200 watts solar kit. Now batteries last over 5 years compared to less ten 2 years. Now have 3 excellent charged batteries everyday on the road. Sent from my LGLS675 using Tapatalk

I tried everything mentioned above for years. My batteries would never get charged properly on the road and after 3 days traveling 500 miles per day the RV batteries would be dead. The 3 batteries only lasted 2 years max. And I did not use an AC fridge. The only solution was​ to install 200...

Re: 2 years, 3 months and 7 days old . . . Bought my truck 9 years ago. It was 2 years old and 70k miles on it. Now has 150k and runs much better then when I bought it. Enjoy. Sent from my LGLS675 using Tapatalk

On the 2009 BC the frame is shearing at the welds. The metal is so thin for a 15k lbs unit. I had to reinforce the shear sections with 3/16 in angles and more are developping further back. It's not if it will brake but when. I observed other manufactures unit that are similar just waiting to...

It's not the small receiver that is the problem but the frame that the receiver is attached to. The receiver would work for straight tow but apply a weight and it will bounce. I fabricated one that is solid and my bikes are just held in place with 2 small loop bungee. The unit that is sold by...

Exactly my reason for owning the SRW with much better tires up front. My tire capacity is 14400 lbs. Plenty for braking and pulling. Is equal. Sent from my B1-710 using Tapatalk

When the EGR cooler removed the coolant is not as important but better be safe then sorry. After 9 years the oil cooler is perfectly clean. Also the Hypertech MaxEnergy has performed very well for 9 years on level 2 with 85 HP increase. Never given any codes and without the programing the...

When I bought the truck used with 70k, I was one of the first on the Powerstroke Forum to try new method off appling the International system of cooling the engine with ELC coolant. It was the coolant International was using at the time and Ford refused to use it from day one. We were a few on...

I installed Crysler front shocks for 80s rear wheel drive cars. They were stock at local auto supply store. They are gas shocks with the right lenght and arrangement. Sent from my B1-710 using Tapatalk

I like my 2005 F250 with great 6.0l International not Powerstroke setup. Lost $7000 in depreciation in 10 years of ownership. Cost $2000 to bullet proof it last fall. The truck has been programed to 410 HP for 10 years and has power to spare towing our BC3500 with fantastic fuel milleage...

I spend a winter in our previous SOB unit, and spend the month of Dec in our BC. I used akirting on the previous but none on the BC. There were enough warm days above 32f to alow filling and dumpping. We were never cold with the furnace on propane. We live in northern New Brunswick. I...

My F250 was registered for 14000 lbs and I dropped it to 12000 lbs with no savings in fees. The other day I hit the scales at the local dump with 12000 lbs gross weight with 20 square of old roof shingles. I dropped the registration to lower the possible problem of being registerd to high for...

I say it all the time, rotate the wheels while applying little pressure to the grease gun. The grease will be pumped through the bearings by rotation only. Any other way will push the seal out. Sent from my B1-710 using Tapatalk

Why would paint be required on a junk RV. The paint has been the least of my problems. Our previous unit after 15 years was worth the price of a paint job. This 2009 will hardly make it to 15 years. Why worry about the looks. Sent from my B1-710 using Tapatalk

One man in our campground in Florida last winter did shoot his gun. Put a hole in his $300000 motor home and the bullet lodged in the next camper. No one in the other camper while the bullet hit the kitchen area. Cost to repair the other camper was above $3000. Plus his own was not known at...
