About half of my LED in the dock lights I have are burned out I noticed a couple of years ago. I keep forgetting to look for replacements. Maybe Tiara RV.

I don't think I've used my dock lights more than once or twice in over two and a half years.

I just use them for the flags - but it bugs me to see some of the bulbs burned out - I'm haunted.

Maybe to you but the few times that I hook up in the dark , they have helped me see better... I guess it's all how you look at things...

When we are in a crowded campground and wander off to visit others for the evening, I turn on the docking lights. Helps when walking around the nose and also lets me know which one is mine if there has been considerable "adult beverages" involved ........


Now, at the Rally, when there are a bunch of Redwoods, this doesn't necessarily help .....

Spare cable

I just ordered a Fastway 80-01-2206 Zip Breakway Cable with Pin, 6' from Amazon. $14.48.
After I read the posts, I told Gloria "gee, other folks have had our problem with a tight right turn!". Mine occurred on a cross country trip (our first) in our new 2015 38RL. I had the cable anchored to the hitch pull lever through the padlock. I think the cable must have hooked to something else without me seeing it.
The new coiled cable with the spring catch looks like I can anchor it to the RV side of the hitch, making it less sensitive to turn direction. I think I'll use it for my standard set up and the old one as a spare. Thanks for all the posts. I thought I was alone with this problem!
