Hi Gary, We have our 2018 Newport set up at a permanent site near Palm Springs. I did an internet search for "mobile home metal piers". I ended up buying 8 of them, and they do a great job stabilizing the rig. You will need to measure before you order so you get the correct size pier. They...

OK, I got the clog busted with the old fashioned tank flush....garden hose down the toilet. Now, I am left with the one internal flushing system that doesn't flow water, and I know help is on the way with that one!!! mike

We are in our 3rd campground with the new trailer now, and today I wanted to empty and flush the black tanks. At the other campgrounds, when I pulled off the sewer cap, both times, I got a couple of cups of brown water. This tells me one of the black valves is leaking or has crud in it...

Yes Jarrod, that is my humming black box. It's gonna be 105 here in Red Bluff today, so not a good day to shut off the power and tear apart that rear storage wall again. As soon as we hit some cooler weather, I will do that though. thanks, Mike

OK, thanks. Still getting used to things. I guess it can lull us to sleep. :-)

Hi there, I have a constant humming noise near the inside stairs in my 2018 Newport. I tried flipping each of the breakers, and then pulling each of the 12v fuses near the stairway, and the noise persisted. I then removed the back wall in the pass through storage, and the noise seems to be...

One more thing for "hutchman". Yes, I would very much recommend Sutton. We bought from a guy named Kip, who has since moved on to finance manager.....great guy. After he promoted we worked with Mike Bissett. I always like doing my "deal" over the phone. I hate sitting in somebody else's...

Thanks for all the well wishes and replies. For20hunter, THAT is the switch we were looking for. Thanks. Just my humble opinion, but that switch should have gone in the bathroom with the other 2 multiplex switches that are already there. We can live with it though. By the way, the multi...

Hi there, My wife Paula and I picked up our new Newport at Sutton RV in Eugene Or yesterday. We are camped at Armitage County Park in Coburg for the next 3 days, then heading south, eventually landing in Cathedral City where the weather may be a bit toasty this time of year. Our PDI at Sutton...

Thanks for the responses so far. I like the silverware drawer modified for 2 levels. I will need to start at the beginning of the mega Jess thread to see all that he has done. It would be nice if the paint was formulated to reduce heat transfer. I inquired with the factory about the option...

As most of you know, we have a Newport on order, scheduled for a June delivery. The more I read on the internet, the more question I have. Here are 2 for today. 1. What is "energy efficient paint"? Never heard of such a thing. 2. How does the "dual access silverware drawer" work? thanks, ms

Well, I am no longer in the market for a LM Newport. We bought one yesterday from Sutton RV in Eugene Oregon. Kip, the salesman at Sutton RV was great to work with, as was Kevin, the west coast LM factory rep. Very easy, professional deal from start to finish, and a great price, to boot. The...

Thanks for your responses. Yes, the truck is a diesel. I will give the LM folks a call on paint colors. And thanks for the info on the furniture maker. Looks like I can do all of this. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi there. I am about to give up my towing days, and purchase a larger rig for semi permanent placement in an RV Resort near Palm Springs. The Newport is on the top of our list right now, and I have a couple of questions. 1. Can I order a Newport with standard graphics (no full body paint)...
