While checking on our trailer in storage, we noticed that the front was way down (pic 1). Opening the front compartment, the right valve/connection had a small amount of ATF on it (pic 2). The reservoir is nearly full (pic 3). The 4 rear legs are also extended which would explain some dip in...

When un-winterizing last Friday, I discovered a crack in the elbow of the 3-way valve (water heater side). That is the white elbow in the picture. I was able to remove the ring and unscrewed the fitting. The black valve part came apart when I got the elbow loose. It was connected to the...

Will there be any meet and greets this winter season?

I have been using the outside shower hose to take the air out of the water line when we hook up the water while camping (used city water selection). The water/air mixture barely comes out. When I winterized last week using the water pump - same result. I took the basement wall down and...

Not sure where this belongs. Sure if it is in wrong place, it will get moved. I was under the trailer today to fix the coroplast that is sagging. The sagging is between the front axle and the dropped box. There are pockets/gaps along the side I feel need to be sealed. The coroplast is...

We will be coming back from the nat'l rally through Michigan, then Minnesota. Have most of Michigan figured out. Last stop planned so far in MI is Porcupine Mountains State Park. Figure I will start heading west towards Duluth... I need advice on which way and what to do in Minnesota as we...

On my 2012 F350 SRW, I've gone to 110 PSI tires and I keep getting a warning message: Tire Pressure Monitor Sensor Fault. This isn't a low pressure message on a tire. I'm running Toyo M143Z fronts and Toyo M608Z rears when I tow. It happens more often when the temperature gets above about 70...

I want to travel to Goshen, IN this summer without using I-80 or I-70. Has anyone traveled from Denver to Goshen using state roads: 36 (CO, KS, MO) / 24 (IL) / 136 (IL) / 54 (IL) / 9 (IL) / 26 (IN) - at least to Indiana? May want to stop by Indianapolis on the way. My experience (though...

I am looking at installing the Titan disc brake system at the national rally, when my wife suggested we also look into independent suspension. I know the marketing advantages of IS, but was wondering if anyone considered the trade off in maintenance? I currently use a little silicon spray...

Has anyone pulled their big fiver over Monarch Pass? It's been a while since I've been over it and not with the trailer. I was over Red Mountain Pass with the trailer two summers ago and cannot imagine anything more challenging. I'm leaving the CO rally and heading to the Las Vegas rally...

I pull the anode when I'm done with my trip and wonder what I should do with the build up of rust and calcium (?) on the threads. The anode I was able to use sand paper as the anode was not ready to be changed out yet. On the water heater threads, I'm asking what others do to keep the threads...

New looking RAM looking a little toasty. Didn't make it very far up the pass. http://www.9news.com/news/local/vehicle-fire-prompts-delays-on-eb-i-70-on-vail-pass/233024374

I switched out my OEM wheels on my 2012 F350 for a set of new Rickson 19.5" wheels and Toyo tires. I have gone no where but out of the garage and back in when the breaks squeak more than they ever have. I initially torqued the new wheels to 150 ft-lbs, then tried re-torquing them at 140...

I just got my bearings repacked and brakes checked. Does anyone do anything for for the suspension other than check the torque on all the bolts? The suspension is a little cranky when we pull the trailer out of storage. I was wondering if anyone uses any spray silicone on the moving metal parts.

Has anyone had a bolt snap on their ladder? All I can think of is I'll need to get a new support and a bolt because there is a small piece of the bolt in the extension. Any ideas?

While my trailer is in storage, a slide topper and awning face the southwest sun. I've looked at the plastic awning cover at CW. About $150 for twenty feet. I was thinking of using corrugated drainage pipe. I can get fifty feet for $45. All I need to do is slice the side and cut to fit...

I am travelling to the Sweet Heart Rally and need to replace my existing tires with Goodyear G614's. My route from Denver is thru Raton, Amarillo, Lubbock and San Angelo to Kerrville. Does anyone have any experience with a tire vendor that carries the G614's along this path? I'm also open to...

Does anyone have any experience with Kinro window replacement? I have one window that rubs against the other at the bottom. I'm in the process of getting together an estimate for a warranty claim. I'm trying to learn how they are installed so I have an idea of what to expect before I have a...
