Life With A Grey Wolf 26DBH

Outdoor Kitchen … Here are some things that may help you with the outdoor kitchen of the Grey Wolf 26DBH. If your 26DBH has an outdoor kitchen it consists of a suburban two burner stove and a small beverage refrigerator (120V only).   The stove slides out from under the refrigerator and then plugs into a propane line under the coach. The gas line for the stove curls under and tucks into the stove.   It will drop down while traveling and you will not be able to get the stove out unless you reach under the slide and carefully lift the gas line.   This has happened to me several times so be mindful and don’t pull on the slide to hard or you may damage the hose. If your dealer did not tell you, there is a valve on the gas line under the coach.   It serves two purposes: 1. to feed gas to the stove and 2) to lock the quick connector so it will not pull loose.   I spent 30 minutes trying to figure out why I was not getting propane to my stove and after c...

Grey Wolf 26DBH Slide-Out … Without me going into technical details about the slide-out, Forest River has some great videos that will help you along http://www.forestriverinc.com/videos.aspx .   Your 26DBH has the Lippert Schwintek in-wall slide-out system.   Important:   Make sure your travel trailer is level before attempting to use the slide-out.   You will damage it if not.   Insure that nothing is in the way of the slide room on the outside and the inside before operating it.   I have seen several travel trailers with damage to the slide room outside wall where the operator did not make sure they had clearance when opening the room. To make sure I have room to open the slide-out I stand perpendicular to the RV with the slide room in and touch the room with my finger tips and extend both arms straight out by my side.   If anything is within the space of my extending arms I know I may not have enough room to open the slide. W...

Norcold Automatic Refrigerator (Models N611V/N811V) … There is a lot of talk in the RV community about whether to travel with the refrigerator running on propane.   Many say it’s a fire hazard.   After talking with my dealer, I was assured that the refrigerators were much safer now than in years past and are designed to operate while traveling to keep food cold.   Note: It is illegal in the United States to have any propane cylinder on while traveling through a tunnel. I chose to run with the propane on and the refrigerator cooling; however, it took me three outings to figure out why it was not working. This model refrigerator has one button On/Off.   The refrigerator first looks to see if shore power (120v) is connected.   If it does not detect shore power the unit will attempt to fire up the propane burner. If propane is not available it shuts down.   The light will burn one of three colors: green for 120v, amber for propane, and red for neithe...

Moonbeam ....  On March 23, 2017 we took delivery of our new 2017 travel trailer. We actually started discussing the possibility of buying a travel trailer around October/November 2014. We were thinking maybe a used unit even if we had to do a little upgrading to it. At the time, the only vehicle we had was a 2001 Jeep Cherokee Limited (Maggie) that had a tow capacity of 2000 pounds, so we started discussing whether to buy the trailer first or a tow vehicle. That conversation went back and forth for several months. In the meantime we started going to RV dealerships in Eastern North Carolina to see what was available. It didn’t take us long to realize that there was not much difference in the prices of late model used trailers and new ones. I also started reading everything I could find on travel trailers, supplies, campgrounds, and tips and tricks. With our Maggie getting older, and more costly due to repairs, we decided to start looking for a replacement vehicle. With...
