Thanks. I agree about the excess weight on the tail and plan to try to move stuff forward.

Thanks for the suggestion. I looked up the vehicle max weights and loaded into the web site suggested and we are well under the limits. Also, this TV has a 7" longer wheelbase than our previous TV (Porsche Cayenne) which towed the 22FBS well. I suspect my problem is load balancing on the...

We're towing a 2013 22FBS with a 2014 Mercedes GL350 and Reece Dual Cam WDH. The MPG is good (about 15 towing) but I'm not happy with stability - lots of fishtailing. In fact I'm not happy with the suspension even when not towing - lots of wiggling, overly soft steering and hydroplaning on wet...

OK. Finally removed the sofa and installed a custom-made "credenza". This gives us a place to de-clutter the kitchen counter, additional pantry storage and a place to eat. We're using folding stools from WalMart (about $13 each) and cut the legs down to fit under the slide-out table. The...

Thanks. Our 2013 22FBS has a flat slide out floor, not raised. So we didn't have to remove anything other than the dinette. The chairs are "wall huggers", which means, to recline, they need to be only about 3 inches from the wall behind them and they are 33 inches deep (front to back), so you...

Weathert, I've posted a photo on the thread of the slide-out with the dinette gone and new recliners installed. The sofa is gone and I should have the credenza installed by this weekend. Regards

Finally had the dinette removed and added 2 recliners (Lambright). Have tried to upload an image to this post - hope it works. Waiting on quote from Heartland for wall corner molding that was missing after the dinette was removed. Also had the sofa removed and will have a custom-made credenza...

We've ordered the recliners to go in the slide out and have contracted with a cabinet maker to build the credenza (buffet chest) with slide out table. But, we've been out of town for the month of April and are hoping to get everything removed and installed in May, when we return. Removing the...

We are actually 1) removing the dinette and table entirely, 2) installing 2 wall-hugging swivel recliners in the slide-out, 3) removing the jack knife sofa entirely and 4) installing a custom built credenza (buffet chest) with slide out table where the sofa was. The credenza will give us plenty...

We've looked at a lot of swivel wall-hugger recliners and, so far the Lambright Relax-R Lite chairs seem to be the best fit (24" wide). A bit pricey and not as tall as their non-Lite chairs (i.e. not as comfortable for a tall person). The narrow width should allow both chairs to swivel within...

[ Great. Will look forward to your pictures. Do you know which recliners you will use? -Terry Startsman QUOTE=Ks.Kev;410329]OK...... Did find out that I CAN put the recliners in the slide out, and move the dinette over to where the couch use to be. SO, moving and Using all of the...

We have a 2013 22FBS with the slide out bumper. We slid the bumper out to about 3/4 maximum length and added a second bolt to each slide side to keep it from flopping up and down. Had to drill an additional hole in the rails and the rack underneath the trailer in order to do this. Also used...

We've had our 2013 22FBS for 2 years and love it. BUT . . . we're tired of sitting on the dinette and watching TV. It's VERY uncomfortable after about 1/2 hour of sitting. And, you have to lie down on the sofa to watch TV or get neck ache from twisting to watch. So . . . we want to take...

Interesting. We had been looking at the Ram 1500 Eco Diesel but read that the brakes were not what you might expect. We've been towing our 22FBS with a Porsche Cayenne S (8 cyl.) for 2 years over the Blue Ridge Mtns, the Poconos and the Adirondacks with no breaking or cooling issues. We even...
