    Where is the fuse panel in a 180?

    I have had a quick look, not sure where the fuse panel is in an MPG 180. Anyone know? Thanks. Dick

    What Affinity Group...Good Sam, Passport America, AAA, CAA

    I am curious about what group, if any, you have joined. They all provide some excellent benefits, what I am looking for is which group gives you the most "bang for your buck " and why you choose one over the other. There are many who belong to all of them...why? Thanks.

    The Dome Setup

    Hello Big T drop; I will give the forum a full report once I have used the dome a few times. Sadly, I am not long on patience with these things. If I don't understand it and have not reasonably mastered the up and down in the first four or five tries, there just might be a dome for sale...

    Slide or Not to Slide

    When we decided to buy an MPG we had two basic needs. We wanted it as light as we could get it and a full time Queen bed. We went with the 180. We thought about a slide and then because of our criteria and camping style we rationalized that for us the slide added about 300 Lbs and we do not...

    The Dome Setup

    Thanks mcota, that is pretty neat. Is the rear end of the track pinched so the dome won't slide thorough and off the track when your travelling? Your picture has given me a few ideas to consider this spring when we hook up our dome for the first time. You say you put 11,000 miles on this...

    Packing and Weight Distribution / MPG

    Thanks very much for that, I was not aware that keeping the weight forward was important. I will add that to my list of things to remember. Merry Christmas.

    Packing and Weight Distribution / MPG

    We have a MPG 180. When packing for a trip, how important is it to try and pack so the weight is distributed evenly in the TT? We have an Equ-il-izer weight distribution hitch. Would that not take care any uneven weight caused by packing? I remember reading somewhere a comment about...

    Mirrors

    Hi, we are driving a Chevy Traverse. I thought we may need extra mirrors, now, I don't think so. The Traverse has the factory blind spot mirrors built in both driver and passenger sides and because the MPG is quite narrow, I have not had any problem. I agree with Bighorn, the more you can see...

    The Dome Setup

    MPG 185; Thanks very much for your interesting post. Some very good ideas, the magnets I never thought of using them. Do you use the strip magnets or the strong earth magnets? I'm not certain, but the track for the dome on our 180 appears to be pinched on the left side, which I believe will...

    The Dome Setup

    I understand what you are saying...I just had a quick look and don't see a country of origin on the label. I recall the box that it came in said China. It is a Dometic which I believe is an Indiana Company. Sadly, it is very difficult to find anything of this nature made in North America. My...

    The Dome Setup

    Hi there, not sure if this has been covered before, our MPG 180 is stored for the winter and we have not used it. We ordered it with the Dome attachment and I decided to bring the attachment into the basement in anticipation of next summer's setup. I had a tent attachment on a hardtop camper...

    mpg with the mpg

    Hi there, first post so excuse any blunders. Bought a MPG180. Drive a 2009 Chevy Traverse, LTZ / AWD. Usually highway mileage is around 23 ~ 25 MPG depending on speed. Just put new ice grip tires on Traverse and picked up the 180. Hauling it dry for about 1900 miles averaged about 13 MPG...
