Gang,
From another newbie, I have read through all the manuals that came with my 5er, but because I'm a second owner, and a newbie, I have still many unanswered questions. I have a generic owners manual for the 5er, but not one specific to my unit, er... rig.
I emailed Thor California about my Mirage and they said that the manual is online, but it is the same one that I have in print.
How about lubrication of the slide mechanisms, such as the drive gears? The service department at Thor California suggested white lithium grease, but won't that attract dirt and actually act as a grinding material when the slides are moved in and out?
I don't know if this the proper thread to ask this, but will anyway.
This 5er came without sewer hose or connections. Is there a better product that anyone would suggest?
Thanks in advance,
I love this forum, as there is so much information about just about anything.

"Was pleasently surprised to find an anode rod already installed in our Suburban 10 gal. w/h. Was shocked to see the condition of said rod after only 9 months of living in the 5er. Next stop to CW to get a new sacrificial (?) anode."
We have found the best thing for us is to always buy 2 anode rods .. then if you are in an area where there is not an rv supply store close by .. well, you have an extra ..
And we use a notebook for the mainenance items now .. it is filed with the manuals, etc.

That checklist sounds like something that would be invaluable to all of us. Have you ever considered making your completed checklist available to all? I know I would love to have a copy of it, expecially if it is in something like Excel that can be modified, added to easily. Please let me know. Thanks, Jim

This question has NOTHING to do with maintenance! Where did you get the cool "been there" map to add to your posts?
