Does anyone have any ideas for placing alternative seating in lieu of the factory loveseat? (pictures welcome)

The cushions for the seat and the back are different densities, so when it's pulled into the "bed" position, there's a pillowy side by the window and the seat is hard. I'd like to place a couple of single seat recliners there, or maybe (smell the irony) a dining setup, or even get a more level jackknife loveseat. Any suggestions on where to procure said alternatives would be great. However, it's a fairly unique size, and Craig's List is not a good option. I would consider new RV furniture, or even stuff not necessarily intended for RVing.

I have a fiberglass exterior on my 14DBS. I'm searching for suggestions for the best cleaning solution you guys have used. Does anyone have a brand that's tried and true?

So, something a TAD annoying for us is the USB outlets do not function unless you are plugged into shore power. Is this the norm? Is there an easy fix to hardwire a 12v outlet in lieu of a 110? We do have external USB (cell phone) battery backup, but it would be nice to have a dedicated onboard outlet...in case "someone" forgets the power pack.

 Our 2018 has a built in battery disconnect, but still seems to have a draw.

I found some vampire appliances, but unplugged them or turned them off (not on standby) altogether. No lights are on. Trickle charged (solar suitcase) all day and battery read FULL at sundown. Unplugged solar panel and this morning the battery was reading EMPTY. The battery is a new AGM 100 amp hour monster. We killed the first cheap-o battery by not taking cold weather precautions. We have had shore power plugged in, battery connected to trickle charge, but are going on a camping trip with no hookups. 

Now, here's the weird thing...if lights are on and we disconnect the battery with the switch, the lights go off. However, when we installed the new battery, there was a current still flowing, even with the battery disconnect switch disconnected, and no shore power.

Help us understand.....we're newbs.

  We are getting ready for the shake down cruise on our new 14DBS. We have had it in our driveway for a few months waiting for the weather to improve. We've also been afforded the luxury of getting some fine tuning addressed, such as flipping the window shades, changing the fabric on the valances, adding strategic storage, etc...

Earlier this week I was finally able to de-winterize the coach. When I flushed the shower lines, some water splashed onto the floor, as it does. BUT, it was surprising to see that there wasn't a bead of caulk at the base of the shower pan, where water could run under the stall. There were also some other seams where the water could easily infiltrate and cause "stank."

Everything else appears to be functioning well, but the lack of a simple bead of necessary caulk made me tilt my head.

PRO TIP: grab a little tube of silicone caulk to stash in your tool box or junk drawer!

This topic has been mentioned before, but I've lost the thread.

Has anyone else tried to remove the valances and turn the screen/shade units around?? I would like to have the shade pull up instead of down, for added privacy while still ventilating.

I'm worried I will screw up the fabric. ADVICE??

Pushing my spouse to name the retirement date, and finding more arthritic joints every day, led me to purchase our AMAZING Camplite! Why wait?

We were looking at more expensive units that didn't have the all aluminum frame, Azdel sides, and enclosed underbelly (didn't want to invest that much in something that might not last). More importantly, our tow vehicle is a 2014 Nissan Pathfinder, so it had to be large enough to hold average Midwestern folk, and yet be lightweight for the car. There are a LOT of cheaply-made lightweight campers out there that just don't even come close to the quality of our new baby.

We were surprised to hear Livin Lite is ending their production, but imagined that in a few years people will be so interested to see the RARE Camplite trailers...oohing and aahhing when they pass one on the road! Perhaps in the future, there will be a renaissance for Camplite.....never say never!

Hello! We are the proud, new owners of a 14dbs Platinum, and couldn't be more thrilled!  After several years of research, our trail ended at Livin Lite's doorstep.

One of the things that sold me on the quality was the use of a torsion axle. Unfortunately, when taking delivery, I noticed that a small sticker stated that this particular unit used the Dexter leaf spring. Since I only have one axle, and it's such a light trailer, should I be concerned about safety, or just a little let down?

Thanks for this forum!
