Thanks for the info on the ac accessability.
I'll rethink how I mount my fenderwell and insulation on the passenger side.

I've been changing oil on our 2014 (2015 model year) Windsport 27K for five years. I buy the oil in gallon jugs, but transfer the oil to a quart oil container with a small cap. If I don't fill the container too much, I can tip it into the filler tube and let it stand upside down. I also wrap a sizable rag about the filler pipe to catch any drips of oil that missed the hole.
No problem checking the chassis battery because I replace the original with a maintenance free battery.

Some one please post a picture and model showing where your battery is located. The battery on my 2015 Windsport 34E looks like it would be hard but not impossible to replace
That said I still have the oil fill location problem, the dip stick is almost as long as I am tall, Washer tank is hard to get to and on and on
TIA

I had no trouble changing the battery on the Windsport 27K, but I have long arms. The dip stick is silly and reminds me of an old "You're On Candid Camera" episode where they substituted a normal dip stick with one that was coiled up like a tape measure. The fellow who was checking the oil kept pulling and pulling.
Filling the windshield washer tank is a hit or miss proposition.

oil
I've used the manual pumps before because the oil filler cap is always above where you can hold a 5 gallon jug. The last oil change I used a battery powered pump that only cost about $10 and pumped it in in less than a minute, a real arm saver. https://www.harborfreight.com/batter...ump-63847.html

I purchased a small oil hand pump from Harbour Frieght and it worked great for adding oil after a change, but somone on this forum said it would only work the one time? We will see on the next change in Feb.
Someone else on here said to lift the dog house and follow the fill, remove and add it that way. I will look at that also.

I've used mine at least a dozen times with no problems. As far as removing the doghouse, I wouldn't suggest it for something like this.
