Thanks for the input. I just wanted to know normal temp range and what was expected during burnishing period. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I just bought the same old manual electric brakes that came on it. Just wanted to go a cheaper route while I learned what to do in case I broke something. A couple of the seals were leaking or the factory just pumped way to much grease in there. Next time definitely going to upgrade the...

Finally got around to checking bearings, replacing seals and installing new drums on our 5th wheel. Thanks for all the previous posts on part numbers, double vs single lip seals, and other related topics that helped me feel confident enough to give it a try. Through all your posts I...

We have a couple but they do get loud if to much dust gets caught in the screen. Keep them clean and blow out any dust for good measure. https://www.recallrtr.com/dehumidifier There have been a bunch of recalls so good idea to check if you already own one to see if it has a known problem.

I see some of you are still giving the manufacturers a pass. Is there any other house, car or truck you might purchase that you have to spend multiple days exploring for the defects that were overlooked. If one of these companies stepped up and actually quality controlled their products...

Just had G614's put on my trailer and spare. The small town I was in had limited tire resources so I had the tires delivered and then they mounted them. They put the rubber/metal stem on and said they were the high pressure ones. Apparently they called the vendor who said they will take 110...

I looked into many options but just ordered a Bostitch BTFP02012 6 Gallon Pancake Compressor for $99 on Amazon. Goes to 150 psi and refills quicker than the small tank I was using. Others posted it works for rv tires and at $99 I don't mind leaving it in the RV.

My big blow out was less than a week ago. I saved my tires and filed a report with NHTSA like mentioned above. Those are good example prior to explosion so may be of interest to investigators. If I don't hear anything soon I will be collecting names to pressure them into properly...

Thanks but saving in case DOT wants the tire. Not going to give it back for some prorated rebate. But will give it to investigators who can work on getting a recall going.

Also interested in if the trailer aid works. Had major blow out the other day and good Sam road assist was worthless and I have been paying for years. We had the blow out in the mountains and barley got the trailer off the road. Asked them to start a tow ASAP but they wanted to ask a bunch of...

I will call Monday. It looks like the 2 wire multi color came out of the Frame and was just exposed wire. That seems to be the 12 volt lights to the slide. The 3 wire should have come out of the junction box and into the slide for the power. I can't see any other holes where wires...

Thanks for the info. It will give me a good starting place.

I had every intention of replacing my tires after reading all the problems these towmax tires have cause over the last few years. But life just got the better of me and I kept putting it off. Like many of the others who said why change them if I monitor them properly and check pressure all...

Good point. My last trailer I bought at the lot and learned about the tire issues after I purchased it.

That sucks. Sorry to hear it. I still haven't replaced mine but check them before any trips until I can replace them. I won't buy any trailers in the future if they don't start putting quality tires on them from the factory. No excuses. I would pay a few hundred more for quality tires but...

Sorry to hear that. And people keep complaining but the manufacturer changes nothing.

Thanks, I will check into this brand.

I have a 2008 Chevy 2500 HD Diesel and overheated my truck on some step hills last year. I am interested in getting a gauge installed before any long trips. I looked at some past posts and read something about placement of sensor pre turbo. If that's the case what should I tell the...

You didn't even ask if you could post pictures of my rv and grill.

New tires, maybe rims, TPMS a plus and now I have to go look at the wheel bearing thread. At least I have some homework now when I can't sleep. I do like different opinions and the reasons they are your opinions. Thanks to all who participate in safety and maintenance related threads.

Most of the time I can make the black tank last until I move it but occasionally I will clean the black out with the portable unit. You would think it would be bad but I don't wait until it's full. I unload the black tank and then follow up with grey until portable tank is full and then take...

I think my tanks are 40 gal each so I use a barker 42 gallon so the entire tank can be dumped. With me and the wife showering and doing dishes daily I have to dump both grey tanks every other day and the black tank once a week or so. I hook it to the trailer hitch and bungie the handle with...

Thanks for posting. It would be better if quality control caught these issues and we never even knew about them. But like many others have posted that is not the case and somehow people justify it.

Thanks for the pics. Still want to do this so I have some info on what works.

Re: Peel and stick solar panels instaled Good info. Also interested in if you added a battery bank or what you are charging. Any test runs running light or other stuff and do they stay charged overnight would be good info for people interested in adding solar.

I have the 52 gal on my 2008. Originally I was told I could have the computer programmed for the new tank but couldn't find anyone (even tried the dealer) to fix it. When the gas light comes on there is still 10 gallons left. My wife hates it because I will drive another 100 miles with the...

I have had mine for a couple years and it never looked that bad. Not sure why it's so bad.

All lights works with shore power. I thought a couple worked with battery only but will have to check to make sure. It's in storage right now and was going to do a dry camp in a couple weeks so I better figure this out.

Not sure if reading into this or not. All lights do not work when on battery alone in my trailer. Only select ones. Did you try more than just the main ones. I am going to be upset if they are all supposed to work and I am just figuring it out.

I agree renting it is a bad idea in so many ways. I just spent 4 months in my fifth wheel while a house was being renovated. I in no way want to stereotype folks so don't get me wrong. The people I came across while renting monthly at RV parks were either well off and bought what they wanted...

The other responses are right on. Find an rv dealer near where the rv is and ask them who transports to their location from the factory and they do like to make money on return trip to factory so it may work out for you.

Easily could have turned out different.

Re: What campground this weekend Pomo in ft Bragg ca.

Are these universal. I also lost one, but think a squirrel stole it. Don't know why but they were jumping onto 5th wheel and when I went up it was gone. Mine says fits 1" - 2 3/8" pipe on top of it and want to make sure I get one that will definitely fit.

We have allied. $31 a month for rv only. No claims, but they were the cheapest ones we found that offered a vacation coverage which I think is like homeowners ins for things that happen when it is left unattached to truck and you leave it at the site. The place we leased a site for a year...

My 2500HD pulls great with 5er, but bounced when not loaded. A flaw in some year models. Tried timbrens, but changed to air bags for the flexibility and the bounce is gone. I don't need a heavier rated truck, just better suspension. The air bags were a lot cheaper than replacing whole suspension.

I do hope it helps someone else. I looked for pics here before starting this project but did not see any. A couple pics in the undercarriage were real dark, but you could get a better view of the parts in the pics from the first post in this thread.

Well I finally decided to tackle this job. Here is what the back of the pull T-handle looked like. I broke the T-Handle off when trying to take apart. I did buy one of the twist on valves so I could put it on before messing with the permanent valve. Turned out to be a good idea because...

Good to know.

I got to the area I need to be with a box cutter. First cut was exploratory and second one I nailed it. I cut three sides and folded back to get access. I taped area afterwards but left a little bit open. There was a tad bit of water on it so thought I would leave an area open for drainage...
