      Outandaboutsue 2 minutes ago We love our older 2006 itasca—want to let you know that some parks have age restrictions on rv’s; some won’t take older than 10 years or 15 years.  Some require photos of all sides to see condition before letting  you stay.

        Mike and Donna Wagner 4 hours ago The map works on all devices Ray - it's minimized so it requires the user to click on the blue link that reads "Show Explorer Map". The map can also show RV Parks, and friends, and other RVillagers, and do lots of fun things. ~Donna

      Tim & Crista Tue at 2:24 PM There is a lot of information on YouTube regarding Schwintek Room Slide Systems (troubleshooting) I don’t think that will help finding your control box but it may help you in realigning the slide out and bringing it back to zero.
