    It does to me as well.

    I will search this but while I am here, what advice is there when unhitching so that the truck doesn't jump forward? How do I release the pressure?

    1) Our closet doors pop out of the track if we don't Strap them own during travel. Even when stationary they can sometimes move out. I bought an extra tall plastic piece at ACE and things seem to be fine.

    2) the ac should shut off when the thermostat did to AND after the unit cold down. Worth a trip up top to clean ac vents and make sure there's good air flow.

    3) don't know how to compare chucking you're seeing. You might be able to tighten up the part the disc tucks into ... make sure it's not worn

    Thanks for the advice. The hitch is new but I will check it. My first time with a 5th wheel and I have come to realize it does it only on certain road sections.

    I found the AC in my 2021 397Th was having a hard time cooling down the inside as well. I learned from my first Momentum 328M is that the cold air was escaping into the attic space due to huge gaps between where the holes in the ducting were and the the vents in the ceiling. I pulled all the round vents out and sure enough found the same issues. I used foil tape to seal all the gaps and that made a HUGE difference for the better. it is not hard just time consuming. I also installed at the RVairflow inserts into all the AC units. that also helped out tremendously and quieted down the AC units. If you'd like more info on this send me a Private message on the main FB GD owners page and I'll send you picture from my phone.

    The one control is a bit finicky and does take a few minutes to connect with your phone. Never had an issue with the control panel itself.

    I will reach out to you on FB.

    I have since been able to connect to Once Control via the phone app and for me it works much better as the panel in the trailer does not work well, it is difficult to select anything with your touch.
