    Prowler Lynx 27LX Axle/Bearing failure and upgrade!

    No sir. No spike was detected until the fire and smoke started. Tire alert temp is set at 140. At the peak of summer when the wheels are facing the sun they don’t get hotter than 115.

    Prowler Lynx 27LX Axle/Bearing failure and upgrade!

    Hey there folks. Its been a long while since I've posted here. We've had our 27LX since 2014 and I must say its been a great RV. Ive done a ton of mods to it, and we've taken it for a few 3,000+ mile journeys. Everything has been great, until recently.... Bearing failure. Failure of a bearing...

    EVENT: Heartland Chapter Rally: TX, Boerne - 4/17/2015 to 4/19/2015

    Yea the Corvette show was a nice treat. My wife was able to make it and we had a little birthday cake in celebration of her mom's 66th birthday today! We got back to the camper just in time before the storm came through. I felt a little sad for all those car owners having to clear out early due...

    Anyone using 5k to 6k led replacement light bulbs?

    4k. Much warmer light that's not harsh on the eyes.

    Sewer gas smell in bedroom

    You are correct on all counts. However it's not a whole lot heavier than air. It will tend to stay low as long as the wind stays low. When it's burned it produces Sulfer Dioxide which is much heavier than normal air. I would like to add that many people can get very sick at levels even less...

    Latest modifications/additions to our Wilderness 2250

    Great job on your mods! I've wished our freezer had a shelf before. Now I may try to make one like you did! The TV mod is a great idea and I like how you have it mounted on a swivel bracket. And I am so happy I got one of the vent covers like you did. My brothers 38' Rockwood Windjammer had both...

    Backup camera options for '13-'15 Ram 1500, 2500 & 3500?

    This particular cable kit only supports one cam, but RVS makes a 3 camera quick disconnect if you wish to mount up to three on your towed vehicle. Check out rearviewsafety.com

    Anyone using the Barker Swing Free sewer hose kit?

    My brother in law has a 38' Rockwood Windjammer and I setup his plumbing and electrical systems and the trailer is stationed downhill and about 50ft away from the house. Electrical was a breeze, as was plumbing the PVC lines underground for the fresh water system. The 'fun' came when deciding...

    Backup camera options for '13-'15 Ram 1500, 2500 & 3500?

    I used the Rear View Safety quick disconnect system between the truck and the trailer. $89 and works great!

    Live been very happy with our Lynx 27LX. Great camper for the money and I've been mostly pleased with the build quality. Check out my posts for pics of the upgrades I have done. Happy camping!

    Anyone using the Barker Swing Free sewer hose kit?

    If the sewer is located uphill, than the "sewer solution" or a macerator system is the only option. As far as what I read about the seals, they are self cleaning during collapsing and storage. There is a flush filtting on the elbow that allows you to flush the system clean before collapsing. The...

    Anyone using the Barker Swing Free sewer hose kit?

    Hey guys, I'm looking to upgrade from the stinky slinky to a more robust or "permanent" looking sewer hose and stumbled onto Barker's Swing Free system. Looks to be easy to use and quick to setup. Anyone using one? Click the picture and it will get bigger.

    Real gas caps??

    The 13+ ram diesels don't come with the large cap due to chrysler not wanting to redesign the left bedside to accommodate a larger door like the SuperDuty in order to fit the DEF filler in the same hole. They devised the 2 door method which I personally dislike immensely because many times at a...

    It seems that Heartland prefers beige over gray.

    I take it since you have a Big Country you are looking at the same size or bigger in terms of today's models? Our '14 Prowler came with a dark brown/gray motif and we think it's very up to date and modern looking. But the colors on the larger big horns etc., may be more what you are referring to.

    Installing outside shower on a TT that didn't come with one..

    Hey guys, I'm missing having an outside shower kit on my Prowler. Has anyone added one to thier camper that didn't come with one from the factory? On my prowler Lynx 27LX, there are two water lines that run underneath the lower bunk on the street side rear corner and are capped off and unused...

    Toilet paper

    Yea, I use the half press feature to fill the bowl ever time I use it. However I'm talking about adding water directly to the tank without involving the toilet and thereby I avoid having to flush the toilet just to add water to the tank.

    Toilet paper

    I think TP type is just as important as the location of the toilet is over the tank itself. I noticed the other day when I filled the tank up so I could dump it that when the tank was empty I could see straight through the pipe to the bottom of the tank which seemed to be only a few inches from...

    Air Lift Air Suspension - Broke mine?

    I have a set of these brand new for the 04-14 F150. I've been meaning to send them back to Air Lift so I can trade them in for a set of Ultimates that will fit my Ram 2500. I purchased them them simply because I know that if the air system ever leaks or quits at least I will know the ounce...

    Backup camera options for '13-'15 Ram 1500, 2500 & 3500?

    Well, I ended up purchasing the Coastal Electronics LockPick CHR558 AIR V2 for $289 that gives me FIVE camera inputs (Left, right, front, OEM rear and 2nd rear. Bypasses the factory lockouts and also has DVD inputs, headrest outputs, and even has built in WiFi streaming from iOS and Android so I...

    Can shocks be added to a pull-behind non-5th-wheel travel trailer?

    Dude I would be po'd! I know you are. Do do you have a suspension/trailer repair place? Usually you can find a local company that makes and bends their own brand of springs, meaning they can build you a set of custom spring packs for the same cost as new OEM ones. As for the shocks, I would...

    Wait, scratch the axle flip comment. Took another look at your pics. Nevermind LOL!

    Can shocks be added to a pull-behind non-5th-wheel travel trailer?

    Man that sucks! Your trailer is only a 2013. Have you weighed it at a weigh station empty and fully loaded? I would consider upgrading the springs but you stand a chance to transfer the stress to the bearings and axle tubes and shackles. Flipping the axles would give you more ground clearance...

    TST 507 Purchase

    I just ordered the 507 from Vulcan Tire and originally I ordered the kit with the flow through valves but they sent me the replaceable cap style units instead. When they realized thier error, they sent me four of the flow through style. Both have replaceable batts, and both weight only a few...

    Travel Warning Austin, Texas and San Antonio, Texas - Distracted Driving

    This is one of those rules I whole-heartedly agree with!! Way too many distracted drives out there on thier phones! Now is a good time to start selling Bluetooth hands free devices and install them from a mobile service vehicle. ;)

    Dash Cameras

    Driving around San Antonio and the surrounding areas where I live is enough for me to always drive with a camera rolling. I just upgraded to the BOYO Vision VTR103 http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_75458_BOYO-Vision-VTR103.htm. I'm about to test it out on the camping trip I'm starting today...

    TST System

    I just ordered the 507 four sensor kit with the flow through sensors and I also went ahead and bought the repeater as well as I have seen how some owners have said the first trip the sensors report fine and then susequent trips they work intermittently. Looking forward to getting these installed!

    Backup camera options for '13-'15 Ram 1500, 2500 & 3500?

    Dave, when i I went to the JAX jailbreak website everything is priced in Euros. I didn't notice a way to convert the site to USD. I am interested in the JAX because of the third brake lite and emblem cam in addition to the jailbrake functions.

    Yup, I have the Airlift 5000 Ultimate kit w/ the internal jounce bumpers already, and will try to swap like for like on the Ram. I've driven many 2011, 2012 and 2013 ram 2500 and 3500 SRW cummins and I've loved everyone of them. They will pull to the last! I'm an anti-sag kinda guy, and I like...
