So here are a few angles of the entire battery hookup situation in this Elkridge 38RSRT. Unfortunately I don't see a reset of any sorts, and I've run my finger around every solenoid in the front compartment. I pulled all the red rubber protectors as well. I'm thinking I'd have to remove a wall...

Roger that, think I'll just spring for a new one and go from there. Thanks oldelevatorman! :D

Gotcha. We're in our third year of full timing and it's been ON all this time. It's just that, when we went to re-position yesterday, I had to be hooked to the truck's 7-blade connector to raise the landing gear. Also, the truck had to sit idling for like 15 minutes before the gear would lift...

Noob question, y'all. Should I be turning this OFF while on shore power??

Goodness gracious... they're so destructive when they go. Hope you didn't have any major damage!

Hey folks, Figured everybody loves pictures, so here you go. Tire on the left is a tread-separated BlowMax, 235/80/16. Tire on the right is a brand new Goodyear Endurance, 235/85/16. That's right, the Goodyear is actually a BIGGER tire, but the tread separation on the BlowMax is so severe...

Man I have no idea, but I can tell you my 2016 Elkridge 38RSRT came with Powerking Towmax tires, rated at the coach's dry weight and nothing more. They didn't appreciate an 1,100 mile tour, and look you can tell: https://youtu.be/WKukcqm2Kn8

I've got basically the same situation going on right now. Stepping up to the 235/85 that I'm currently looking at will up the weight bearing capacity by 884 pounds (Index jump from 123 to 125) for only $6.00 more on the total installed price. I can't image a 1'' diameter increase affecting the...

Success: The paddle bit worked beautifully. I didn't even have to step sizes; the 1'' bit worked well as a reamer. Made quite the mess, but that's what vacuum cleaners are for. As for the shutoff valves... I wrapped the threads with Teflon tape and tightened them until they bottomed out...

Even bigger problem: Delta piece is larger diameter than Dura piece. Excuse to buy a Dremel tool. - - - Updated - - - Oh scratch the Dremel, I just remembered I have this great Bosche paddle bit set!

Dadgum shutoff valves don't have o-rings. Fully tightened water still drips. Gonna try teflon tape on the threads.

Excellent! I shall report back with pics of the install.

Once again, you gentlemen come through in glorious fashion. Thank y'all so much! New question: Look at this pic. What in the **** am I supposed to do with the little threaded collar and brass fitting? The pex lines on the faucet already have their own little threaded collars that screw right...

Update Happy Thanksgiving everyone! First off, I'd like to publicly thank SLO for the in-depth phone conversation about my issue. He was most helpful. So long story short, I was able to confirm that the camper water supply has full pressure under the sink; it's the faucet internals that have...

Goodness gracious... I can see my kids now.. wearing that thing out just to see it work, LOL!

Dadgum... that's a clean unit, right there :eek: Well hey y'all, I removed the spray head and hung on to the hose so it wouldn't retract back into the gooseneck and turned on the water to observe it spraying out of the braided hose itself, without the impedance of the head to regulate the...

Re: Dura 3-Hole With Pressure Issues? Well lemme ask y'all this... If it were to come down to replacing the faucet altogether, is it important to stick with RV faucets, or would it make more sense (and still be safe) to install a residential grade faucet in accordance to our full-time status?

Re: Dura 3-Hole With Pressure Issues? Ok good to know! I'm gonna check this out when I get home this evening. Thanks y'all!

Re: Dura 3-Hole With Pressure Issues? Now that sounds like a game plan. So, is the flow restrictor something that fails (if it's any kind of valve function) and can be replaced? Reason I ask, is why would it suddenly be an issue after nearly a year of fine function, unless it somehow "wore out?"

Re: Dura 3-Hole With Pressure Issues? That isn't the little screen in the sprayer, is it? If so, I've already tried... no dice.

Hey y'all, We're just under our first year in full-timing in our Elkridge 38RSRT, and the Dura kitchen faucet has rapidly become virtually unusable. I've already removed the screen in the sprayer and it didn't make any difference. I've inspected underneath and there aren't any leaks going on...

Oh that's great to know! 110 psi will be the way to go for sure.

Well that's definitely encouraging. I'm gonna do some research on the Carlisle. The Goodyear Endurance is at an attractive price point as well, but is an E1 tire...

LOL okay okay, point taken :D

Holy moly... Have y'all looked at the new Carlisle Radial Trail HD? F1 rating, Load index of 128 (3,968 lbs) $177 ea. https://beta.discounttiredirect.com/buy-tires/carlisle-radial-trail-hd/p/27261

Oh wow, sure enough. Looks like I have the Summit 8-lug Silver. So I can go with 110 psi tires... which is what, Load Rating F or G?

I wouldn't imagine the stock wheels on my Elkridge being 110 psi capable...

Hey one more thing, for everyone who has followed this thread from the beginning: Is it worth it for me to even try any kind of warranty claim on these tires? My rig is still in its first year warranty period and that was the first actual trip I've ever towed it on..

Gotcha. Thankya Sir!

Oh it's definitely the tires. The severe crowning makes 'em look like they're about to pop! Hey big thanks to everyone for all the replies and information/advice. I sure appreciate it!

Yes indeed! I had 6 new Coopers put on my Ram last week at the best price you can find at the Discount Tire here in Terrell, TX. Matter o' fact, I have a credit card with them. Hey, on a side note... This coach is still within the first year warranty period. What are the odds that these garbage...

80 psi, just like on the sidewall of the Blowmaxes. - - - Updated - - - Is there an actual designated jacking point I should be looking for? Heck, I have a 12 ton floor jack, so capacity is not an issue... I just need to know what my ideal jacking point is...

Any particular website you prefer as far as pricing goes???

Do you think it'd be a big deal to jack up one side at a time to where I can tote 2 at a time into town for replacement? ***I have a deck in place, etc.

Holy CRAP y'all! Why would Heartland give folks these tires on a $64k coach?! Dang, hey how hard is it to jack up a side and tote 2 at a time into town for replacement???

Hey everyone, Background: We departed Wednesday; I aired up all 4 tires on the Elkridge to 77 psi. Traveled 372 miles and parked for 2 nights. Then, traveled 237 miles and parked for 1 night. Today, traveled 168 miles back to our home park. No issues whatsoever until I set the rig back up...

Thanks RoadWarrior!

There isn't any tweaking in that calculator this gives this truck a passing result. - - - Updated - - - I certainly understand your position and appreciate your opinion! I wish I did have that kinda cash available.

Well, that's not good..

Thank you for your knowledge and input, Sir!
