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...

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...

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...

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...

So searching/reading the forums here, it seems Maxxis tires seem go get pretty favorable reviews. Has anyone had any troubles with Maxxis tires?

Does anyone have any recommendations for a 'stand-alone' 12V monitoring panel? I say standalone because at this point I am not looking for anything integrated into solar charger controller of fancy converter setup. Basically something to monitor system voltage, amps in and out, and anything...

The left brake light does not work when hitting the brakes. I switched left/right bulbs and the left brake ligkt still no-go. The turn signals on both sides work fine. I took it into the dealer and they said all lights work fine. I don't see how one light can work and one not if they are fed...

I jsut saw this and thought I would see if anyone out there has any experience with it. http://www.tirerack.com/accessories/detail.jsp?ID=162 I currnetly use and Accutire digital pressure guage and am happy with it and the reviews look pretty good.

I am looking at adding some air springs to my truck. My question is, what is the consensus about adding an onboard compressor? I kind of like the idea of having a 'sealed' system but don't like the idea of hanging the compressor on a frame rail exposed to the elements. I tend to be on a lot...

I have the 6 lug axles and wheels. I am tire shopping which means I am also wheel shopping as no good tires come in 15". Does anyone know what the bolt pattern is for the 6 lug axes? Thanks.

I saw SOB on the road yesterday and it had gutters over the slides. Seems like a good idea to help shed water when closed. Now more timely that ever after reading about the ramp door leak! Has anyone done this mod?

So I am researching tires and have a question. When buying new trailer tires, do you look for tires that can handle the entire GTWR or just what will actually be on the tires (GTWR - 15%-25%)? I currently have LRD tires from the factory and am looking for LRE, just for a safety margin, but...

So, not really OT, but didn't fit in any other category I saw. How are slides in a class A or C different that they can be used while retracted? I am assuming so anyways as it wouldn't make much sense to have a couch you can't use etc.

Just curious is someone is aware of a place to pick up some cheap 16" wheels w/ 6 lugs. I am running the stock 15s for now, but would really like to upgrade to some decent tires before the summer camping season starts. We tend to put 1000 miles on in a camping trip and did it twice with the...

This in not really a troubleshooting or maintenance type question, more preventative maintenance. The cheapo brass pressure regulators that Wal-Mart carries that I would assume most part timers/weekend warriors end up with reduce pressure by limiting the flow of water (or so I remember...

Yesterday afternoon our AC unit seemed to run forever without getting the temps inside down to the mid 70s set point on the thermostat. It was the first hot day we have had at ~90. -I have read the rather lengthy post about the tent mod and airflow. I feel like there is adequate airflow from...

I was wondering, for weight and balance issues, where exactly each of the holding tanks are located in my coach. Obviously, the black is the one farthest forward, then what is where and how far before/after the axles.

I have the standard setup 12V/110V (i.e. no mods or additions) system w/ 2 12V batteries. When I don't have th eshore power cable hooked up, do/should I have any 110V power. Does the Battery Charger device work the other way around? I realize that with 2 regular deep-cycle batteries I would...

Several times now, we have arrived at our campsite only to find the fuse on our landing gear has blow while in transit, leaving us to manually crank the landing gear down. Not a choice sequence of events on a brand new trailer. There is a 30 amp fuse installed and works fine while operating...

I noticed the vertical adjustments on the outboard end of the slide extentions seem to have shifted. I can see where they were at one point because there is a 'mask' where the plate was and the bolt holes used to be. Admitedly I know nothing about rv slides, but it appears to be operating...
