Timbren Helper Suspension Kit I did a 1200 tow over father's day week. First tow with Timbren helper kit added. Took away exactly what you are talking about. When you go over an uneaven joint in the road or a short deep depression in the road, it sounds and feels like the bed and kingpin were...

Property tax Re: Why 430sq ft? At what square footage does a travel trailer/RV become real property? Meaning you will be assessed property taxes by the agencies where you register the vehicle.

Sync/Pairing lost. Re: Back up Camera set-up I have the factory prep for the Furrion camera. Worked last November, December, this February, April and June. This October no image. I tried pairing again repeatedly. The pickup wasn't running. The blue tooth on the pickup and cell phone were off. I...

Re: 5th Wheel axles moved? or dually axle moved? Look at your pickup's axle. Look at or measure the distances between the sides of the tire and the wheel well. A sheared pilot pin in the leaf springs will could have happened from the potholes. Did you have any vibration in the pickup? Did you...

We took the unit out twice. Once in November and again in February. About 4,000 miles. Attached is the work order for the warranty repair work performed. While there, I had them install two vent covers. Service is great. Turn around time was less than 6 weeks. But we weren't available to pick it...

What happens when a hardwired surge protector shorts? - EMS-HW50C What happens when a hardwired surge protector is sacrificed? Is there a fire in the coach?

I used the JR Products 15225 Black LED Dimmer On/Off Switch Works fine with the LED bulbs in the bedroom. No interference detected. The signal to the television in the bedroom is fine. The TV responds to the remote.

When I've parked the trailer for storage, I first use the auto level. After that, I lift front, then lift the rear. Alternating every 1 degree of deviation. I have had instances when I lifted the trailer high enough for the tires not to touch the ground. There have been times when lowering the...

License for recreational vehicle. Re: Total Newbie Questions from trucks to campsite length issues. Most states do not require a license/endorsement if you are operating a vehicle exceeding 20K or 24K pounds if it is a recreational vehicle. An example would be a popular single axle class 7 or 8...

When scrubbing the rubber roof, I detected a "soft" spot on the roof decking. The location is approximately near the bath sewer vent. The Explore USA service writer informed me that Heartland stated this is normal. It is actually an access point for any cables that need to go through the roof...

I took my new 2017 3760EL in to have the ladder, that accesses the roof, corrected. The situation is that when I climb the ladder, there is a noticable excessive deflection of the standoffs from the end-cap. I don't know what the weight limit is of the ladder, but have not experienced this on...

Piperflyer, there are two possibilities. You experiencing a hot shower with a seemingly endless supply of hot water affirms that my experiences are true. Or you are just as misguided (aka crazy) as I am. I have a new trailer and I took it back to the dealer to solve the problem. Hopefuly they...

As for which pick-up to get, review multiple years of tow capacities for various vehicles at Trailer Life Towing Guides. SRW v. DRW seems to be a personal preference. Proponents usually say duallys offer a more stable ride, higher pin weight and 2 builtin spare tires. With SRW, you generally...

No worries. I took it back to Explore USA for warranty coverage. We'll see what happens in a couple of months when they finish.

Checked the water heater bypass valve for winterization. It is in normal use position. Water heater still can't keep up.
