Mork: The answer is yes. I also have the water tank is rear and sounds like yours is about the same set up. During our PDI dealer rep made a specific reference to the second drain in rear and that it drained the line going to the pump in the front of the trailer. You should be good to go. I did exac...

When we ordered our previous 2000 bird thermo-pane windows were not yet available. Shortly after they became an option with most mfg. After a couple of years fighting the moisture problem in cold weather I decided to never own another trailer without them. When we ordered our 2008 34QS they were a m...

Dennis: I have a 2008 34QS and I ordered the satellite prep on the side. On mine the outlet in the box with the telephone connection is for cable TV. The other two are for satellite, one going to the living area and the other to the bedroom. On older models the satellite connection was tied together...

Wayne: Thanks for the comments. I take a lot of pictures and print and send by Email in my Kodak program but I don't have any idea as to how to add a picture to this forum. When one of my kids or grandkids are here I will have to get them to help me. That said, a picture really wouldn't do too much....

I did a practice winterizing while it was still warm this week. Low point drains and valve behind water heater did excellent job of draining. I blew out with compressed air and got very little out the faucets. I won't pump anti-freeze yet unless we get a very severe cold spell. Because I'm a deer hu...

The first time we went to move out the main slide a foot or so to let us set down for sandwich on our new 34QS I had one heck of a time figuring out the right valves. First, the labels are confusing as marked, and second, when they installed the hydraulic hoses they in no way matched the labels. I s...

Update: Finally got around to calling Coach Net yesterday afternoon about activating the ERA. Lady I talked to said we already show you in the system and you should be be getting your card soon. Mailman came about five minutes later and card was in mail. Apparently Forest River enters the info autom...

We were using the rear 12V "bullet" style lights above the recliners for reading Saturday evening. The lights had been on for approximately two hours and when I went to turn them off they were so hot I could not hang on to the switch long enough to turn them off without burning my fingers....

Just had time last evening to go through that big bag of manuals that came with the new 2008 34QS. Found a brochure about one year emergency roadside assistance but you have to call a phone number to put it in force. Is this for real or is it just a "come-on" between Forest River and Coach...

Buckaroo: I had the support on my 2000 bird and ordered it on the 2008 34QS. It seemed to do a couple of things. It took the flex/bounce out of the tube when you hit a bump and it helped hold the awning tight against the side of the trailer. Do you need it? Probably not but I figured on a unit with ...

Looks like I found my answer on RV.Net Open Roads Forum. Found long discussion on this topic and looks like most folks are using the MaxxAir Fan/Mate Model 800 with the fantastic fan.

On our 2000 bird I used the standard MaxaxAire with the fanastic fan as it was a manual operated cover. It didn't pose a problem that it could only be opened part way as we usually just used it as an exaust fan when cooking to keep that darn smoke alarm from going off. On the new bird the fanastic f...

Shield:

Thanks for your original post. We took delivery of a 2008 34QS three weeks ago and have checked and rechecked everything EXCEPT the smoke and carbon monoxide alarms. Yep, both batteries still in plastic wrap and in backwards. Many thanks. Would never have know when supper was ready???

Olbird: I'm still interested in changing out the OE thermostat with a digital. You stated in an earlier post that you had info on a digital that would work with everything including the heat strip. When you have time I would appreciate your looking up the model number. I kept my Hunter from the othe...

It was a little cooler this morning so I checked out the heat strip in our new trailer. I just let it run for ten minutes or so but it seemed to be doing just what it was designed to do, remove a slight chill from the trailer.
