One more piece to think about. The transmission. My opinion is that any one of the big three have the engine to do the job, Powerstroke, Cummings, or Duramax. The reason my current 2015 and my previous 2014 were both a GM with the Duramax is because of the Allison matched up to it. Good luck in...

Seperate question along the same lines. The switches on the hot water heater in our Gateway say 12v And 120 (Our old camper had propane and electric and I would always run them together.) Can these be run together? Is there a benefit?

Great info. I always use Lowe's as a first choice because of their military discount. And it seems every project I do requires at least 3 trips to the store!

I had a crack form on the bottom corner of the bedroom slide on our 2015 Gateway last year. Heartland told me the same thing, we will fix it, but only at the manufacturing facility in Indiana. After finding out our extended warranty wouldn't cover it, I decided to take it to Heartland. We live...

I'm a little bitty guy (only about 280 or so) so I was wondering if anyone has tested the weight limits on these steps. I always put an extra support under the bottom step on our factory steps. I also usually have to place a separate fold up step below the bottom step, otherwise that first step...

I have the RDS 60 combo on my GMC. It has the manual inline valve to open or close it off. What kind of solenoid do you have to control yours?

Our Gateway has the standard residential fridge. It came with stick-on rubber latches to keep the doors closed while traveling. Needless to say, those didn't stay on long. After trying to restick them with command strips and always having to put a case of water in front of the door to keep it...

Re: Sewer hose comtainer Did the exact same on our Gateway and they work great. I cut a piece of 1" square tubing to drop it below the propane line run under the frame.

We took that route last year. I-25 to Just on the north side of Albuquerque, then 550 to Durango. We stayed just outside Durango, so we didn't pull the trailer to Silverton. Had no problems at all with our 41' Gateway taking that route. We loved that area and had a blast spending a week...

The two things I would have paid extra for on our 2015 Gateway: 1. Automatic Leveling System 2. Separate switches for each slide This is our first fifth wheel. Didn't know about the leveling system, but did ask the sslesman if it had separate controls for the slides and he said he believed it...

Here is what I did on our Gateway. It is the Omni inline filter. I used rivets to mount diamonplate to both sides of the docking station wall to create a more rigid wall. Then mounted the filter and water regulator to the wall. I now have quick connects on both ends. I simply put the one end...

I had a MR pinbox that I put on my Gateway. On the first voyage with it from West Texas to DisneyWorld, we made it to Baton Rouge, LA before it broke. That was in June and I am still trying to settle the issue with MR. I will post a full description once I get it resolved, but what I'll say now...

Off subject question for you. Do you have your bikes on fork mounts set on the side rail with the bikes sitting on a tool box? I tried that setup but my bikes hit the front cap during turns. Have you had any issues?

Ditto on the GMC grill! My last two trucks have been a Duromax and I think the Allison transmission is almost bulletproof. That being said, I think any one of the three, Dodge, Ford, or GM, in a 3500/350 DRW setup will handle the trailer just fine. It really comes down to which truck fits you. I...

That's funny you posted a picture of a Sunset Trail Reserve. That was what we had prior to our current gateway. Front cap on our Sunset looked just like the one in the picture. I will say that Crossroads was awesome handling ours. It came with a two year warranty and we were about 9 months past...

Just wanted to give an update on this in case anyone else runs into the problem. I reconnected the switch, compressed the button and ran the slides. No buzzing. So it was the switch controlling the alarm buzzer. Fixed the bracket and reinstalled the switch. Then on to the problem of the bed not...

Our 2015 3750PT has the same set up. It has the gauge for Gray tank #1 and Gray Tank #2, and black tank on the front panel and a separate gauge in the rear bathroom that is just the rear black tank. We do not actually have a gray tank #2. (I guess the gauge that says Gray tank #2 is simply...

I called several dealers from Dallas to El Paso to get pricing on installing the six point level up on our Gateway. I had one dealer actually give me a quote of $7000. All of the others just said "Uuhhhhhh......" (Nothing else, just uh). Except for Camping World of Lubbock and El Paso who just...

I have 2015 GMC 3500 SLT DRW 4x4 GAWR FRONT - 5,600 GAWR REAR - 9,375 GVWR - 13,025 Actual from scale with myself, wife, hitch, 60 gal aux tank/tool box full of fuel. Front - 5,060 Rear - 4,060 Total - 9,120

I had a 2014 Chevy 2500 Duramax that I pulled our Gateway with in Colorado without any problems. It is about the same weight or slightly heavier as your trailer. No problems whatsoever. I did have the exhaust brake on the truck that worked excellent and really made the descents feel easy. The...

I got a new GMC 3500 a few weeks ago and just put a Moryde pin box on our Gateway. Went on the first trip this past weekend and I noticed it was chucking worse than my Chevy 2500 did. I noticed at one stop the trailer seemed to be slightly unlevel, leaning towards the front. The new dually...

I see Towmax STR on the back tire. Glad I got rid of mine off our Gateway a few weeks ago. Sorry to hear about your trouble with the tires.

I have a 2015 Gateway 3750PT with the tilting queen bed in the rear room. A couple of months ago a buzzer started sounding behind the control panel when putting the slides out. I replaced the buzzer alarm to test if it was bad with the same result. This weekend was the first trip since the...

Here's our new 2015 GMC Sierra 3500 SLT DRW 4x4! We got a great deal on a leftover 2015 that was still on the lot. Airlifter 5000 with wireless remote and RDS auxiliary 60 gallon fuel tank / tool box combo already installed. Love it so far! First test trip with the Gateway coming up in a couple...

If anyone has the time, please post some pictures of the campground. We have reservations there for a few days this summer. Hope everyone has a blast at the rally!

Has anyone heard of or had any experience with balancing beads??

Nice! I did the same thing (G614s though) last week. The slide toppers look great also. Did you order those with the Gateway new, or have them done afterwards?

Got our Gateway 3750PT out of storage Friday morning to start getting ready for summer. I've been collecting parts for the last few weeks, thanks in most part to this thread. Here's what has been accomplished so far: Washed it. Got Texas State Inpspection done. Checked the batteries. Fixed...

Is that Grande Stadium?

Great looking rig! I'm jealous it fits in the back yard. I get to drive about 15 miles to our storage. have a blast with your new show piece!

Congratulations! We have had our Gateway for about a year now and love it. Enjoy!

Great looking setup! Congrats and enjoy!

We have a 2011 Yukon XL 2500 with the 6.0. We bought it to pull our TT with before we bought a fifth wheel. It pulled our trailer with no problems. Usually averaged in the 9-10 range on fuel mileage. We still have it and use it as a daily driver, getting about 12/13 around town and 15 on the...

My old '98 Dodge did the same thing. About a month after I paid to have it fixed, I got a letter in the mail saying they had been forced to extend the emissions warranty, including the cat. Sent them my receipt and got my money back.

I use Rotella T6 in my Duramax and 15,000 miles between service is crazy to me. Most owner's manuals say "severe" vs "normal" driving conditions, with normal being what is used in marketing material or saleman pitches. In West Texas, there is no such thing as normal conditions. The dirt and heat...

http://www.campingworld.com/shopping/item/aluminum-stack-jacks-set-of-2/4204 When we had our bumper pull, I used two of these aluminum jack stands in front of the tires, one on each side. Usually had them on blocks and just ran them up to the frame. Inexpesive and worked well.

Just got the Morryde delivered to my house this afternoon. It will probably be a couple of weeks before I get around to installing it. I did the research before hand just like you are and came to the conclusion that the Morryde was a great, middle of the road choice. I get the benefit of a much...

I have the wireless remote with on-board compressor. I didn't think it was worth the money but decided to have it done anyway on a friend's recommendation. Wouldn't have another one without it. It is so nice to adjust the air based on whatever I'm doing. Just the truck, low pressure. Small...

Re: New Memeber: Pop-Up camper since 2000, Researching under 40' Toy Hauler for past 2 months We we have the 3750PT that has the patio on the side and the queen bed in the back. The bed works great because it is bigger than a bunk for our older son, but we still have one bunk for our younger...

Well, I think it is safe to say you have boosted the economy by posting all these mods that fellow RVers will be purchasing. I definetley have added the water filter setup and toilet roll holder to my To-Do list (along with the damper register and the sewer hose carrier that were already on the...
