  • Power Cord Pain Solved

    Power Cord Pain Solved

    Our 2018 Lexor has been a pain to plug in since day one. The threads on the locking ring are difficult to engage when attaching the cord to the van. There is a simple and inexpensive fix. Notice this L shaped slot in the threads on the van side of the power connection? There is…

  • Windshield, Gardens, and RR Brews

    Windshield, Gardens, and RR Brews

    8/9/2019 Safelite was ready for us at 0745 where they worked outside their garage before the temps rose for the day. Our rig was just a little too tall to get inside. We scheduled this after a rock hit our windshield while crossing North Dakota on March 24. The service folks were courteous and had…

Newer Pleasure-Way vans include a tool, the Spyder Control Panel, that helps answer this question. If you don’t have lithium batteries and a…

    Winterizing – 2018 Lexor TS

    Asking owners for their preferred method of winterizing, the most common answer was “stay in Florida.”  For most of us, that isn’t an option so we need to protect our rigs. Though we could take our Lexor to a dealer for winterizing, we have found that no one cares as much about our rig as…
