Our new pinnacle.

[robdeb]

Hi all took delivery of our new pinnacle camper[fully enclosed version] yesterday.Spend today cleaning it [road dust] and seasoning tent and going over it in general.Over all very happy with trailer construction and tent.We do have a couple off issues though. The wrong hitch was fitted.Web site shows a hitchmaster do35 .The trailer has a orac. Will be contacting them tomorrow to sort that out. Water tank has two holes at the top IHF ,any ideas as to what they are for apart from letting water out[leak]lol. We also  have 4 triangular shaped pieces of canvas with velcro, no ideas what to do with them. Maybe someone else does?? Will spend the next week or so doing our mods, pinch weld seals etc. Looking forward to taking it out first time on Liz's birthday long weekend.

Will upload pictures once we have taken some. look forward to seeing you on the road.

Good luck with the hitch, the DO35 is definitely a better unit. You've checked the paperwork and made sure it wasn't an optional upgrade I presume?

Those holes in the water tank are breathers, that allow you to fill and retrieve water without creating an airlock or vacuum. Ideally they should be plumbed high up nar the filler so that (1) water doesn't slosh out, and (2) so that nothing else gets into the tank.

If you have any doubts about what you've got, in terms of delivered state, clear those up before you go too far with your own mods.

Thanks for the water tank info.Paper work does not say anythink about hitch but on their web site and on ebay it showed it with the do35.

The triangle pieces of canvas with velcro are usually to put in the gap at the end of the windor awnings so you can leave them open on poles and the rain wont come in the sides, could be wrong but I have them on mine.

G'day Robdeb, hope you love the camper. Think you will find the triangle pieces of canvas are for putting along your Annex in wet weather and pegging down with a rope to give the water a place to run off and not pool.

And welcome to Myswag.

Just read wills post, are we talking small pieces of canvas or large? Think Will is on the money there if they are large.

holes are definitely breathers.. i had a couple in my water tank, that i sikflexed up and ran a breather up high. before i did that, i was losing half a tank of water before i got to camp..

Could be either, look at the outside covers on the windows and there will be velcro behind that attaches to the triangles.  I have them on my window over the bed but my daughters CT has them on the large windows the other end of the tent.  Its for wind and privacy bur lets the breeze go through if its hot.

Canvas could be for windows . Will check it out tomorrow.We also have the small pieces for attaching to the roof to let the rain run off easier

New hitches is is on the way and yes the triangle canvas is for the window flaps.Thanks for the help.

When I ran my hoses when I fitted my water tank the breather hose was run to the filler, There is another smaller hole that is the breather. When I'm filling it you can hear it gurgle before it shoots out.




Pics of the breather outlets.


These spacers were fitted so the tank would fit snug under the trailer and also leaving plenty of room for the breather hoses to run across to the back of the filler.
