- They solved it by adjusting one of the valves - easy fix, but unnerving when jacks/slides were not working properly.

You can barely see through it.

However, it is very easy to take down and pull up. Simple rope drops it, like having a curtain.

My main reason for this purchase was not to keep the window free...

I totally agree! I was oscillating between the 2020 2500 and the 3500.

Thanks! You are correct, the 2020 3500 rides very smooth and I "dealer traded" my 2500 for the 3500. I feel much better.
