    Brake Drum Temperature during burnishing and normal use

    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...

    Procrastination = exploding tire and some RV damage

    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...

    EGT Gauge suggestions

    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...

    I sure screwed this Valterra sewer valve T-Handle and Cable up

    My sewer connection drain valve has sucked from the first day I bought my 5th wheel. The back of the T-Handle cable came out from the housing and ended up with to much play in it to open and close the valve. I thought it was like a tv cable that could be cut and screwed back in. So I tried to...

    Turtle Beach - Thousand Trails - Manteca Ca

    We will be moving out of the area, but need to stay part time in the same area for awhile. We went by this park and put our name on the annual site list. I noticed a Cyclone and a Landmark at the park and wanted to hear if the owners are on this forum. I like the size of the lots compared to...

    Superglide - What not to do

    I love the sulerglide hitch, but never paid attention to the mechanical parts. When I bought it they added a capture plate over the original and screwed it in place. Once it was on I I forgot about it. I took the fifth wheel to the dealer for a repair and picked it up when finished. I drove...

    Same old electrical issues, better but not fixed

    Our 33RK has been in the shop 2 1/2 months out of the last 3. Most issues have been resolved, but we still have electrical problems. We still have a problem when the slides are closed and we are pulling the unit. We turn on the propane and fridge and the slide fuse blows. The shop traced...

    Tires and Rims

    I searched through many topics and was looking for clarification on why some decide to change from 16" rims to 17.5" when upgrading tires. I looked and have those deadly tow max tires, but was not clear on if there is a benefit to getting larger rims. What type of rims are people buying and is...

    2013 Silverado 33RK - tv bedroom mount

    Silverado by bighorn. Hopefully it is okay to post under bighorn since I don't see an area for Silverados. We have a sticker in the bedrood on the wall over the dresser saying it's the area for the tv mount. I want to use the biggest screws without driving them through the backing or into any...

    Problems with 2013 Silverado 33RK

    We are on our first trip with our new fifth wheel. We love the layout. We thought there might be a few issues with our first trip, but never imagined we would have to deal with what we have had to deal with in this short period of time. I am possitive the dealer failed to inspect anything on...

    Soon to be owner of a 2013 Heartland Silverado by Bighorn model 33RK. My wife just loves the rear kitchen and I could at least tow it with my current truck. I just put a deposit down on the unit and it listed the options below. I asked the sales person and he did not even know what they all...
