I'm open to disc brakes. If the choice is double the cost for the 4K brakes versus just doing the up grade I will definitely consider the up grade. But when looking at the bearings and seals for it, they all come up as the 3.5K. I would go ask the dealer I got it from, but camping world bought...

Hey guys, My trailer says the axles are 4400lb axles. When looking at e trailer for my camper they only recommended the 3.5k brake replacements. Not the 4.5. Is the 3.5k the factory kit? Or do I need to pay extra for the 4.4K kits. Should I consider replacing the drums or not yet? I only...

Thanks. I'll check those out.

Hey everyone, looking if anyone has some insight to this area. We are headed the TN to spend a week with the inlaws. But for the kids, and not using a hotel we are taking the Camper. Want to stay somewhere in Southern Kentucky, or North TN not to far off I75. We're coming from Michigan. But...

So I need a good ext. Cleaning, and probably should wax my trailer. Maybe wash the roof as well. Which products are safe and you guys have had good luck with? Thanks

Just came across this from the Ford forum. A way to use your 4 wheel low to back up by disengaging your front hub vacum pump is what it looks like. If anyone is interested. https://youtu.be/fwcHGU_Z3CI

My NT has a 3/4" ish round gasket like bead on the sides to what appears drain any water that gets by the flaps out. It's coming off at the top on the one side. What should I get to re stick it to the slide? It's appears to have been glued on. So it's a rubbery make up to the fiberglass side of...

That seems kinda low IMO unless your really getting it. My ex has almost 200k on it. I get 9 around Michigan unless I am hammering. Check your camper tires to make sure they are wearing right and your axles are aligned. User Aprodoc I think told me his was off. Obviously a Powerstroke is...

Dave, that is such a true statement.

If you have replaced the tires on your truck, what have you put on? Pros and cons. Thanks

Something I noticed yesterday. We had an all day rain and was checking the camper to make sure I had no leaks. When I was looking at my flexible drain line under my kitchen sink I noticed it's not pitched to drain. On my BRS the kitchen slides out. So if you have one or similar keep this in...

Next time I suggest you don't get the phone from the store. Get a left over model from Amazon or other and take it in. They will activate it for you. Some you can do online. Can save you couple hundred bucks if you don't have to have the latest and greatest.

And don't forget your camper spare. I know I guy on his last trip who forgot to load his camper spare in the back. I (Cough) mean he has a hitch on the back for bikes or carry rack and took it out to load some other things and never put it back in.... I think he realized after a half hour. But...

You guys are taking this off topic from my question. My question has to do with the rotors. If I had a newer diesel engine with that technology I wouldn't be asking that question. I will qualify it by saying older gas powered trucks used for towing.

I have read drilled and slotted rotors are better for towing. I also heard from some guys that towing can crack them. Anyone have any experience either way or scientific data either way? Thanks
