    Why Do My House Batteries Drain in Storage Even With Disconnect Off?

    I have a 2018 Coachman Mirada 32ss when in storage and the disconnect is turned to off. I also turn all the house breakers off. The house batteries still drain. No clue what would be draining the batteries. Any suggestions?

    I picked up my new 2026 Coachmen Beyond 22RB and the ability to set AC or Heat temperature was removed from Firefly and the app. You can only see the temp and have to use the Truma controller or the remote. This was a disappointment because we were sold on the ability to change the settings...

    Two questions: I am convinced I have a bad motor on the main slide and need to take it out and order a replacement. How do I get the motor out.
