Pull, yes. Stop, maybe. Handle road impacts and pin weight, not a chance. We tow with the setup in the sig, and now that we actually drive with this combination for extended distances, we are looking to upgrade. It was fine for a summer or two, but now that we are actually putting some miles on...

Well, took a volt meter to the wires on the rear axle, nothin, nada, zip! I have 12V at the front axle. I am venturing a guess that the rear axle is daisy chained from the front one rather than ran back to the front. Are there any known palces to check the wiring outside of checking any...

Yes, however I noticed the amount of drag varies as the wheel turns. I backed off 7 clicks from lock up.

So I finally crawled underneath and adjusted my brakes (on one side so far). I had to go back and do it again since I had them way too loose so as not to lock up at all, even on gravel. Got it done the second time, tested it and it appears that I got it right this time. My question is this...

Also, if you time leaving great falls at dinner, the best steak we have had here is just north of town off the interstate at a place called cattlemans cut.

We live in great falls, and have made that trip a couple of times. It is boring. Following highway 3 to great falls is a shorter drive, but just as boring? Also, the predominant wind is out of the SW, so you will have a cross wind the whole time. And, if traveling this weekend, we have a...

Locks are put on motor homes to prevent movement while driving by people moving about the coach. Obviously not a problem with a tailer...

I currently tow an XLT 285BH with an F-150 with MaxTow package. This was the ONLY combination that would work on paper with a 1 series truck and a bunkhouse trailer. That said, in real life I tend to be over the RAWR by ~400 when ever we use it, I am under on all other ratings. That ~400 over...

Napa Gold for all filters if available. Most are made by Wix I believe, but a few $ cheaper most times I have found.

Same thoughts, jumping ship???

I was so ready to pull the trigger on a DRW, but I just cant bring myself to do it until this fuel pump mess settles down. I am not willing to take a $10K+ gamble on a $50K+ truck, even if i think my insurance will cover it (then premiums go up). I WANT ONE SO BAD!!!!

The OEM companion uses the 4 attachment points installed by Ford vs the single gooseneck adapter.

So I always hear talk of GCVW, RAWR, etc., but no one ever talks about hitch capacity much. I know what the technical answer is, but... I have the opportunity to get the exact truck I want, but it has a B&W turnoverball already installed. I was wanting the new Ford factory solution to get the...

I didnt see anyone mention the possibility of the high limit switch. That too will cause these symptoms. Happened to us last spring...

I mounted mine inside the front bumper. It is protected from any rain by virtue of location in regards to the hood opening. I didnt want it under the framerails in case we went thru some deeper than expected water.

HW bypass is under the forward end of the lower bunk. Pump is behind the UDC, access is right inside the ODS basement access door.

Just a heads up, Apple is starting to ban apps that use the UDID... I am willing to check it out for you, but not at that cost. http://www.macrumors.com/2012/03/25/apple-begins-rejecting-apps-for-using-the-unique-device-identifier-udid/

So, it is getting to be truck upgrade time. I am eyeballing a new F350 DRW as I would like to move up into a TH from our current Sundance. I know the haulers I am looking at suggest going with the DRW, but I am hesitant to pull the trigger on this combo because of the extra width getting...

I currently pull with an F-150 w. the MaxTow package. When we bought, camping was new to us, so I didn't want to go off the deep end first go around. This combination was the only bunkhouse we could find nearby and 1/4 ton truck to pull it. We are kicking around the idea of an upgrade to both...

Re: New toy hauler model / Heartland AJ, anything to tell yet? I see a few photos on the site for the smallest model but no real info/data!

The cost to replace from heartland would no doubt be more than a trip to wally world or any other big box store of choice to pick up a similar sized TV (especially with holiday sales going on). As for the mounting, they are pretty standardized VESA mounting patterns.

We had this same problem earlier this year. It was the thermocouple accessible from the grate side of the furnace. Jumpered past it and we had heat every time. Dealer said they could not duplicate but it definately was the fix while we were out...

We have had nothing but good times with ours. We had a few very minor items to get worked out when we first got it, but no issues since. I have started looking at toy haulers, but am reluctant knowing we cant possibly get this lucky twice with what seems to be the current state of QC in the...

Remember that your utility trailer is roughly a NEGATIVE 100 pounds off your pin weight by the time you figure 10% tongue weight and he shorter distance from axle to bumper than axle to pin.

We have a 285BH, and while it is true that it does not have all the bells and whistles of the more expensive trailers, it also does not carry the price tag either. We are also able to pull it with a 2010 F-150 and be within 200lbs of all of the weight ratings. Even though many companies say...

I had the thermocouple go out on mine at the beginning of this year. Easy fix, just 2 wires and 2 screws to replace the $7 part. Just something else to keep in mind.

We ran the A/C with no problems last summer off of a 15/20 amp circuit.

So we are finally getting ready to take a trip where we will be staying where there is electric hook ups. Fired up the A/C in the driveway and nothing. The fan blows air, and best I can tell the compressor is running on the roof (took the shroud off and it feels like it is running). The lines...

From what I have been told, they stay cleaner without the detergent because the residue attracks future dirt.

I am betting Cookie hit it on the head. I know we went through 3 or 4 before I realized that was what we were doing. Not a one since...

We melted an adapter last summer, dealer replaced the power cord head gratis so i bought a new adapter. They said there was a bad/no ground connection in either the plug or adapter, cant remember.

I tend to not use cruise when towing the 5er as it keeps the tranny 1 gear lower than I can do when I am in control.

OK, so I decided to see what kind of draws I am really seeing in my trailer so I got out the DMM and went to town. I was not able to measure the larger draws like slides and landing gear as I only had a meter rated to 10A DC. Here is what I found... Standing Draw on system - .15A, propane...

Actually, the slight roughness on a boat hull is adventageous as it breaks up surface tension and creates small air pockets that reduce drag.

Follow where your black tank drain goes, then go straight up, good chances that is your black tank.

So... Thinking about what Lee siad, wouldn't letting most pressure out of a set of tires do the same thing? Yes, you would put a strain on the other tires, but it would be a short amount of time and would save the twisting... Then when parked, just air back up.

I busted a set of shackles on our first trip and it wasn't even that sharp of a turn. I just happened to catch a small rut on the side of the gravel road. And it was a very small rut, but just enough never the less. It was dark out when I heard the pop and when we got backed in and were...

Its kinda hard to preach something and not practice it and maintain any sort of respect among the world population.

The more time I spend on these forums, the more I realize that Heartland does not build a quality product at all, they have some good PR that monitors the forums and are sometimes willing to fix the errors they get called on. Why invest in skilled workers on the line or in the QC shop and spend...

Personally, what I would like to see is a 370, minus the rear bath and fridge closet, extend the slides back the the garage wall and put the couch and TV opposite each other like the San Antonio(?). Make this a LM or BH hauler with a real living room and 'office' with the garage. Keep the drop...
