Happy Founders Day (in the US) ...... it is Columbus Day... not sure if any other RV's have their own special day..... :) Love my Columbus!!

Our Demotic thermostat is very complicated to use and sometimes does not know the difference between heat and air conditioner. Last night my wife went to turn the heat down and behold....the AC came on! On our previous TT, a Flagstaff, I was able to swap out the cheap Duo Therm thermostat for a...

We picked up our new Columbus 320RS yesterday and today I have been installing the Strong Arms. I would like to know if there is someone who has them installed on a 320RS and has a picture of the rear set and could post it for me to see. I would greatly appreciate it. Cliff

Help please! How do you turn the furnace on? The thermastat does not have furnace in the list of choices. Please help. New to RVing.:crying:

A Columbus success story. Purchased trailer on 12/15/12, Called factory and explained I was not told about available warranty. (Found out through this forum). Sent form in on 8/20/13, received paperwork back on 10/4/13 Thanks Forrest River. No I hope my dealer does well with my punch list. Paul

We picked up our 2014 Columbus 340RK last Thursday and it is amazing. Everything looks great and everything works great. With all that I see here about the problems people have with their's I wanted to post something positive for once. The thing is perfect for what we want and way more than we...

So I have been trying to get my RV fixed for the last 2.5 months to no avail.. Dealer is Paradise RV in Red Deer. Here are the main issues..keep in mind I am purely venting here to make myself feel better and really don't expect this stuff to get fixed because of the history I have had with my...

While I love the thought of a winter in the 20s or 30s, nature is a bit less kind. Winter here is guaranteed -20 to -30s and I'm wondering how well will a columbus hold up to such temps? Right now I'm living in a cedar creek 30rlbs in ND and it has done well enough despite constant minor...

Does anyone have a contact list for Columbus managment? Specifically the plant and division managers? Even names only would be helpful.

My rig has been in the shop for over 10 weeks now as a result of a blowout from a bad Akuret tire. This is the largest authorized repair shop in the area. Unfortunately, after waiting weeks for replacement parts, they arrived damaged and were rejected by the repair shop. Now, more than a...

i've started a couple of threads about the Columbus 370FL, quite awhile ago and also sent a PM to CC. i haven't heard back or sent any post from CC for a long time now. i think a number of Columbus reps answer under the CC user name but just wondering. how about on the Columbus Owner's Facebood...

There has been several reports of failed inner grease seals on relatively new rigs over on the Face Book owners group. Several of us has gone onto Lipperts Face Book page and have registered complaints. Lippert has recently named a new head of their chassis division, Brian Hess. The notice...

I have found several threads about the Hisense TVs that are put in the new Columbus 5th wheels. I decided to make a new thread to discuss (complain), please bear with me. Me and my wife purchased a new 2013 Palomino Columbus 320RS from a local dealer in Feb. of 2013. First off we love...

Do Columbus fifth wheels us EPDM or TPO on the roof? I am getting ready to put Eternabond tape around vents, skylight and antenna. Should I trim down the lap sealant where it is piled on heavy, to make a smoother job? Thanks for all information

We purchased our RV new from a local dealer and have nothing but issues with it since the beginning the quality I would question. Palomino's web site talks about pride in workmanship etc...not impressed with ours. We've had it for less than a year and... Refrigerator would not run on propane had...

we finally got to look at this model, after seeing the 320RS and the 340RK. the DW really likes this floorplan but we are trying to get some questions answered. in Googling this model, all the ones that came up, have the optional 4-door fridge. none had the stock fridge, which should have more...

Looking to find a new home for this beauty. Bought new in February 2012. Used handful of times, clear title, located in Sask, Canada. Shorter list to say what it doesn't have: Self-leveling jacks Generator 4 door fridge Washer/Dryer Zero dents, cracks, dings. Travelled max 500 miles...

Hello all, We are 99 percent sure that we are going to buy a Columbus 320rs and wanted to ask owners of the 320rs what their overall opinion of the fifth wheel is? Quality of the workmanship, fit & finish, any major issues that we should watch for? Any information would be greatly...

My standard sized adult bike does not fit on the bike rack that is supplied with the Columbus 320. The front tire fits in the slot but the back does not fit in a slot. Has anyone came up with a good way to modify this so a bike will fit. Pictures would be super. Thanks

We finally ordered our 340RK after looking four months for one with no luck. Grey paint with dual pane windows and a few other extras. When we asked the dealer about having a surge protector added he said he would ask the factory if they would install one. They are going to do it and will start...

My rig has been in the shop now for 5 weeks to repair body damage from my second Akuret tire blow out. I made some calls today to find two replacement tires for my two remaining Akuret’s. One tire dealer suggested going to a 235 85 R16, up from the 235 80 R16’s. My two Carlisle replacement 80’s...

Has anyone seen or heard from Chris Columbus. Maybe he got tired of dealing with special request from folks on the forum. I sent him a PM but have not heard anything. Trying to get the extra year warranty on my 340 RK that I just found out about. Also emailed the factory rep but have not heard...

Has anyone experienced freezing pipes in their Columbus during cold weather camping? I have been disappointed with ours in the cold, Went south last winter, coming back north it dropped into the 20's 2 nights and our galley water, both hot & cold froze. Heat was on so do not know why this...

I am about 2 weeks away from purchasing a 2014 model. I looked at all of the reviews on the Columbus RV's. It is pretty scary with all of the problems,. I hope that 99% has been resolved from the factory. I currently own a 2008 TT (Rockwood Model 8315SS). Purchased new in 2007. The only thing I...

We picked up our 320RS last Friday (Story coming soon) but the camper came without a manual for the electric fireplace. The dealer did not have one available and is requesting same from Columbus (apparently on backorder). Does anyone know the model number for the Greystone fireplace that we...
