Call the manufacturer. Anything you get off of this forum is just an opinion. When it comes to electrical, talk to the people who designed it.

Agreed. My feelings on this are simple: There is no such thing as too much truck but there is such a thing as not enough truck. There's also another consideration here. If you have a severe accident due to component failure and you have exceeded the specifications of the vehicle and related...

Well, because this thread is really getting old, I'm just gonna unsubscribe from it. Perhaps I have lacked clarity in previous posts, so let me leave you with a short quiz that may put this in perspective: 1 - Your fuel gauge reads about 1/4 full. 2 - You fill the tank up and it takes about 20...

It is unfortunate that you are both wrong. Mine was off the lot - crew cab long bed. Also, before I bought it I ordered a new one and the larger tank was an option. Just to see if I was crazy, I talked to another camper who has the same truck - with a 27 gallon tank. Now, I was ordering later...

This just came across my email - you may find it useful. https://www.etrailer.com/faq-fifth-wheel-truck.aspx?utm_source=iContact&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=etrailer&utm_content=180302-FifW-TruckGuide-edu

That, of course, is personal preference. I just use rest stops or my coach, because towing a large rig means its not always easy to find an appropriate fueling station, especially if you are not on an interstate. I also don't like getting tied up at truck stops while the driver in front of...

Actually, wrong twice. I have a 2016 crew cab, dually, long bed, Standard is 27 gallons (or whatever fraction thereof - you pick), The larger one is optional. I should know this pretty well as I am the one who had to fill t up every 200 miles, took it out and spent a grand to replace it...

Nope. 27 was standard with the truck. 36 was optional and I bought my truck off the lot. I know this because I was going to order one but found this one.

OK - you'll get vociferous arguments on both sides of this coin BUT ... here's my tale and opinion (I've owned both). Right now, I have a Bighorn 3010RE and I certainly did not need an F350 diesel dually to pull it. However, that is exactly what I bought. Why? Well, I know me so I knew I'd...

Thanks for the tips. The truck is comfortably within the specs. With the axles, they are 7K Dexters - and should be OK, but like you, I like a safety margin. I'll likely swap them out when I install the disc brakes. Might also go with MorRyde IS but that may be a little pricey for my blood...

I just pulled the trigger and ordered a new Grand Design 374TH-R Solitude toy hauler. I've been very happy with my Heartland Bighorn, but the Solitude's "under bed" garage, front salon design won me over. Heartland didn't offer anything close to the living space that this unit has and we just...

I understand about slow hydraulics in cold weather. Cold or not, manual retraction would likely result in no problem. That said, why would anyone offer a feature that could so easily endanger people and/or the rig? Simply disable the automatic feature (in my opinion it isn't all that reliable...

So, essentially they are selling a product feature that could be potentially dangerous, they know about it and rather than fix it or remove the feature, the solution is to paste a sticker on the door? Brilliant ... :p

I have never used the "auto" feature. Why bother? Is there some sort of huge time savings?It's kind of like the new "driverless" cars that keep crashing into things. If the car crashes and the driver is in it, whose to blame? The driver, the manufacturer or "the car"? Here's my opinion -...

Sadly, common sense that shouldn’t have to be repeated. This is just intuitive - always check your vehicle. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
