Jayseejay, are the new seating surfaces slick? The bottoms of our 2016 FC seats are slick and you slide down on them while just setting.

They are somewhat less slippery than the completely smooth UL due to a slight grained finish, but I’d still call them slippery. (The “knee bump” cushioning that we had installed helps a little to prevent sliding forward.)

I have successfully used Seku-Grip on the Ultra Leather to stop slipping. It doesn't take much, but makes a huge difference. There is another saddle product called Effax Grip Stick that looks like it might be easier to apply.

That is interesting. Does this product affect the look of the fabric or make it attract dirt?

Thanks, John

My cushions are Salsa UL. It doesn't change the look of the fabric and they aren't dirty that I can see. You don't need to put very much on to stop the slipping.

A new water pump. Shurflo 4048. Big mistake paying a service center to winterize the trailer. Not real happy about it.

The service center didn't flush the water out of your former pump with antifreeze, so it froze and cracked?

That is exactly what happened. The valve on the toilet was also a victim. Normally I do the winterizing myself. The was trailer in for service and due to time constraints, I paid the service center to do it. Or should I say, paid them to not do it. Once I get the pump and valve installed, I will be checking for other freeze related damage. Discovered this on Saturday after getting the trailer out of storage.

I am contacting the service center today to see if they will do the right thing.

For the Aqua Go, have them be sure that unit seals tightly to the body of the trailer along the bottom of the unit. While we love the one we recently had installed, we had to ask our dealer to do a better job sealing that bottom edge to the trailer before we took it home. The end result was fine, the unit works very well indeed, and since it only heats water with propane we no longer have to worry whether the heat pump will turn on while we're also heating the water via electric.

What kinda clothes are you wearing (if any) that you are sliding off the ultra leather? You need to eat some more cinnamon buns to help weight you down in place!

RxGuy - Over Presidents Day I bought a blue Ram 1500 V8 truck, then had a Ranch cap and bed slide installed at a truck supplies store. My truck looks exactly like yours in your little photo, same color.
