They did help stabilize the back of the camper and were worth the purchase. I think adding scissor jacks just in front of the tires would help a lot too though. Interested in your review if you go that route. Greg 2012 | RAM 2500 | CCSB | MM3 tuned by Double R Diesel 2016 | Heartland Pioneer...

We had a similar experience with the AC in our Pioneer the first summer out. If you haven't already, pull the cover off the AC from inside the camper and check to see that both sides are sealed up properly. There's a good write up in the Bighorn section of this form and some great videos on...

They are 7" gas struts from Amazon. Greg 2012 | RAM 2500 | CCSB | MM3 tuned by Double R Diesel 2016 | Heartland Pioneer | DS310

With the old DPF only systems ('07.5-'12 Rams), deleting gets you 3-4 MPGs unless the DPF is already starting to clog from build up causing it to regen more. The main thing is to get tour tuning from a highly reputable company. They will have tunes that will allow you to run code free and with...

I've been up on top of our Pioneer a few times installing vent covers and to inspect the roof sealant and it never felt flimsy to me. For no longer than you need to be up there to pull the cover on I can't see you having any issues. Greg 2012 | RAM 2500 | CCSB | MM3 tuned by Double R Diesel...

Very nice! We keep talking about pulling the camper to Disney but have done it yet. We hear that Ft Wilderness is great. Greg 2012 | RAM 2500 | CCSB | MM3 tuned by Double R Diesel 2016 | Heartland Pioneer | DS310

Yes, that's the opening for the exhaust vent over the stove. I only open ours if we plan on cooking inside, which isn't very often. Greg 2012 | RAM 2500 | CCSB | Custom tuned by Double R Diesel 2016 | Heartland Pioneer | DS310

X2 what @Domi said. You should not need the pump on to drain the lines. Just open the valves and the faucets and it should purge the majority of the water from the system. Greg 2012 | RAM 2500 | CCSB | MM3 tuned by Double R Diesel 2016 | Heartland Pioneer | DS310

Stop #2 on our short tour of the NC mountains.... Yogi In the Smokies, Cherokee NC. Took Hwy 19 off I40 through Maggie Valley because Google showed it as the best alternative to taking the Blue Ridge Pkwy. The truck handled it just fine but had some close calls with oncoming traffic. Will be...

Yes is do. I have found that 40psi is the perfect pressure for the airbags. For me it works like this... The WDH transfers some weight to the front axle to keep from going too nose high and the airbags raise the rear to level us out and help soak up the bumps in the road. Greg 2012 | RAM 2500...

Had to solve this same problem in our previous TT. I'm sure some mfg makes these but I used 3/4" PVC to make mine. It was a ladder like structure that had arms that came off at 90* on one side that I could slide under the mattress once my daughter was up in her bed. Worked like a champ...

I know how you feel... We have to keep our camper in storage when we relocated 3 years ago. Everything about our new house/neighborhood is perfect except no place to keep the camper :( Greg 2012 | RAM 2500 | CCSB | Custom tuned by Double R Diesel 2016 | Heartland Pioneer | DS310

Nice! I made similar mods to the lower bunk and overhead cabinets in our Pioneer. You really got me thinking about doing those sliding drawers now :) Greg 2012 | RAM 2500 | CCSB | Custom tuned by Double R Diesel 2016 | Heartland Pioneer | DS310

Re: Airbags I installed Air-lift on my truck last year and love them. I want to add an on board compressor at some point, maybe next year. Greg 2012 | RAM 2500 | CCSB | MM3 tuned by Double R Diesel 2016 | Heartland Pioneer | DS310

Sharp truck! Congrats! You'll be glad you upgraded to a 3/4 ton PU the first time you pull the camper. I'll never go back to a 1/2 ton unless we decide to park the camper permanently down at the coast. Greg 2012 | RAM 2500 | CCSB | MM3 tuned by Double R Diesel 2016 | Heartland Pioneer | DS310

Once again this forum saves the day! I think the vent under the kitchen sink has failed in our rig (kitchen area smells like sewer after dumping the tanks) but wasn't sure what it was called. Ordering from Amazon today! Greg 2012 | RAM 2500 | CCSB | Custom tuned by Double R Diesel 2016 |...

Last weekend I added a set of BAL Lock Arms to the rear stabilizers to try to take some if the shake out of the camper when the girls are back in the bunkhouse. I had to make some bracket extensions to tie to the frame due to the way the slide tray rails are mounted. Greg 2012 | RAM 2500 |...

Nice work!! Replacing the standard cord with a smart plug is a nice upgrade. Greg 2012 | RAM 2500 | CCSB | MM3 tuned by Double R Diesel 2016 | Heartland Pioneer | DS310

Get the weight distribution hitch installed first and then see how it feels. I added air bags last season and it made pulling our camper that much better. Greg 2012 | RAM 2500 | CCSB | MM3 tuned by Double R Diesel 2016 | Heartland Pioneer | DS310

I've had to do this when the camper battery died while in storage. The truck provided plenty of power to run the tongue jack and the slides. I just kept the truck running while powering the camper. Greg 2012 | RAM 2500 | CCSB | Custom tuned by Double R Diesel 2016 | Heartland Pioneer | DS310

Could also be a bad switch or bad connection at the switch Greg 2012 | RAM 2500 | CCSB | Custom tuned by Double R Diesel 2016 | Heartland Pioneer | DS310

We have the same experience with DS310. X-chocks on both sides helped some. I am researching BAL stabilizers/JT Strongarms but the seem to be more suited for scissor jacks than the power jacks on our rigs. Greg 2012 | RAM 2500 | CCSB | Custom tuned by Double R Diesel 2016 | Heartland Pioneer...

Can you post some pictures of your setup? The way these hitches work, if you have sway, you are excessively light on your tongue weight. or it's something is off in the setup. Greg 2012 | RAM 2500 | CCSB | Custom tuned by Double R Diesel 2016 | Heartland Pioneer | DS310

Awesome! Glad you guys had a good first trip out [emoji106] Greg 2012 | RAM 2500 | CCSB | Custom tuned by Double R Diesel 2016 | Heartland Pioneer | DS310

Good videos. We had the same issue on our Pioneer and solved it pretty much the same way. Much more solid feeling now. Greg 2012 | RAM 2500 | CCSB | Custom tuned by Double R Diesel 2016 | Heartland Pioneer | DS310

Nice job! I really like the idea of using a battery box for the sewer connectors. Greg 2012 | RAM 2500 | CCSB | Custom tuned by Double R Diesel 2016 | Heartland Pioneer | DS310

Re: ATF: North Trail - Unknown Switch Do you have led strip lights attached to the awning roller? Greg 2012 | RAM 2500 | CCSB | Custom tuned by Double R Diesel 2016 | Heartland Pioneer | DS310

Welcome! We are considering the same project on our Pioneer. We like the lights on the awning roller but we don't always have it open at night. It seems the popular solution is to run a the wire from the new light strip through the hole in the side of the camper where the existing light comes...

We looked at both options and both are significantly more sturdy than the factory step. We decided on the Glow Steps because of the fact that they can still be deployed in tights spaces and stow away in the same space as the factory steps. Greg 2012 | RAM 2500 | CCSB | Custom tuned by Double...

Love them! Very sturdy and easy to deploy and get level. I won't have another camper without them. Greg 2012 | RAM 2500 | CCSB | Custom tuned by Double R Diesel 2016 | Heartland Pioneer | DS310

Good to know! Congrats for getting it done right! Greg 2012 | RAM 2500 | CCSB | Custom tuned by Double R Diesel 2016 | Heartland Pioneer | DS310

I like that idea alot. I hope to get by our camper this weekend, I'll have to check that out if I do. Greg 2012 | RAM 2500 | CCSB | Custom tuned by Double R Diesel 2016 | Heartland Pioneer | DS310

Re: Power's DS310 thread Thanks! It's the little things that make such a difference. For the beds, I didn't plan to use several smaller struts but did since I had them on hand. I like that they do not get in the way when the kids are getting stuff in and out. Worked out well. Up front I...

Re: Power's DS310 thread Added a few mods last summer. Reinforced the base of the sliding carrier to better support our bikes Made some brackets to hold the 4x6 blocks Replaced the main entry steps with Torklift Glowstep Revolution steps. Added some gas shocks to the lower bunk, the...
