Mine were always giving strange readings. One day when I took the belly off, i noticed how all of the wiring under there was just laying around. Being anal, I tied everything up properly just because that's how I like things. When I went to use the trailer after that, the gauges seemed to work...

Hi Bill, I found it by Googling Lippert landing gear. The manual spoke of how the nut which is fixed to the exterior square tube is cone shaped. When you pour engine oil down the square tube, oil pools in the cone. As the screw goes up and down, it automatically gets lubricated. By the way mine...

Same here, mine wors great.

I tried just changing the regular bulb to an LED. It doesn't appear different. If you are looking for the bright look of an LED, get the whole fixture. Just changing the bulb to an LED will give you a longer lasting bulb, but for the price, I would go with the whole fixture. Guy

My landing gear started to slowly get slower and slower over the space of a few months. It got to the point where it would barely lift the trailer off the truck! In my despair, I did what a lot of men do... I read the manual! It turns out that you are supposed to oil the landing gear posts from...

;) We found one at Camping World. It fits just right. Guy

We don't tarp ours at all. Life is too short for that noise.

I prefer to blow the lines out with air. It makes it so much easier to de-winterize - and no anti freeze taste in the water lines to contend with... Guy

Hi there, I had very low water pressure in my 3300BHS when I got it. I adjusted the pump pressure at the set screw on the pump head. I also added a cushion tank in the plumbing system. Now the pump is quieter and has as much pressure as in my house. Guy

I agree. Yes, I am above the GCVWR as set by GM's marketing department, but well within my front and rear axle ratings. As for chucking, a 1 ton dually makes no difference as I have tried it with my dad's dually 3500. My truck pulls my 3300 BHS very comfortably. Guy

Thanks for the info Michael. I always wondered why they didn't add up. My truck does the job of pulling my Sundance even though it is over it's GVWR but within the sum of it's axle weights. Oh well. I'll have to get a bigger truck regardless. The law is the law... Guy

There is a plug that you can buy in case it happens again, but the connection in the trailer has a built in check valve. Looks like your check valve is faulty. It can be something as simple as it being misaligned or broken. It's an easy fix regardless. I keep a plug in my trailer just in case...

If you want to be legal, get the 3500 dually. The 2500HD CAN definitly do the job, but if you get into an accident or are spot checked, you will be in trouble. I have a 2500HD pulling a 3300BHS and it is overweight by approximately 800 pounds per gross vehicle weight rating. I'm ok by every...

Keith - See my answers below... 1. When I weighed the tongue it was 900 lbs without water and the wife/kids, the hitch weight for the trailer indicates 675 lbs and the bars 600 lbs. Will the weight distribution system compensate for this? Should I empty the trailer and get an empty tongue...

A larger than required WDH is not a problem as you can always dial down the tension on the torsion bars. But too small a WDH will cause problems similar to not having any WDH. I would rather have larger than required WDH as it gives you more flexibility. You could almost crank it so hard that...
