Just take a small screwdriver and carefully pry the cover off of the lights.  It will just slide off after passing across a detent that holds it in place.

Extremely sorry to hear this, I know it's a tad after the announcement but we currently own a 2014 Livin Lite 8.5x28' FBR Quicksilver toy hauler. We absolutely love it. We looked for two years before we purchased this unit. I know Thor bought them after this, 2016?. Every time we think of selling our unit and buying something else, bigger, or better or a 5th wheel, we have NOT found anything in the market that we feel comes close. Sorry KZ, it is what it is. Thor, we've owned a Thor product, Hurricane 33' Class A. I'd rather go back to tent camping. De-lamination, electrical, roof membrane, hate to say never but.....Looks like our next toy hauler will have to be an ATC. My understanding is the original engineer who developed or at least help develop the Livin Lite brand, broke from them and started ATC. To date our 2014 has been great and we will have to, willingly, keep our current toy hauler for many years to come, best part of this is, it most likely will be around for many years to come unlike many of the current products available.

I agree with your sentiments exactly.  The Thor acquisition was announced in September 2013, just as we were in the process of buying our 2013 21BHS.  However, it took a couple of years before Thor started changing the design.  Our 21BHS has been terrific and I can't imagine replacing it with anything else on the market.  Thor had a real gem in LivinLite and while maybe it was a bit of a diamond in the rough, they totally missed the characteristics that made the campers so appealing.  What a shame.

hello to all. Wanted to introduce myself to the group.  After owning several smaller units, the wife and I came across this 5th wheel and couldn't say no.  Very glad to join the livin lite family.  The unit is a 2015 and has never been owned.  Any advice and pointers are welcome. 

Does anyone have the owners manuals for these 5th wheels?  I've contacted livin lite, but they didn't keep copies.  Any help is appreciated.

What a find!  Congratulations and enjoy.

Best thing I can recommend is to download the manuals for the individual components.  LivinLite posted them here:

There is a Styrofoam like filling in the middle.  I used contact cement to re-glue the surface.  Be aware that if the sides are coming off, the contact cement will disolve the foam if it directly hits the Styrofoam.

You may want to look up the model number for your door and then go to the challenger door website to see what the cutout opening dimensions are for door installation.  You may find you need to remove the door frame to get the required clearance.

Thanks,
So the red illuminated switch is to turn on the water heater using electric when the camper is plugged into 110 volt.  I need to look for the other switch on the hot water heater and try that out.
Thanks!

I believe it will turn it on for either electric or gas.  The water heater on my Camplite is gas only and the switch controls the gas.

On my 2013 21BHS it is for the gas water heater.

Get a good non-silicone caulk like Geocel Proflex RV and seal the joints in the wheel wells.  I would get water in my 2013 21BHS.  Once I sealed it, the inside stays dry; even when towing through heavy thunderstorms.

General Q & A / Re: Livin Lite "no wood", BS
July 12, 2018, 08:55:36 PM
Other than the luan in the doors of the older Camplites, where is wood?  There is none in my 2013 other than inside the door.

Haven't tried it either. Just assumed it wouldn't work because aluminum is not magnetic?
but  I'll try anyway.

Don't use a magnetic stud finder.  Use one of the sonic ones.  They should work.

Should definitely be going to the grey tank.  As was mentioned on Aluminumcamperforum.com, the shower is supposed to tee into the gray tank vent pipe.  The black tank vent is towards the back of the camper, at least it is on my 2013 21BHS.  There is nothing that would be visible from below, otherwise I would be glad to take a picture.  I'd get that back to the dealer and have them worry about it.  May not be a simple fix.

For Sale / Re: Wanted: 2015 or older 21RBS/23RKS

Don't think you'll find an older 23RKS as I believe they were new this model year.  I do like the layout though.

I would check that the remaining frame is not bent or twisted in some way.  The car must have hit the trailer with quite a bit of force to rip off the tongue, so I would not be surprised if the frame is bent.  That would be a whole new ball game if it is twisted.

If you have the 3 way fridge it will go for AC first, propane second and the on-board battery last so the quick answer to your question is yes.  You should know though that the fridge uses very very little gas and in a three day period I don't think you could use enough to measure the before and after difference.  A 20 lb tank can go for months if it's just supplying the fridge.

Agree 100% Just put your ear up to the lower outside vent for the frig and you should be able to hear that the burner is on.

For the dinnette in our 21BHS, you simply take the table top off of the stand, remove the stand from the floor, place the table top in the opening of the dinnette and drop the extra cushion on it.  Ours is a U shaped dinnette.  Perhaps yours is different.
