My wife and I just got back from our second trip (to Gettsyburg PA) with our new Transcend 26RLS and we had a few issues and questions that I'm hoping that you folks can help with.
I actually noticed the first two issues when we were packing up to leave. When I opened the door to the pass thru storage compartment I noticed that there was a small amount of water on the floor. I'm not sure where it came from, but I suspect that the it came from the passenger side door because the gasket isn't in the best of shape. I will look into it further today.
I noticed the second issue when I was looking for a better place to store the wrench that is used to lower the stabilizers. I thought that I could install some sort of bracket on the top outside storage compartment (on the wooden struts that also support the bed). That's when I noticed that the wooden strut one closest to the passenger side is badly cracked. Its cracked directly under the side clothes cabinets in the bedroom, so there is no way that we did it. It had to have been broken during manufacturing and the person that did it, knew that they did it. If this was my only issue I'd fix it my self and I still may. I could easily sister (glue and screw) a beam on either side of the broken strut. I have very good carpentry skills, so this would be an easy fix for me, I just don't know how me fixing it impacts the warranty.
I noticed my third issue after we had everything all set up at camp, water electric, sewer connected, etc. and I sat down outside to have a "beverage". That's when I noticed water dribbling out of what I thought was the fresh water tank drain (a white PVC pipe with a shut off. The valve was similar to the ones on the black and grey tanks, only it was white and it was pulled open. I went over to check the setting on the valve that you move between city water and the tank and it was correctly placed on "city water". So I'm thinking that the valve must be leaking water into the fresh water tank...right?? I guess it could also have crud stuck in it. I was reluctant the fiddle with it in fear of it breaking outright. Any thoughts?
Now I've got a few questions that I can't seem to find anything about in the manual about.
I thought that my 26RLS only had one 78 gallon grey tank, but when I look at the control panel I see a button for two grey tanks. So do I have two grey tanks? If so are they tied together some how? I only see one grey water dump valve?
While sitting outside the trailer on the ground I noticed a strange port on the black propane line (I traced it back to the tanks) that had a small lever on it. The port looked very much like a an air hose coupler. Can I use this port to plug in our small gas grill (with an adapter hose)? Which way if the lever supposed to be? I'm thinking perpendicular to the fitting is closed? I hate using those small 1-lb propane tanks.
Thanks
Bob
