sorry but i have to call BS on that one!

2000 F350 7.3 powerstroke 273k and still going strong. only thing done to the engine was a turbo rebuild last winter. 17 empty, 9-11 towing depending on terrain. gross weight loaded with family, full of fuel and the dog...21.5k

i too had problems with broken springs on my 2010 Sundance 3300RLB. now i am seeing excessive frame flex issues. Before anyone asks or assumes, yes i weighed my unit and i am within the GVWR. Heartland wants the unit back at the factory to repair, which i don't have a problem with and would...

the most common place is to run the wire down through the refrigerator vent. no drilling holes through the roof, and with just a little work you can access all the way to the bottom of the cabinets inside.

i would assume that if there was a pressure leak somewhere the pump would cycle on and off even when there is no faucet open. this is not the case. i have replaced the pump (i carry an extra one just 'in case'), installed a new check valve on the cold water inlet to the water heater, and...

i have the 3 valve winterizing system if that makes a difference.

as the water pump cycles on and off while using the shower, you get a blast of cold water when the pump comes on. this started about 1 week ago. the pump has always cycled on and off as the pressure goes up and down so i am not thinking that is an issue. however i never had the problem of...

Alan, have you compared your Foremost policy with a similar policy with Poliseek? i had foremost with my S.O.B. and when i bought the new Sundance i shopped around and found poliseek to have better coverage with higher limits than i had before, with full replacement value for the higher valued...

no, that is not a brake controller. all that does is change how the transmission shifts to assist in engine braking and heavy hauling. the brake controller is a stand alone electronic device. the factory ford units are in the center part of the dash i believe. somewhere under the vicinity of...

271K on my ferd and still going strong. 90% of it's life is pulling my house around.

the B&W companion fifth wheel hitch will only work for you if you already have the B&W goose-neck setup in your truck. otherwise, you will need to change the entire goose-neck hitch assembly under the bed.

locating roof rafters is not an issue. i doubt many panels out there are actually secured directly to the rafters. just find an open spot and lag the brackets to the roof, making sure to use dicor anywhere you penetrate the roof. the only installation i would be concerned with finding roof...

yeah, have to agree. if you want a real truck get a ford. hmmm...maybe i just started something.:D:D:D:D:D "did i do that?"

Alan hit the nail on the head. it is the control board for the propane portion of the water heater including the direct spark ignition. the 120 volt heater is not part of that little box.

just to clarify for other readers, this is a companion hitch which goes in the truck in place of the gooseneck ball and in no way alters or affects the pinbox on the trailer. this will NOT void the trailer warranty. they make a very good quality product. this is what i would recommend if you...
