If it has a front storage bin, it's the harder-to-find 1006; without the storage bin, it's the more common 1007. We bought a gently-used 2007 Jayco model 1007 at the end of the 2009 season and camped in it from 2010 through 2019. I'd describe it as well-built and reliable, and we were REALLY...

Ouch, sounds like I may need them.

Thanks for the confirmation. I do some model railroading and know enough about low voltage wiring to get by. I was stunned by ultra-thin gauge wire with all the added pieces for a seemingly simple 2-speed fan but am no expert. Think I'm going to replace a piece of 18 ga speaker wire. Appreciate...

Took it apart and saw that then problems were loose and broken wires. Got the light fixed but the two wires to the two-speed fan switch were nearly broken and my attempts to fix broke them. Seems like a simple fix. In fact the shrink wrap seems to indicate the prior owner may have fixed this...

Thank you. I wondered if that back O ring on the stem was insulating the positive from the negative. Sounds like it does. I've got everything I need to test, just wanted to be sure. Thank you.

On our last trip, one of our 12V fan lights worked intermittently. Tested it in all 4 outlets near the 12V overhead lights and got same results. Seems like a loose connection inside or in the wire itself. I worked on the internal connections and would like to test it outside the camper somehow...

We have a 2008 Flagstaff HW PUP. This trip out, the door for the freezer compartment in the refrigerator stopped snapping shut. Normally, it had some spring tension and you had to hold it open to remove or load the freezer compartment. In other words, it would fall open when you open the...

That looks like the Flagstaff HW 29SC or equivalent Rockwood. Saw one of those at our dealer and began seriously considering that as a potential replacement for our HW 27 SCC that's 15 years old. Big boy for a PUP but really nice.

Kamper City in Peninsula OH sells and repairs a lot of popups. Not next door to you in SE Michigan but only a couple hours away. If you can't find a local option, give them a call.

After reading this forum, we decided to buy "some insurance" and picked up the Progressive RV Surge Protector with EMS (model EMS-PT30X). Any special instructions for hooking this up once we arrive at our campsite? Just plug the RV into it, plug it into the pedestal, and then turn on the...

Actually, quite the opposite. We bought the NTUS HW PUP end of the 2019 season and with 2 full tanks. Since we camp in the summer only and rarely use heat (and even then use an electric heater), we haven't refilled either tank yet. I just envision running out in the midst of cooking dinner and...

Thanks. That gives me something to think about and play with. With them reversed due to space, I bet air was coming in through the Open side of the valve that should've been going to the freshwater tank. I'll play around with it when we open her back up in a few weeks.

Exactly. It's separate from the hot water tank bypass. I know not to put antifreeze in it. This is just a single "toggle switch" valve for the pump to draw from the fresh water tank or from another hose placed into the bottle of antifreeze. Somehow, it only appears to pull from the Open end of...

Ex-military officer, so we have had USAA since 1987. Absolutely the best.

Our PUP didn't have a simple intake for RV antifreeze so last Fall I added a bypass value kit to the pump. Unfortunately, the hose going into the fresh water tank didn't have enough slack to reach the Open end of the value, so I connected it to the bypass side and connected the kit's hose for...

We have the typical quick-connect connection coming out of our propane line for the PUP's gas grill. Our PUP has two propane tanks that we only use for cooking. We also take a portable, two-burner Coleman stove with us with a couple disposable propane tanks so we don't have to use the stovetop...

The asphalt melted around the end of the jack. When a I turned the crank to raise it, the ground held it with more force than the jack and it gave out (sounded like something separated inside). Not a big deal, $35 lesson and 3 bolts.

I forgot #6, one of the more memorable nightmares. Right before our first trip out back around 2011-12, we had a once-in-a-century storm. Only time our basement ever flood. No issue with the camper directly, except that all the ants in the yard, unbeknownst to us, took refuge in our PUP. The...

Thankfully, insurance covered the new water tank, new winch, and floor section on our old PUP. Insurance also covered the towing of our new PUP when the tires blew. Frustrating but learning experiences.

We had good luck towing a 1,700 lb. PUP with a TrailBlazer, but they're no longer made. They were, I think, the last small/mid-sized SUV that was body on frame. It was wearing out and needed a lot of repairs, so we traded it in on a used Colorado. Love having a compact truck. Tows our HW PUP...
